Characteristics of an Apple Shaped Body

Typical characteristics of the apple body shape are a large bust, narrow hips and a full midsection.
This makes the body appear like an apple shape.

• Rounder, wider shoulder line and flattish bottom
• Average to big bust
• Ribcage and back appear somewhat wide
• Fullness around the mid-section
• Little to undefined waistline
• Narrow hips
• Slim limbs and nice legs
• Weight gains are first visible in the central torso/tummy area.

How to Camouflage a Chubby Middle

Plus Lori’s Favorite T-Shirts

It’s no secret that Lori refers to herself as an apple shape and often talks about her “chubby middle”. I think we all have what we might consider our “problem areas” that we try to disguise or camouflage. Would you agree? Hopefully, you have a laugh or two as you watch Lori’s styling tip and her favorite t-shirts from Talbots.

Shirts, T-Shirts & Other Tops

To draw the eye away from the midsection and towards the bust and shoulders, shirts should highlight the latter area while skimming over the tummy.

Opt for shirts with embellishments around the neck and shoulder areas to accentuate them. Another good option is tops that wrap at your natural waistline and flare at the hip. This will conceal a bigger tummy.

If you want to hide some extra weight around the midsection, you could also look for tops with diagonal lines, big prints, and texture. These are better for concealing than solid colours.

‍Don’t tuck your top in your bottoms, and make sure it is long enough to cover the tummy. Preferably it should end below the hipline.

‍Avoid crop tops and tight-fitted shirts that would highlight the wider tummy area. Also, stay away from details and embellishments around the midriff area so as not to attract extra attention to this area. Finally, steer clear of tops that end above the hipline since this would make the torso look bigger.
