What Kind Of Shirts Look Best On Me?

The Truth About Tops

Do not wear tops that feature a lot of busy detail, like ruffles, rouching or other embellishments. This calls attention to your midsection, which is the area apple shapes usually try to minimize. Shirts should fit loosely and be solid-colored with simple designs.

Anything that clings to your stomach is a no-no; therefore, shirts with a lot of Lycra are out! You want fabrics that will fall nicely over the curves of your midsection, not make any problem areas stand out.

Apple shapes look good in ribbed fabrics, wrap tops and v-necks --- all of which elongate the upper part of the body, creating a slimming effect. Great accessories contribute to a stylish look, helping to pull it all together.
