The problem with high waisted jeans is if you’re truly an Apple (you look pregnant), they will highlight your belly.

Basically every piece of information is negativity and weight stigma. Like the Apple body must be the most criticized body type out there. Even it's description almost websites sounds distasteful compared to real life. And it really isn't fair, because rectangular builds aren't assumed as underweight and hourglasses or pears aren't ostracized for the way *they* distribute excess flesh. And I love that she acknowledged that it's really not about size, because I also have a friend who I consider apple shape and is very petite, with a naturally full bust and middle. It's all about distribution and composition.

A pregnant stomach looks different to a fat stomach, particularly on women as most of the fat is subcutaneous. Your stomach likely doesn't protrude out underneath your ribs. I gain weight primarily on my stomach, too. When I'm pregnant my stomach is a completely different shape. When I'm not it just looks flabby and wider than the rest of me but it's still flat underneath my ribs.

I am an apple and plus size EU20. I discovered the perfect jeans in Violeta by Mango (their plus store). They are are well cut, the have a bit of stretch but still hold the shape and last really well through washes. In general, most of their clothes are flattering and don't make you look like an old lady. Hope it helps my plus sizs out there. I normally wait for the sales and get new outfits, eg this summer I got my first leather biker jacket which I love for about 100$. Thanks for the positive video, really cheers me up.

When I was underweight, belly perfectly flat, I still had a wide waist. Not all apple-shaped women are fat or large. My daughter is a size 4 and fit, but she is an apple-shaped woman. She will never have thick thighs, she will never have an 18-inch waist, she will never have a huge butt. Can we please stop with the stereotyping?

Hey ! Apple shape does not mean having only a giant waist. It means having big arms and wide shoulders alongwith thin thighs, which means having a reverse triangle. Just keep this in mind while talking about apple type body shape. Also, the arms are generally heavy and legs may be any type.

Yeah, and the giant waste thing is often overstated. I've never seen an apple build that doesn't have a defined waist. Apple builds might just have wider than average waste because they are often widely built in general, and very few human bodies have proportionately tiny waists and large curves. I think the most prevalent feature is the broad shoulders, big arms and moderate-full bust, basically a large top. But you can also have fuller thighs and being an apple build.

I love this!! I am so glad you mentioned the wrap dress. I am such a fan. I have fifteen (yes, 15) wrap dresses plus five (5) wrap tops all made by the eponymous Diane von Furstenberg!! It is like magic. All the problems disappear and the positives pop out. I honestly don't know why it is so underrated because in my experience, a DVF (it has to be DVF, no one does it better) wrap moulds to your body and you actually create it each day you wear it. I swear it has some magical powers. I am a rectangle/inverted triangle (I call myself an inverted trapezium) and a wrap dress makes me look like an hourglass.

@@KimXO that's untrue. If you don't follow trends at all you risk aging yourself. You need to incorporate current trends into what flatters your body if you want to look your best. You don't have to wear every trend but there will always be some that work for you every season. For example, I hate maxi or midi length skirts and warmer colored things so I skip those trends. There are some things that you just won't like but if you like something you can always make it work by bringing the eye to the right areas and tailoring your clothes correctly.

A lot of times, these videos are way too general and our bodies are actually a combination of two or three body types. Personally I always feel depressed after watching these videos and actually don’t find them helpful. I would say enjoy life and wear what YOU feel you look good in and ignore all these cookie cutter rules of what you are “supposed” to wear. I feel you, I really do. I have done all the measurements to see what body type I have and by the measurement standards, I am in between an hourglass and a rectangle, but when I look in the mirror, my shoulders appear wider than my hips, so then I think maybe I’m an inverted triangle, yet I tend to gain weight in the tummy area, making me an apple. So in the end, all these videos make me is confused and I start to feel like I can’t wear anything. I finally have come to the realization that I have body dysmorphia and hate the way I look no matter what. These videos may help some women, but it just makes me hate my body even more.

V necklines, no cropped sweaters, cardigans are great left open for the column effect making sure to wear different colors. Ex. Black top and pants with bright cardigan, hip to knee length. Watch where sleeve length ends, do not want it ending at largest part of waist drawing attention there. Sweaters should end hip length or below. Best test is to take a photo of outfit in a full mirror to see what flatters as opposed to just looking in the mirror. I use to be a pear and menopause made me an apple. Until I took a photo and understood what worked for me I bought things based on shape recommendations that made me look pregnant.😱

Thanks for this amazing video. I have a question. Can I wear a black fishnet stockings with a knee length black tulle skirt and black top. I've been searching it all over the internet, but couldn't find an answer. Neither did I saw any model wearing afishnet stockings with tulle. Maybe fishnet stockings doesnot look appropriate with tulle, I'm not sure. I'm planning to wear it for comic con, and following a cat theme outfit with cat ears and neck band.

I find that any knit garment must be medium to slightly firmer fabrics. Never thin or form fitting unless a full silhouette such as a tent dress, etc. The medium knit hangs straight and does not cling. I make my own tees with a v-neck, fitted bust and a slight flare below. You can still tuck in but I almost never do, Pants and skirts must never be tight at the waist to avoid the dreaded muffin top. I find frontal views can be tricked but side views are the pitts, What about you?

Basically every piece of information is negativity and weight stigma. Like the Apple body must be the most criticized body type out there. Even it's description almost websites sounds distasteful compared to real life. And it really isn't fair, because rectangular builds aren't assumed as underweight and hourglasses or pears aren't ostracized for the way *they* distribute excess flesh. And I love that she acknowledged that it's really not about size, because I also have a friend who I consider apple shape and is very petite, with a naturally full bust and middle. It's all about distribution and composition.

A pregnant stomach looks different to a fat stomach, particularly on women as most of the fat is subcutaneous. Your stomach likely doesn't protrude out underneath your ribs. I gain weight primarily on my stomach, too. When I'm pregnant my stomach is a completely different shape. When I'm not it just looks flabby and wider than the rest of me but it's still flat underneath my ribs.

Yeah, and the giant waste thing is often overstated. I've never seen an apple build that doesn't have a defined waist. Apple builds might just have wider than average waste because they are often widely built in general, and very few human bodies have proportionately tiny waists and large curves. I think the most prevalent feature is the broad shoulders, big arms and moderate-full bust, basically a large top. But you can also have fuller thighs and being an apple build.

I love this!! I am so glad you mentioned the wrap dress. I am such a fan. I have fifteen (yes, 15) wrap dresses plus five (5) wrap tops all made by the eponymous Diane von Furstenberg!! It is like magic. All the problems disappear and the positives pop out. I honestly don't know why it is so underrated because in my experience, a DVF (it has to be DVF, no one does it better) wrap moulds to your body and you actually create it each day you wear it. I swear it has some magical powers. I am a rectangle/inverted triangle (I call myself an inverted trapezium) and a wrap dress makes me look like an hourglass.

These body shape tips never address if you are bigger and have a big tummy, especially lower tummy. Most assume you have a flatter belly area. Most of these suggestions make me look pregnant.
Thank you Kim! I really love the emphasis on getting 'attention' away from the 'concerned' area which is the wide waist etc. And solving that by drawing attention to the chest, arm or leg areas...whichever we want to showcase just to draw attention. I love my broad chest and arms and neck so I will focus attention on that. Apple shape as opposed to size! Awesome! ✌

A lot of times, these videos are way too general and our bodies are actually a combination of two or three body types. Personally I always feel depressed after watching these videos and actually don’t find them helpful. I would say enjoy life and wear what YOU feel you look good in and ignore all these cookie cutter rules of what you are “supposed” to wear. I feel you, I really do. I have done all the measurements to see what body type I have and by the measurement standards, I am in between an hourglass and a rectangle, but when I look in the mirror, my shoulders appear wider than my hips, so then I think maybe I’m an inverted triangle, yet I tend to gain weight in the tummy area, making me an apple. So in the end, all these videos make me is confused and I start to feel like I can’t wear anything. I finally have come to the realization that I have body dysmorphia and hate the way I look no matter what. These videos may help some women, but it just makes me hate my body even more.
It’s so interesting I found I’ve been drawn to all these tricks for years unaware that they were well known! Wish I had this video years ago, would of saved me so much time in my 20s! I would add if you like oversized jumpers/sweaters try find ones that have a v neck! I get lots of comments when I wear my v neck ones. Also turtle necks work well if you do the monochromatic look with a leather or denim jacket on top! Thanks for making this Kim!

Svetlana Orlova lol!! Thank you! This is actually my natural colour. I don’t think nice touched colour in over a year...BUT I added extensions that are a bit lighter than my natural colour. Perhaps that’s it! Xoxoxo ❤️❤️
Thank you so much for this video and information! Would love to see more videos on dressing an apple body shape. Would love to see how to buy and dress a shape where the waist is a larger size than the rest of the top and torso, or larger than the hips and tush in jeans and pants. Thank you!

@@KimXO I think my concern is mostly with jeans and pants. When I buy bottoms that fit my waist then the rear is baggy (I don't have a round one to begin with). Sometimes the same runs true with tops that end up being too big and baggy in the shoulders. But, honestly, the pants and jeans are a bigger problem, especially those that are more tailored and have less stretch. Thank you!!!! 💖

This is great because I’m new to the apple shape and clueless how to best style. How can sweaters work for us?

V necklines, no cropped sweaters, cardigans are great left open for the column effect making sure to wear different colors. Ex. Black top and pants with bright cardigan, hip to knee length. Watch where sleeve length ends, do not want it ending at largest part of waist drawing attention there. Sweaters should end hip length or below. Best test is to take a photo of outfit in a full mirror to see what flatters as opposed to just looking in the mirror. I use to be a pear and menopause made me an apple. Until I took a photo and understood what worked for me I bought things based on shape recommendations that made me look pregnant.😱
Empire tops always look like maternity tops on me. V necks are great though

Body con skirts with shape wear and a body suit or shirt that meets the top of the skirt. Look for texture. A leather skirt. Or one that has a flapped front. Check Shein for some inexpensive options. I am 16/18 apple/ inverted triangle, I'm able to pull it off.

I am an apple shape, and, since I got sick 3 years ago, I went from a us size 6 pants to 12. I was asked if I was pregnant. I'm 53 so I took it as a complement lol, but really, I loved this video except for the fact that all the models you've shown us are far too thin to be able to relate. Would you be able to do a redo with average sized apples? 💖

Thanks for this amazing video. I have a question. Can I wear a black fishnet stockings with a knee length black tulle skirt and black top. I've been searching it all over the internet, but couldn't find an answer. Neither did I saw any model wearing afishnet stockings with tulle. Maybe fishnet stockings doesnot look appropriate with tulle, I'm not sure. I'm planning to wear it for comic con, and following a cat theme outfit with cat ears and neck band.
I find that any knit garment must be medium to slightly firmer fabrics. Never thin or form fitting unless a full silhouette such as a tent dress, etc. The medium knit hangs straight and does not cling. I make my own tees with a v-neck, fitted bust and a slight flare below. You can still tuck in but I almost never do, Pants and skirts must never be tight at the waist to avoid the dreaded muffin top. I find frontal views can be tricked but side views are the pitts, What about you?
Well yes apple is a shape but we’re apples because our fat goes straight to our stomachs instead of evenly around our body. It really sucks
I love Wit & Wisdom jeans especially with the "ab-solution" band. I try to wear tops with large print or asymmetrical. Love layering too!

I used to be a pear shape and in my 40’s turned into an Apple! All of a sudden, no waist and straighter hips!! The only good thing is I no longer had saddle bags on my thighs!! I’m plus sized so my legs and arms are heavier too!
After giving birth to my third baby my body was shaped into an apple. And I'm struggling with what to wear not to look big.

Shom Pal yes you can wear that for sure! Anything that draws the eye up is fabulous. You can totally wear a turtleneck! It’s depends on your body, and fit.

I really appreciate this video Kim! I recognize I have a nice chest area so I want to focus on opening it up and highlighting it more often. I have to disagree with high waisted jeans for us. I’ve tried but I always look and feel stuffed in them. I feel like lower mid rise jeans with a slightly stretchy waistband allows room for my belly to breathe. I’m still on the hunt for the perfect pair of jeans though so I’ll keep trying. Thanks for taking the time to make this video ❤️

I have an apple figure and those high-rise jeans are like magic for our figure! But you're right, if they have minimal stretch you will feel stuffed. I purchase mine from City Chic. They are true to size, stylish and have the perfect amount of stretch to feel comfortable.

That’s a beautiful belt! Great choice :) Style it with your jeans and pants and you can wear a long vest and wrap it around that on the outside. If you are styling it with a dress bring it up above your waistline almost like an empire line if the dress allows for it
