The best coats for apple shapes

Apple shapes: Apple shape
Apple shapes are rounder with a less defined waist, so find clothes that show off your legs: tunic or shift-style dresses, blouson tops and narrow-leg, ankle-length trousers. Ruched and gathered tops conceal the tummy, as do dresses with a low slung waist. Empire line dresses and tops will hide any flabby bits.
