Best jumpsuits for apple shapes
Finding a flattering jumpsuit for an apple body shape is easy when you know what to look for. While you might have previously leaned towards dresses to hide a tummy, a jumpsuit is a great silhouette for an apple body shape. It's all about finding one that defines your waist and is tailored for your legs.
Three fashion tips...
- Wrap & V-neck lines draw the eye up to the bust and away from your middle.

- Straight leg or tailored pants will complement slim legs.
