the apple shape fit

Unlike Pear Shapes, Apple Shapes have their body weight distributed in the abdomen/chest, with relatively slimmer thighs and upper legs. Apple shapes also have a “top heavy” appearance and full bust, waist and upper back. Apple shapes should steer clear of high-rise pants. This style is unflattering and will only divert attention to your full waistline and short, thick torso. Look for a mid-rise jean instead, one that falls just slightly below the belly button, and doesn’t get too close and personal in the midsection.

the Best Fitting apple shape Jean

The best fitting apple shape jean is a mid to higher rise (contains the tummy without cutting into the stomach) jeans. A wider leg opening will also help balance out an apple shape’s upper half. The key is to pick a jean that has plenty of support and comfort throughout the hips and thighs as well as your lower abdomen. You may also need a higher rise in the upper back, so make sure to pay attention to both the front and back rise.

Don’t be afraid to show off your slender legs! Try a lighter wash and/or slight thigh sanding or whiskering.

Who wears it best

America Ferrera seems to be the apple of everyone’s eye when it comes to style…(and yes, the pun is intended).
America knows how to work her apple curves. She sticks to a slim jean that has an average rise that provides full coverage and elongates her torso.

Apple shapes, take a cue from this gal. Balance the top half of your body with a bootcut or straight leg leg opening. Choose dark wash jeans, they will make you look shapely, structured and slim.

What to Avoid

Of course, the obvious would be to avoid baggy styles that will only make you look frumpy. Another style to avoid are skin tight Skinny Jeans.
