Body Shape Bible: How To Identify and Dress Apple Body Types

As Meghan Trainor said, “Any body type is beautiful. It’s all about loving what you got and rocking it.” We agree. Dressing according to your body type is more important than you think. Whether you prefer classic silhouettes or can’t have enough of trends, every ensemble will look better when you understand your body and adapt your favourite looks to suit that style. There are a number of body types and we kickstart our Body Shape Bible with a round-up of apple-shaped body types.

Apple-shaped body types have legs we could, don’t underestimate us, kill for.
