5 perfect outfits for apple shapes | plus size outfit inspiration

[@PiNkSpRinkLe1]

Finally someone who actually has this shape and wears plus sizes!

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

Thank you x

[@techiegirl2927]

Right not a size 2 calling herself applie lol

[@ginnylee9928]

You just gained a new subscriber, me, who happens to have your same body shape with the lower belly apron. You are the first content creator I have found who TRULY is an apple shape and understands the best styling techniques for her body type. You have inspired me to try wearing a belt again and possibly tuck in my top when wearing a 3rd piece. I live in Florida, so rather than a blazer, I like a kimono. Just so you know, you rocked EVERY look!

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

Ah thank you Ginny and welcome. And yeah, love hearing I can inspire a little. I shall create some summer outfits soon xx

You're always so professional but this video has amped it up!!! That pink blazer is stunning on you.

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

Ah thank you so much Daisy. I’m trying hard to improve my videos so it makes me so happy that’s it’s being noticed. Thank you xx

@@ImjustmeMarleen I'm not plus sized, I'm actually a petite but I love your style. I think it works for a person of any size.

Agree a brilliant video

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

Thank you

[@evelynsaungikar3553]

A tip that made all the difference for me. Match the colour of your top and bottom, and add a contrasting jacket. This creates a column of colour, which de-emphasizes the waist. Also, a completely monochrome outfit, even in a striking colour like red. Finally, a jean jacket adds structure but is still casual. Better than a hoodie, which makes me look like a potato.

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

Ya I’m not a fan of hoodies either and yes monochrome is amazing

[@valerielynn3853]

Great video,that bottle green wrap dress was stunning on you.

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

Thank you Valerie x

[@flag70]

I clicked on this video even though I’m a completely different body type. You know how to dress your body to perfection. You prove it’s not about size or shape. Everyone can learn how to look fantastic. Keep on inspiring.

You are the first person I have come across who understands an apple shape. Such great advice. I have subscribed.

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

Ah thank you so much and welcome

[@AutumnAtFox]

Some really lovely tips. I'm a super casual girl who needs to up my wardrobe with some more professional attire. No matter what I seem to try on, all I see is tummy, then feel horrible about my body. But I can see how these tips might really change that. Thank you so much for showing curvy girls a few new tricks.

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

My pleasure and I hope it works for you

[@gerigaskill785]

Soooo many pretty outfits, most with pieces we already own. You've inspired me to start tucking in my shirts and wearing a belt because you created quite a few flattering outfits doing just that, thank you!

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

Ohh yeaahhh. Love hearing that xx

[@grammyet]

Love the pink blazer on you! So pretty for spring. I am on the hunt for the right natural linen blazer. Blazers always make an outfit look pulled together! Thanks for the great video! 😊

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

It was my pleasure thank you. If you a size 20-22 H&M has some great ones but they no longer do plus. Otherwise try mango or river island. Great quality blazers there xx

[@TamiPeople]

Hi Ms. Marlene I have a apple shape too. I love how you inspire us apple shape ladies to step out of our comfort zone.

Thank you Sandra, you too x

[@uscitizen898]

I stumbled on your video. I LOVED how you showed apple shapes can and do look stunning in more shaped/tailored clothing! 🥰 I see so many apples wearing baggy, shapeless clothing, trying to hide their bodies, thinking they're too big to look classy! You have shown that's not true. You have shown how any shape can look beautiful...as you are! 🥰🥰❤❤ Thank you for your wonderful tips.

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

It was my pleasure and glad you found me. Hopefully I can keep inspire xx

[@Pinkychi305]

The most flattering skirts I have are peplum pencil skirts, it can be dressed up or dressed down easily with shoes and accessories. You look so good in everything!

[@jacquelinefogden1308]

Hi Marleen, you looked good in everything. Are the trousers from SHEIN? You make them look so good. I’m abit worried to buy trousers and jeans from there in case they don’t fit and then you got the hassle of sending back but looking at you, maybe I will. I’m trying to find the perfect wide leg trousers. Well, and jeans, that aren’t bell bottoms because if your plus size, they make not only the waist bigger but the legs as well. Definitely need a blazers, although that’s way out of my comfort zone now I’m bigger. Thanks for your videos, keep em coming. ❤❤😊

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

My pleasure and I hope to inspire you to try new things. The bell bottoms are amazing for our apple shapes 😁

[@Webshari]

The blazer looks great on you. It just feels too much for my casual style. I have a huge selection of cardigans though. For all seasons and colors. My other issue is that my tummy isn’t round. It comes in at my waist and goes out from there (top and bottom) like my fluff is cinched in at the waist naturally. Any ideas?

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

I believe you have a B belly, that’s what I have. Top belly and a bottom belly? A blazer can look fab with casual styles, try one over a hoodie? That’s very on trend. If you still prefer your cardigans, but want a change, try adding a shoulder pad to the cardigan. I will give a little more structure. I got a big bag of them on Amazon for not a lot. Hope that helps x

I found a blavk catgo skort judt above the knee and i wish i had bought all 3 colors because they had sold out when i returned for them. But i sure do wear it a lot in spring and summer and a navy stretck judt above knee shorts. Im sure going too make more colors in the navy shorts because tjey are the perfect fit. I have too wear tank tops under all my clothes for a bra with double pocket short sleeves for warmer weather. Allergic too laytex.

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

[@marjoriefinlay3303]

Should the belt match your top or your bottom

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

That much depends on what you would like. I do both. I often wear a belt the same colour as I top, especially if I want to lower my waistline. Often I match my belt to my shoes but I prefer simple neutral outfits. Some prefer to make accessories a big splash of colours. Play around and see what you prefer x

[@meganjvhenderson8521]

I can’t get any of the links to work. I would really like to purchase a pair of the wide leg trousers.

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

I don’t know why, I’ve just tried several from my phone and they all work perfect. Maybe try again tomorrow, could just be a glitch. X

During the winter and gall i wear quilted and knit vests they do slim my tummy well. And i eben have a thin vest for warmet weather with front zipped pockets for when walking my pup.

[@jozefbols4386]

Hoi sweet Marleentje, I forgot to tell you that i have a stomac and hanging-belly bump (it forms a reverse 3 so to speak). I looks like I have a waist (also on the sides) but it gives me problems with clothing and most of all with tucking in or tops/shirts/sweaters!!! So I have not really an apple shape but an apple-hourglass/plus size hourglass(??) kind of shape HAHA. Like a 8 with big rounds ROFL. So that creates other problems, do you not think so? It is annoying. I so love your style, all you do even if I'm not a fan of all the colors you like, you look amazing in them anyway!! You rock them sweetie! We all love your vids, lots of hugs from Pinkie

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

Hi Pinkie thank you so much. I have a belly like yours too, we call it a B belly. I just wear shapewear to even it out a bit but I know that’s not an option for you. Have a great week xx

[@TheHighPriestess9752]

At 5ft tall and apple shape, I worry about wearing the wide leg pants. I’m scared it will make me more rounded. It’s a struggle dressing up

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

I fully get that, the wide leg is a little harder on less tall.. first I’d say try and order a pair and simply try them on, try with diffent shoes, create a few outfits and then snap a few pictures. Then return them if you’re not fully in love. If you still want too, play around with different kinds and different widths. You may need to go closer to a strait leg but wide enough to still have the skimming effect on the belly. The only way (I’m sorry to say) is trial and error. If you love the style you can definitely find a pair but yes it will take time. Best of luck xx

[@techiegirl2927]

Are you tall ?? I'm 5'3

[@teebee5326]

Need more for apples with a lot of back fat. Wrap tops dont work.

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

That’s ok, simply go for something that flows more, like layers x

[@gems4turner444]

you don’t need a pair pants in every color. Just 3 neutral colors

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

That depends on who you are I suppose lol. I prefer my neutrals but have 4 of the same as seen in the video lol. Each to their own x

[@annmariehicks1239]

I want to like blazers, but I feel like I look like a linebacker . As an apple I already have shoulders and boobs and I feel like blazers add more here where I don't need more. Advice?

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

You could try a collarless blazer or you can try a cardigan instead. I would just add a should pad if you have droopy shoulders like me. A jacket (like the French Parisian style ones, without too much detail can also work well for us xx

[@concernedcitizen4031]

I really hate wide legged anything and hate pointed toe shoes.

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

That’s ok, each to their own thankfully lol

[@deak1deak1]

That pink jacket is lovely on her but I think sloping shoulders needs shoulder pads

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

I totally agree

[@denisefuentes7905]

My problem is that I live in a very hot climate. No jeans blazers trousers layers etc.

Omg I suffer as well with my body uncomfortably built as well and I promise it’s a job trying to dress this mess lol . I wear a lot of black for sure I like dresses better than skirts because I don’t have to try and find a waist that isn’t there. jeans are not my friend because if they have pockets on them they the pockets touch each other because the lack of butt is not there Jesus thank you for what you have given us but please help us to fix it….
