I think it would depend on where the hem of the shirt hits you in front. You could wear it with skinnies. Depending on what kind of apple you are, I think this could be nice with a pair of high waisted flares. If you're an apple, the thing you'd want to be most careful of is that your belly isn't peaking out from under the front of the top, so you just need to make sure the bottoms give ample coverage.
