Swimsuits For Your Body Shape: Apple

Apples have a round profile, which means they carry weight on their stomach and bust, and tend to have thinner arms and legs.

If you want a two-piece, try a tankini or something with draping around the waist or hips. High cut bottoms will slim your legs.

If you want a one-piece, find a suit with a high percentage of lycra or spandex. A belt will give the illusion of a slimmer waist. Look for a lace or mesh insert, or a deep V - neckline can sex up your plus-size image.

Apples should go for dark, solid colors. It doesn't have to be black. Try a dark red or blue. You can also go for a one-piece with dark solid panels on the sides and a patterned middle to create a lengthy image.
