Here’s some advice for ladies who have slender legs and lower portions, and tend to carry their weight in the center of their bodies!  We want to choose a swimsuit that draws the eye to your shoulders, and has a plunging neckline, or belted center. 

A few celebrities with apple shaped figures are Jennifer Hudson, Tyra Banks and Angelina Jolie.  Sure, I know Angelina is thin (because most celebrities are unrealistically thin), sure, but she’s apple shaped!  Apple shaped doesn’t mean big… it’s a shape – duh!  Everyone with this shape has to shop with the same rules of thumb to get the suits that look good for them. 

One Piece Swimwear and Tankinis are great for Apple Shape Figures.  Popina offers a huge selection of one-piece styles that have retro charm - perfect for coverage while still being flirtatious.

One great suit for Apple girls is this Walnut Vamp Suit by Jantzen Swimwear available at Popina Swimwear.  It’s got shirring that camouflages the belly area and also detail at the top to bring the eye up to your chest and shoulders. 

Another good swimsuit for Apple shapes is the “Gina” Black and White Polka Dot Retro Tankini by Popina.  It also has shelf bra cups for extra support!

Swimwear styles for Avoid for Apple Shape Figures:

·      Two Piece (unless Tankini!)

·      Neon colors or lots of embellishments
