But this summer, when I saw nearly every single 25-to-30-year-old in Lower Manhattan wear their Garment-Dyed Shirts to bars, clubs, and concerts, to the skate park and to the movies, it really hit methis isnt just the shirt you dress up in

Best Shirts, Tops, and Knits for the Apple Body Shape Loose Peplum (look for elastic at the waist or soft woven fabric, not constricting) Loose tee (ideally with an apple body suggested neckline) Soft-shaped fabric shirt (open cuffs are ideal) Swing/trapeze top Tunic Soft wrap top ( keep the ties gently to the side) Babydoll or empire waist (with a hem that flares out) Ruffle top ( this doesnt work for everyone) A-line silhouettes Relaxed, boyfriend button-ups Waterfall cardigan Open cardigan Open knits Avoid: Overly structured shirts, corset elements, shirts that taper in at the hem, crop tops, contrast color belt tops, or anything overly bodycon, and patterned knits Jackets for the Apple Body Shape The right jacket can look beautiful on an apple body shape, the V-shape lapel and visual neckline it creates highlights you bust nicely and visually draws the line down towards the ground (instead of horizontally)

Streamlined and classic, the monochromatic minimalism of this edit is enlivened with subtle detail
