What to Wear: As an apple, you’re typically a little rounder through your torso, and sometimes have heavier upper arms and thighs. But there are plenty of options in store for these easy-to-hide figure flaws. Look for details that take the attention away from your middle and move it up to your neckline and face, or downwards to your great legs.

Where To Shop: While some stores offer specialty sizes, such as petite and plus, they generally don’t offer fashions for specific body types. That’s why it’s important to know which styles are best for an apple-shaped body. So read on to discover the latest fashion must-haves and wardrobe essentials for achieving apple appeal. Then head to your neighbourhood Cadillac Fairview shopping centre to unleash your style!

When to skimp and when to splurge: Invest in the basics. Separates you can easily mix-and-match classic blouses, tailored jackets, as well as grey or black skirts and trousers should be the foundation of your wardrobe. When shopping for new separates, make sure they’ll go with a few pieces that are already in your closet. Then show off your personal sense of style with the accessories. Well-priced costume jewelry, such as a stunning statement necklace, can add a rich feeling – without paying a rich price – to any outfit, even a basic black suit.

With the right choices, you can look like a million dollars – regardless of your budget!
