Body Shape : Bikini For An Apple

In my previous article I outlined how to determine your body shape. learning your body fruit shape . Today we are going to discuss bikinis and swimsuits for apple shaped women.

First of all, one thing I want to point out is that for an apple, one piece swimsuits are more flattering, there are some absolutely gorgeous swimsuits around this season and they are a far cry away from the plain old-fashioned ones reserved for grannies that were available some years ago. One piece swimsuits are actually really in fashion this year, I would go as far as to say that a one piece is actually more in trend than a bikini. 

Tankinis are also a good option for apple figures as they will hide most of the problem areas and still leave your lean legs exposed. I personally prefer swimsuits as sometimes when there is fat around the stomach, the tankini top will not meet the pants properly and look a bit weird, however it is still a good option if preferred over a one piece.

Your main body traits are a larger bust, narrower hips, broader shoulders and a less defined waist. Therefore what we want to accomplish is – to decrease attention to the upper body and bust area and increase attention to the hip and bum areas; your lower body is your best feature, we also want to try and add volume to the lower body so as to attempt to balance out the upper body.

Halter necks and strapless bikini tops will make shoulders appear larger and

therefore should be avoided at all costs. Thicker straps are most ideal as these will actually make shoulders appear narrower. An underwired bikini top is more ideal for a larger bust and for apples with smaller busts a padded bikini top will balance out your boobs with your stomach.
