Apple Type: Diet, Workout, and Style Guidelines

Many consider the type of figure "apple" one of the most unsuccessful. Even slender women and girls with such a body have to constantly control their weight. However, everything is not so bad: in order to bring your figure closer to the ideal, you need to choose the appropriate diet, training and make strong-willed efforts. To emphasize your strengths and hide flaws, you should take into account a number of style recommendations: suitable clothes and well-chosen accessories work wonders.

Its characteristic features are as follows:

• a tendency to accumulate fat on the sides;
• the same width of the hips and chest;
• big breasts;
• rather large buttocks, which may protrude slightly;
• poorly expressed waist.

Many people confuse the "rectangle" with the "apple" shape.

Of course, it is very important to choose a wardrobe, but this is not enough for ladies with a rounded figure. They have to keep in shape all the time, train and eat right. It is worthwhile to consider in more detail the recommendations regarding diet and physical activity.

In order for the muscles to appear above and below, you can ride a bicycle, swim and run more. Some believe that to improve the shape of the "apple" will be enough just a regular workout for the press, but this is not so. The body should look harmonious, which means that you need to pay attention to all areas.

Many women with a rounded figure very often carry out warming and cooling procedures. They are more suitable for pears. "Apples" should pay special attention to skin tightening, because it tends to lose tone after weight loss (especially sharp). It is necessary to provide it with nutrients, improve blood circulation in the tissues. It is recommended to undergo a massage, mesotherapy. Such procedures make the skin more elastic, prevent sagging, accelerate the process of burning fat.

Particular attention should be paid to the chest. Due to weight loss, it can also sag. It is recommended to regularly take a cold shower, use a cream for tightening. Train in a good supportive bra.

The main goal is to emphasize beautiful breasts, slender legs and hide the protruding belly. Clothing, included in the basic wardrobe, should build a body, visually make it longer, which can be done due to ornament, color separation, cut.

Do not wear tight and shapeless things.

For women with a rounded figure, the following options are suitable:

• bustier dress;
• oblique cut, asymmetry;
• trapezoidal style;
• balloon;
• A-silhouette;
• with smell.

It is worth choosing not straight, but semi-fitted dresses.If the shoulders are quite massive, then models on wide straps are suitable, if everything is fine with them - on narrow ones. In the summer, young girls with a rounded figure look great in flying sundresses. An excellent option for special occasions is an empire-style evening model.

A lady with an “apple” figure can choose flying blouses, tops with draperies, and a yoke for her wardrobe. An option that does not fit at all is classic shirts. You can opt for combined models, layering. If you really like shirts, you should wear unbuttoned jackets, Chanel style jackets, and vests over them. Do not fasten the top buttons on the collar of the shirt.

You can wear fairly long cardigans without a belt, sweatshirts, loose short sweaters or oversized models. Ladies whose neck is short should choose things without a collar. You can wear tunics that highlight beautiful legs and hide areas that are problematic. It is not recommended to wear knitted blouses with through fasteners, noodle sweaters, tight-fitting turtlenecks.

A woman with an “apple” figure, who wants to dress in such a way as to emphasize her appearance, is unlikely to be able to do without trousers.

For ladies whose legs are slim and their hips are neat, almost any model is suitable, namely:

• models tapering below or straight;
• chinos with a low waist and pinches;
• high waisted trousers;
• classic models with arrows.

It is recommended to make the top free. With trousers it is better to wear a tunic, blouse, top that will fall off in light folds. A flare can be chosen if the pants are made of thin fabric. Jeans should be selected based on the same principle. You can wear classic straight models, skinny and boyfriends. A blazer jacket will complement the classics, a modern model - a tunic or a loose T-shirt. A variety of sweatpants and shorts are suitable for slim women with an apple shape. Ladies of medium build can also wear such clothes, but only if the top is pretty loose.

There should be no emphasis in the abdomen. If the skirt is fluffy, you can fill in a blouse, but a blazer, vest or jacket should be thrown on top. With a narrow skirt, a blouse needs to be worn out.

The following models are best suited for apples.

• straight skirt with a slit or a slot;
• pencil;
• trapezoid;
• with smell;
• tulip.

If the buttocks are flat, you should not choose a year. Flare-sun will not work if the stomach protrudes too much. You can choose the above models in the event that these parts of the body are not problematic. As for the length, it is better to choose options just below or above the knee, but this rule is not very strict.

With the onset of cold weather, the "apple" figure can significantly build up or become spherical - it all depends on how a woman knows how to dress.

Combine style and comfort with the following options:

• fur coats - auto-ice, straight, fur with a short pile;
• jackets - shortened;
• jackets - men's blazers, long single-breasted, related to the Chanel style;
• coat - oversized, balloon, double-breasted tunic, straight;
• raincoats - a straight trench coat without a collar and a belt, A-silhouette.

For the “apple”, a straight fit, as well as a trapezoid, is well suited. Do not choose models with large hoods, belts, large buttons.

The best option for ladies with a rounded figure is a one-piece swimsuit.

It is recommended to choose models such as:

• longitudinal strips in the center (they should be quite bright);
• material with a fine pattern, fabrics that do not shine, plain colors;
• wide ties or straps in the neck;
• side inserts (it is better to choose contrasting);
• V or square neckline.

Do not choose horizontal stripes, colorful patterns, light colors. For ladies who are not slim, tankini, swimwear, dresses are suitable. If the model is still separate, it is worth supplementing it with a hat with wide brim, a dress for the beach, pareo. Such elements are distracting.

Some things are completely contraindicated for ladies with an apple shape.

The following wardrobe elements make the women less attractive:

• rounded deep neckline;
• rough and transparent textured materials;
• thin belts for "vases", all belts for "apples";
• flounces, sleeves, distinguished by splendor;
• tight or too loose things;
• tightly buttoned, voluminous collars are not suitable for women whose neck is short;
• completely straight dresses;
• large geometric patterns, large flowers.

Pants with a low waist and short skirts can only be worn by very slim and long-legged “apples”.

It is recommended to choose models with heels. The ideal option is a hairpin. Platforms, shoes with wide heels will not work for the “apple” figure. If stability is a priority, it is worth choosing a wedge. The sole may be flat, but this option is more preferable for slender girls and the summer period.

You should not choose a very small or very large bag. The best option is strict geometry and medium size. It is very good if the bag is not the same color as the shoes, but at the same time harmonizes with it. To highlight the neckline, you can use unusual earrings, several rows of chains, large brooches. The owner of a long neck can wear scarves, stoles, scarves. However, they should not be wound too tightly, they should hang down.

A lot depends on the type of fabric. It can visually slim or create excess volume. Do not choose elastic, transparent, rough textured fabrics.

Smooth, easily drapable materials that are soft are suitable for apples.

• silk;
• knitted;
• thin linen;
• from wool crepe;
• cotton.

It is recommended to abandon pastel colors and choose dark colors - black, saturated green, brownish, deep purple, burgundy, dark blue. "Apple" does not fit the contrasts of the top and bottom. Too small and very large prints will fill up. If you really like them, you should place them not in the abdomen, but below and above it.
