Ethnic Wear For Apple Shaped Body
First things first: having an apple-shaped body is absolutely gorgeous. And if you feel your naturally fuller upper body and toned less are less beautiful, stop right now!
Many women, afraid of curves, don’t embrace them enough to create an amazing silhouette. Hence, their photos, especially in Indian wear, are often in the delete folder. But fret not! This blog will be a guide for rocking India wear with an apple shaped figure.
Understanding basics of styling apple shaped body:
So what exactly makes an apple-shaped body? Picture this: your upper body takes centre stage. Your shoulders and bust are naturally fuller, while your legs are long, lean, and made to be shown off. Your waist may be softer and less defined.
Styling this body type is easier than you think. Just remember two things: length and structure. Let us understand 5 ethnic wear that can immediately create this.
A-line or Straight Kurta:
Whether it’s a casual style or work wear, A-line silhouettes will be your ‘jigri yaar’.
Opt for kurtas with V-necks, deep U-necks, collared styles, or front-open designs. They break the visual width of the upper body. Vertical stripes, colour-blocking, and dresses with interesting details around the neckline or hemline can add more drama to your look.
High-Waisted, Soft-Flare Lehengas
Here’s the secret to nail lehenga for an apple-shaped body - don’t think of hiding your belly (because honestly, why should you?). Think of creating length and balance. High-waisted lehengas with fluid, flowy flares balance volume beautifully, especially when paired with beautiful statement blouses.
Flowy Sarees with a Statement Pallu
Apple shaped body women often stay away from sarees. But Vidya Balan in The Dirty Picture is a classic proof that sarees are made for women with curves.
Just drape in a way that your pallu makes an entrance, just like in Bollywood. Avoid tight drapes and add a blouse that steals the spotlight (go deep neck if you are comfortable).
Empire Waist Ethnic Dresses:
The empire waistline sits just below the bust. Such dresses come with an “ek pe ek muft” benefit for an apple shaped body : The raised waistline visually lengthens the body, while the flare over the stomach creates a leaner silhouette.
Avoid clingy, tight-fitting fabrics in ethnic dresses and remember to avoid large, bold prints around the midsection. While sleeveless looks amazing on this body type, if you are not comfortable flaunting your hand, opt for the fitted sleeves.
Indo-Western Layered Kurta Sets
Straight-cut kameez with palazzos, spaghetti-strap kameez paired with sharara, Indo-western styles like long jackets or cape sets work beautifully on women with apple shaped bodies. Anarkali suits are a great option too, as long as the flare starts higher up your waist.
Keep your bottoms light-coloured and kurtas slightly darker. Even co-ord sets with a longer top look amazing on this body type. Add an embellished dupatta and bas, nazar nahi hategi. Also, as much as trendy Peplums and short Anarkali may get, it is best to avoid.
Conclusion:
The secret to styling ethnic wear for this body type is not in camouflaging your but creating length and structure. Beauty, after all, is about being comfortable in your own skin. So go wild, experiment, and wear your confidence like it’s the main outfit
