Video Description

As someone with an apple body shape I’ve spent years following all the "expert" style rules that are supposed to flatter my figure. Spoiler alert: they didn’t. In this video, I’m breaking down 5 common fashion rules for apple body shape types that actually made me look and feel worse — and what to wear instead. Whether you’re struggling to dress your apple body shape, sick of baggy tops and confusing advice, or just want to feel confident in your clothes again, this one’s for you. 💥 ✅ SUBSCRIBE for real talk on fashion, body types, and confidence: [your channel link] 💬 COMMENT: What "rule" have you followed that totally didn’t work for your body type? #applebodyshape #fashionover50 #styletips ✅ My LTK Shop | http://bit.ly/3HB7XI9 *WHAT I’M WEARING* Top (XL): https://rstyle.me/+bN-_bYSuWhpS3UlzTCa-kA Nordstrom: https://rstyle.me/+F9FQUZNJRq3YhrSS65B8uA Earrings: https://rstyle.me/+8FdiG8M1Xi23IwN3DMNgxQ Lip Oil (Les Deux): https://rstyle.me/+iBSONaEOuHXGEwoqGXzuWQ Canada : https://rstyle.me/+_wO7XpGP8-6n3USnoCMC_g *OPENING PHOTOS* Frank & Eileen Belfast (XL): https://rstyle.me/+IGe5B7pxC49KBuZCpcwmtQ Nordstrom: https://rstyle.me/+elppWDL4uQRzTT0Y0UmOCw Cat Tee (XXL): https://rstyle.me/+tlko-EbMov4gC9UiUxgGlQ Old Navy Jeans (Petite 18): https://rstyle.me/+OVWMVVZJQb8b-p9rTNTR0A Frank & Eileen Tuscany Linen Set (XL): https://rstyle.me/+S4rl4aHtT2Y5V5d5AofRNA Old Navy Dress: https://rstyle.me/+0hVXUk7g7Hc1k1rfCvOmgw Wicker Purse: https://rstyle.me/+FnOWrec4SDaGMvL-1l1nqQ Sandals: https://rstyle.me/+D0bLDLseTeyJDzJLbmCY1A Straw Hat: https://rstyle.me/+z8uXMV83A9wwKQCVYGCvvQ Gingham Dress: https://rstyle.me/+TZ42Lq7VkLJxF_mQh2kbQg Purse: https://rstyle.me/+jubAsEetI7pVcWSjLj0MLA Sandals: https://rstyle.me/+Gn4jl1yzNhCnYvMk9UDvSg Pink Bathing Suit: https://liketk.it/5aDIp Popilush Video: https://youtu.be/W5u2FgwpM2c 1.
