Apple Body Shape
What exactly is an Apple Shape Body? Do you have broad shoulders, full bust area, waist area and upper back? It means you are in the apple category. Similarly you tend to have slimmer legs, arms and hips. You also gain weight around your waist area.
Since your upper body is wide you need to adapt to ‘less is more’ and wear a leather jacket that doesn’t have too many embellishments, zippers or too much detailing. It will only make you look much wider from your waist and bust area. So go for a simple jacket with no padding. A belt that you can freely tie around your wait will be a plus, as this will accentuate your waist line and bring focus towards it, rather than your broad upper built and will give you a feminine outlook. So go for a nice fall color that compliments your skin tone and if there is not belt you can always add one to jazz up your leather jacket.
