If there is one thing that women have difficulty with especially if they are curvy. It can be a real chore to find clothing that will fit everywhere, hips, backside, and waist without gaping or bagging. There are only a few makers that produce jeans and clothing that are designed for all body types one of the makers of clothing designed to accentuate any body type is Nelly. The clothing line produced by Nelly is called Apple Bottom Jeans.
Apple bottoms come in a variety of colors and sizes and they are designed for people who have a bit more curve to them particularly in the lower body. The theory behind this clothing line is that women should not have to change their appearance in order to fit into the clothing that is available especially when it comes to trendy fashion. The belief is that clothing should be made to fit the many types of women that appear naturally.
Curvy women have always faced a problem with being able to be trendy. This is because the majority of manufacturers do not create clothing that works for them especially in hip, trendy or fashion forward styles due to the conceptual picture that most people have of the type of person who should be wearing these types of styles.
Apple bottom jeans defy that stereotype and produce for body types outside the status norm. Read more
