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!

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.

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. ❤❤😊

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?
@ImjustmeMarleen6 ай бұрын
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

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

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

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
@ImjustmeMarleen6 ай бұрын
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
