How to Style Skirts When You Have an Apple Shape

The apple shape shines in skirts that highlight those gorgeous legs while skimming the waist with ease. Think A-line cuts, bias slips, or high-waisted skirts from Ganni or Vince that balance the midsection without clinging. Play with bold prints or asymmetric hems to pull the eye downward or add a crisp white shirt to sharpen the silhouette. With the right styling, you get lift, length, and a hit of confidence for every plan in your calendar.
