Forum member Christina F. has a lot from there and rocks them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/apple-shape-but-likes-preppy-looks#post-2055317 Fri, 23 Aug 2019 23:18:13 +0000 kkards 2055317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was also going to suggest Talbots. And don’t overlook LLbean...plaid shirts, Oxford button downs, flannels<br /> and preppy sweaters are in there DNA. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/apple-shape-but-likes-preppy-looks#post-2055304 Fri, 23 Aug 2019 21:44:24 +0000 rachylou 2055304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sweaters with welted waists. Twin sets. Pants with a different cut. Do you ever go to Talbots? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/apple-shape-but-likes-preppy-looks#post-2055282 Fri, 23 Aug 2019 18:54:59 +0000 Helena 2055282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Donna, have you tried semi-tucking your tops, to get the tucked effect with a full tuck? You could tuck on the side even, for more tummy coverage. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/apple-shape-but-likes-preppy-looks#post-2055280 Fri, 23 Aug 2019 18:38:40 +0000 Anonymous 2055280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Donna. I love a structured shift on your body type. J.Crew and Banana Republic often have this sort of thing for “work wear” but if they are simple enough, they’re easy to dress down and sometimes they can even be machine washed. A woven, lined fabric is nice because it won’t cling. Shift dresses are usually sleeveless or shortsleeved and cut above the knee so you can’t show off your limbs while glossing over your tummy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/apple-shape-but-likes-preppy-looks#post-2055252 Fri, 23 Aug 2019 15:59:37 +0000 donna 2055252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a size 12 but my lower belly is my biggest problem. I really can’t wear anything tucked into my jeans or pants. My fav store is J Crew but lately every top I look at is either cropped or doesn’t look good without being tucked in. Any apple ladies out there who like a more preppy look? Where do you shop? And what do you wear fro hide a larger tummy when everything else is not bad? </p>
