Dressing for Your Body Type: Apple Shapes

If you are considered an "apple" shape, you generally have a fuller bust, broader shoulders, and a thicker mid section. However, you have slim thighs, hips, and usually arms. You are the opposite to the "pear" shape as you are "top heavy".

When picking clothes, try not to draw attention to your middle, emphasize your bust and your slim hips and legs.

Styles that flatter "apple" shapes:

V-Neck Shirts, A-line dresses, and tops that flow out from your bust and glide over your waist. These will draw attention upwards and will elongate your torso.
Try to avoid scoop and boat necked shirts, as they will cause your shoulders to appear broader.

Long flowing tops/tunics that fall below your hips will accentuate your lower body, and if the have a little tie around the waist, it will give you a more defined hourglass shape.

Pick solid coloured dresses, or ones with a continuous pattern. In general, smaller print patterns are more flattering.

Add structure to your top half by wearing a fitted blazer,cropped jackets, or long blazers/coats that end just above the knee.

Wearing flared or bootcut pants will balance out your top and bottom half.

Remember to wear whatever makes you feel comfortable, and what you think suits you, because it probably will because you wear it with confidence.

Summer Lace OOTD and Natural Makeup Tutorial

Hello everyone! Today's OOTD is my favourite summer look. Lace, loose waves, and a natural makeup look. It was nice and warm today so I brought out one of my favourite dresses. It is from American Eagle, and was given to me by one of my friends a few years ago. I like that it is strapless as when I am outside enjoying the sunshine I don't have to worry about awkward tan lines! I went with a natural and glowing makeup look today, and I even filmed it for you! You can watch the video below. It is inspired by the gorgeous Gigi Hadid. xx Jess Instagram: jessicakinnari
