Apple shape women have wide & heavy upper body with slender legs and arms. To complement your looks perfectly, you need to dress appropriately and wear right footwear & accessories. The styling aim of women with apple shaped body is to draw attention to their best assets: legs & arms. Learn secret techniques to hide flaws and accentuate your best features.
1. Salwar Kameez style for Apple Body Type Women
What to wear
Empire waist full length anarkali with wide hemline, anarkali with flares starting from bodice or anarkali with embroidery/embellishment on shoulders
Salwar kameez or A-line kurti paired with churidar or leggings to accentuate slim legs. Make sure you drape dupatta on one side to divert attention from heavy torso
Delicate embroidery and detailing on kurti
