It’s not about apple bottom jeans anymore. It’s about having an apple shaped body when you hit your 40s and up, so understand that this will inevitably happen.
Meaning it’s time to rethink your choice in clothes. Thank the universe for social media then, since it’s much easier to find help and advice on dressing appropriately.
Here are really good tips for those rocking an apple body.
Redirect focal point with v-neck and necklace
The idea is to remove the focus on a certain area and redirect those eyes elsewhere.
V-necks paired with a necklace opens up the chest just enough to get those eyes looking up instead of your mid-section.
Just adjust the look as needed, depending on your bust size.
Wear a top with detailing
A nice top like this one works so well for an apple body thanks to the detailing.
It’s a nice break from v-necks while still having the same effect of drawing eyes away from the mid-section.
You’ll look lovely too!
Wear wrap dresses with V-cut
You want to do the same with a dress, especially wrap ones since they flow nicely downwards giving you a slimming look.
It’s not everyday you’ll wear a shirt.
A v-cut just draws attention the right way, all while giving that vertical line that helps slim you down a bit.
Create a waist
A rounder mid-section means your waist disappears, and you look larger, which is something you’re trying to hide.
So try to create a waist using a nice belt.
Set it a little under your ribcage and if you can, experiment with a tucked in look.
If you do tuck, tuck a little higher
Just be sure to tuck in a little higher, but not too high that you’ll look awkward.
What happens is once you get that waist out, your pants or skirt just flows out nicely.
Now you have curves again, plus you look a little taller than usual.
Tuck with flowy skirt
Look how gorgeous she looks when done right.
That long flowing skirt paired with a belt creates an hourglass shape.
It’s both classy and stylish, plus that rounder belly area disappears too.
Wear high waisted bottoms
From jeans, leggings, and jeggings, a high waisted bottom adds structure and support to the mid-section.
These are worth the money but do go for a proper fitting and see which works well for you.
Good fitting leggings can be super stylish when worn and styled right.
Wear a peplum top
Peplum tops give an illusion of having a waist since they create that curve down the middle part of your body.
Then they flare out at the bottom once it cinches the waist.
It hugs and flatters your body the right way and just works really well with your body type.
Wear tops that have slide slits
Instead of buying oversized clothes, side slits allow for tops to fit and flow down perfectly.
These also flow over the tummy better all while letting you have more room to breathe.
Tops with side slits don’t feel as constricted either.
Wear layers
Light and simple layers help break up the monotony of an outfit.
When done right, layers help give you vertical lines all while giving you a slimmer look.
Just choose layers well, depending on the season.
Show off your best features
Knowing and understanding your body means you know how to show off your best features.
If you’ve got toned legs or a nice bust, then show them off with the right outfits.
Be confident and love yourself.
Don’t hide your body
It’s easy to think that you should hide your body since you’re now rounder and not as young and sexy as you used to be.
That’s the go to reflex but don’t.
There may not be much coverage by the media but you are not alone out there.
Remember to love yourself for you are as beautiful as everyone else.
Wear a pleated skirt
These skirts look incredible for those with apple shaped bodies.
You can buy them anywhere and in any color too, plus they come with shorts underneath.
Pleated skirts work so well for apple shaped bodies since they fall over your tummy naturally all while fitting you perfectly.
Wear a monochromatic look
You can go for any color you want but just look at how flattering this is for her shape.
Which means it will look good on you too.
The way it all flows and falls naturally around her just gives off a nice feminine vibe.
Plus an all white ensemble just looks so expensive.
Choose a cargo or wide legged pant
Now take that same top but this time finish the look with nice cargo pants and sneakers.
See how cool the transformation is?
Cargo pants fit a bit more loosely so it hugs that mid-section nicely.
These balance out the body really well, plus they’re super comfy and casual.
Layer with leggings
From loose to fitting, leggings are a great item to have since they are versatile and can go with many other tops and accessories.
A loose fitting top and boots helps balance out the fitted look of your pants.
Layer with thin pieces, and have fun mixing and matching with colors.
Wide legged jeans with a blazer
Versatile, casual, chic, and really easy to put together.
The top and blazer hugs and falls around her nicely, making her look slimmer thanks to that vertical line the combination creates.
High waist jeans wrap around her nicely and holds everything in place.
