Apple-shaped celebs: Drew Barrymore, Queen Latifah, Eva Longoria, Jennifer Hudson

4. Apple body shape

• Apple body traits: Most of your weight is above the hips, which are narrow. Your back, ribs and shoulders are broad.
• Your best asset: Those legs!
• Your fashion goals: Elongate the torso and show off your legs

"As apple-shaped bodies have a fuller, rounder torso with a minimal waistline, it's important to lengthen your body. Select dresses that have necklines that elongate your figure, like V-necks. 

Dresses with an A-line or empire hem should be staples for an apple-shaped body. A way to create a waistline and draw attention away from the mid-section is to wear a structured jacket with a dress. Especially during the spring time where it can still get chilly from time to time, jackets and cover-ups are still needed! Selecting structured pieces can create a curve in your chest and hips," Tarr explains. 

Dos and don'ts

• DO go for monochromatic looks.
• DO go for v-neck tops to create the illusion of a longer torso.
• DO wear a bra that offers good lift and support.
• DO wear belts at the smallest part of your waist.
• DO wear empire tops and dresses.
• DO wear boot cut and flared jeans to create an even line from the shoulders down.
• DO wear shorter skirts to show off your legs and draw attention away from your midsection.
