APPLE SHAPE

Steer clear of tight tops and plump for a long vest that won't ride up. This drop waist elongates your middle, and the drawstring prevents muffin-top flashes. Add running tights to lengthen your legs and balance the looser top.

Capri tights, £40, Helly Hansen

Top, £26, Thoosa

Trainers, £70, Asics

Neckband headphones, Nike, £39.95, from John Lewis

Water bottle, £2.99, adidas from JD Sports
