Avoid turtlenecks and busy patterns.Tip: Don't wear tops shorter than your hipbone.Step 2: Elongate your figure with sheath dresses that come with a matching long coat or jacket. Empire-waist dresses are also flattering.Step 3: Wear tailored jackets that nip in at the middle, and leave them unbuttoned. This will create the illusion of a waist.Tip: Choose jackets that are the length of your fingertips when your arms are at your side.Step 4: Choose trousers and skirts whose zipper is on the side or the back to avoid calling attention to your stomach.Step 5: Wear belts that define your waist, like belts around coats and dresses, but avoid them on pants, since they can add bulk to your waist. Look for low-waisted skirts and pants, which cut across the stomach making it look half its size.Step 6: Favor one-piece swimsuits, which are good at camouflaging a round torso. Try a surplice style, which is a wraparound bodice. It helps minimize a large stomach.Thanks for watching How To Dress If You're Apple-Shaped!
