Ok, so now what? Well now it's time for some basic rules for each shape. I have included a couple of pictures for each as well. These are just guidelines. If you need ideas, Pinterest has tons of great outfit combos for inspiration.
The most important thing to remember is to try on different styles when you shop. Make sure the fit is good. That really matters. Ignore the size tag, you can cut it out and remember, you can always have something tailored to fit perfectly. That is an instant way to make your clothes look more custom. Also, wear a bra that fits really well. Hoist the girls up because it will make every shape look better and you'll also look slimmer.
So here we go...
Apple:

What to wear:
