Thank you so much! 💖

[@mimzyc9949]

I'm not really an apple shape but I do have a big belly. Tucking my shirt just doesn't seem to work. I've tried half tucks and it just seems messy. If my shirt is too long I'll tuck and pull it out to blouse it out some. That is acceptable I think. And I will avoid capris unless I'm exercising 😅

[@19buttercup]

Shoulder pads can really make the apple body look more balanced. I’m a big fan of using shoulder pads! They work. Thx for all the research you put into your index in the description box. Really helpful!

[@StyleWithCathyOver50]

Thank you! 🥰

[@janicelloyd3215]

I love your top. Blue is a good color for you. 😊

Great tips Cathy. I see what you mean by wearing a V-neck top versus a round neck top. Your tips were very helpful. Kindness, Teresa

[@StyleWithCathyOver50]

Thank you Teresa! 💖

[@helenruth5024]

I totally agree with the no tuck advice!

[@deborahguenther3980]

Since you are talking about shoulders….I notice when standing , your palms face backwards. That men’s your shoulders are rotated inward. If you turn palms facing body, then shoulders are in a neutral position. Resulting in better posture.. I am a retired physical therapist, and saw this a lot. No offense, I love your channel

Thanks! That's why I'm here, to represent us apples. 💖

[@amiek9226]

Robin Mccarthy, I totally agree! So many of the KZbin videos that say they’re talking about apple shapes are actually talking about hourglass or pear shapes. Some of the slim fashion experts give really bad advice. One even strapped on a moon bump to demo some of her suggested looks for apple shapes. Not the same at all!! Cathy gets it right. I find the advice she offers really works.

I love your videos and always watch although I'm not a plus size. I'm 58 years old and I can relate to so much of what you say regardless of body type. The older I get the more I want comfort. Any fabrics that itch or bind are a no-go. I love fashion but comfort is a must! Thanks Cathy!

[@fadilahbadra]

I love your videos and watch a lot of them! I did want to point out that if you are short (like me 5'1") and short waisted, the low rise jeans are the only way to go! I wear a size 20. Anything mid waist or high rise causes 1-3 problems: rolls at the waist, cuts off under my girls (and I am big up there!), or the crotch hits way too low! In someone of my height the low rise fit more ike a midrise. Incidentally, I think the additional reason your stripey top looks so good is that it has a slightly curved hemline at the right length. Like you, I prefer this length of top, but the ones that cut straight across are less flattering than a slightly curved hemline. I also think that the curved hemline ones look better untucked (like they're meant to be worn that way). I actually used your link to shop Talbot's I loved it so much!

[@kamloopscruiser874]

Love these, thank you Cathy! You’re so right about the stripes- a thin horizontal is great along with the verticals. Scary thought- I see a lot of pleated front pants lately! I hated them when I was 60 lbs lighter and just 😱

Thanks Cathy! I spend my day in scrubs so when I get the chance to put “real” clothes on, it’s nice to have ones that make you feel good! I still love wearing my denim but found some linen pants and shorts for the summer - can’t wait to wear them!

[@christinerewell9954]

The front tuck looks good with a jacket over. Makes you look better proportioned.

[@kerriefleming6297]

Not if you have an apron belly it looks terrible.

[@lindapartyka3180]

I agree with you about wearing skirts. I prefer the dresses over skirts due to the same reason you described.

I absolutely love your channel.

[@StyleWithCathyOver50]

Thank you so much!

[@critchley999]

Love your channel. Nice to have someone address the "apple" shape x I really wish they would do more elasticated waist trousers/jeans. I don't have a waist but neither do I have a bottom. To fit my waist I have to buy a bigger size jeans and then they're too baggy round the bum. Just a little bit of elastication round the waist and I can get a size smaller and a better fit. I have been lucky to find jeans with a little bit of elastication either at the sides or the back of Jeans but they're so hard to find. I really think manufacturers (here in the UK anyway) are missing a trick here because loads of us are not standard sizes and just that little bit of "give" can make all the difference between a failed shopping trip and a successful one.

[@americafirst9144]

Try the ones at Walmart. They are the Time and Tru Slim Pants. If you are taller than 5'1" they will be 1-4" too short for ankle pants and more like a really long capri.

[@judithstarkman7358]

Re: shapewear. I'm an #appleshape and I love the Wacoal Visual Effects bodysuit. I have it in nude and black. It's not an extreme shaper, but has an underwire bra and just enough smoothing. It's perfect under dresses, or when I just want to feel smooth and shapely.

I am weird! I tried bootcut jeans and wider legged pants. They made me look like a fat stump! Skinny jeans look best on me. I don't have a clue why! I am 5'1", an apple shaped, and about 40 pounds overweight. Everything else you mention has and does work for me. I'll just stick with skinny jeans! New subscriber. Excellent video!

I'm the same. Bootcut and wide leg don't look good on me. I wear straight leg and skinny mostly in the winter. Thanks for subbing and watching. 💖

I have always been told if you’re on the shorter side to wear skinny leg ankle grazes , it works for me .

Great video. I've always wondered why more designers don't do the kind of waist tie featured on the long navy blue dress, where instead of going around the body the ties are on the front seams under the bust. So much more flattering.

Thanks!

[@barbarasnider3788]

Also, an apple body needs a longer jacket to cover that caboose in the back.

I wear Capri pants went its hot. Not fond of cropped. I know I'm short and chubby and I'm happy with myself. I never cared what people think. I don't give a thought about looking taller or thinner.

I really appreciate this compilation of great tips! I’m with you on the no tucking. For awhile I was knotting t-shirts on the side but I feel it looks kind of dated now. I’ve decided to take some of my favourite shirts to the tailor and get them shortened to a length that works just for me. Thanks again for another great video! 😊

One trick, if you find a pant that isn’t as high rise as you would like but looks great on your legs, use a cami with some thickness to them or shape wear in a making color. It tucks your tummy in visually

I just subscribed 🎉. Wow! What an immense amount of work you’ve done putting this together. And, all the links!! You are a Goddess. I’m 5’ 10”. These tips (except for pants) work for me too. Excellent suggestions.

Wow, thank you!

I agree that v necks and lower scoop necklines are much more flattering for women with shorter necks.

I'm so glad I found your channel. Fellow petite apple here. I'm 5"3 with short legs, longer torso, no defined waist and no boobs. Talk about looking pregnant. (When I was still teaching, students would comment about me being pregnant and I would tell them "no, I'm just fat") but with no bust, slender arms and legs I did so look prego. It is hard for me to find blouses/tops. I absolutely can't wear any tops with darts. Anyway, good luck on your health weight loss journey. And keep up the good work providing real clothing solutions for real people! Oh, my age is 64, just FYI.

[@StyleWithCathyOver50]

Welcome! I’m happy that you found my channel. 😊

I find that a narrow V neck is the most flattering. One where the part on top of your shoulders is close to your neck.

[@patricialanthier3162]

I’m so looking forward to going out without a winter coat - it gets bunched up in the car sometimes. I’d love to try a wrap style dress, I like how it looks. I have one maxi skirt and I feel it’s never sitting quite straight. Caught sight of my reflection one day and it was way up in the front 🤦‍♀️😂 Dresses are just more comfortable because they don’t usually need to be adjusted. I use your tips when shopping or putting together an outfit - always so useful! Have a great weekend Cathy 😊

Thanks Patricia! ❤️

Hi, We are a year out according to youtube, so I'm just hoping that you see this. Thank you for this video. I'm not an apple shape. I think I'm an inverted triangle or a rectangle (or possibly a carrot as my body keeps tapering down and I end in quite small shoes) without any padding to sit on. I'm 5'6" and change I think (168 min my money). I do carry a few kg that I don't need, and my body says it doesn't care, because this is the size we're going to be, so I'm over ruled there. That was a lot of Me's and I's, my apologies. Thank you for putting this together, for everyone that needs it. That includes me, too. First thing I like a lot you seems to be a regular person without being an expert, in the the best way possible. You aren't made up to the nines, sitting in your perfectly organized dressing room, perfectly coiffed and in clothes that you have to rob a few banks to afford. You look like real human, thankfully. Thank you also for teaching me things. One being why I don't feel comfortable in some clothes, and I can't say why, and now I realize why I don't like wearing them. That seems to be because they fix a need I have the opposite of. Except about the neck, that is an issue for me too, and now I know it. This video have boosted my morale a lot. I'm not living outside out there in the world a lot, because of medical issues that keeps me on the bed most of the time. I also lost my sole sister to cancer earlier this year. So I've almost given up on having anything new or nice to wear at all. Your video has given me a little shot of "maybe I should actually get myself a new pair of jeans and see about a couple of new t-shirt" -iness that I sorely need. I know that ripped jeans is a thing, but not necessarily for this 60 years old. So thank you for being there at 5 in the morning today, when I sorely needed it. Yours, Ann

Awesome, Cathy! Happy Friday.

I haven't tucked a shirt since I was a teenager, lol. However, I do the pull out the shirt method like you showed and a half tuck. I was told of a trick for those who can't find v-necks that work for them or just have higher neck shirts that they just don't want to get rid of but want to look more flattering on them. Wear those shirts with a longer, pendant type necklace or a statement type necklace that forms a "vee" shape. This way you create the illusion of a v neck to take away the expanse of chest that a higher neck shirt causes. It works best with sleeveless, small cap, or long sleeve shirts. Short and elbow sleeves compete too much with the necklace. I have tried it an was pleasantly surprised with the results. Of course, YMMV.

[@bettyhowatt8167]

Thanks for the great tips! Love the striped top on you!!!

[@StyleWithCathyOver50]

Thanks so much!

[@hollyfink6168]

Something to look at, I needed to go shopping bought many things look into tapered or slim fit, not skinny pants. It’s just how they fit sure fooled me. I tried them all on and learned so much. My sister was with me, she kept saying, it’s to big and she found me the perfect piece’s. Every item I bought I feel so good in.

I am short, fat (40 lbs over) and over 50. No amount of vertical stripes, tall hairdos, or belly hiding pleats or "adding interest" etc will actually fool anyone. I choose neat, clean and comfortable.

[@paulacunniffe4123]

Shapewear underwear on me?... no matter what they promise with those high-waisted ones? They ALWAYS and I mean ALWAYS roll down on me, unless I'm going to stand and do nothing all day. After walking or standing or sitting... I have to escape to the bathroom to get them off, because they're restricting me like a rubber ring used in docking lamb tails. NEVER AGAIN.

[@manonsinclairladyofblairad9675]

Thanks for another great video Cathy. I don't think capri pants are flattering for anyone. I wore them before and I still have them. I might just have them turn into bermudas so they're not wasted.

Thanks Manon! Happy weekend! 💖

[@karenpeck4344]

Yes you should have more than one style of (well-fitting!) bras, particularly if your skin reacts in any way to elastic. The support from your different styles of bras should come from different areas, and a different combination of your shoulders and back.

Ready for spring but we are having a bad storm ythis weekend.

[@StyleWithCathyOver50]

Freezing rain here, where is spring! 😆

[@vickiheath6133]

Thank you for your being able to be so open. I sure don’t like saying I’m fat but I like to look out together. I do however agree with you about feeling good in my clothes. I am 5’5 1/2” and weigh 200lbs. I love wearing leggings so much. Just yesterday I bought myself a pair of really nice fitting jeans. It was hard to spend the money but they fit great. I find that is a very difficult to find a bra that fits. I see all those advertisements, for the most comfortable bra you’ll ever wear a non-me they look like I have on a tube. If you have any suggestions for a really good bra for someone that is a 42C I would love to know about it. One thing I forgot to tell you, I am 68 years old. Most of the time I don’t feel that old.

[@MC-fw5vt]

Love the small print shirts ! The blue print shirt was especially flattering 😍. The linen pants are also really attractive - they were a photo insert I believe. Btw, good insight about wearing proper fitting clothes for increased confidence. For my entire life,I just wore the grubbiest clothes to the gym. I finally wore all these clothes out and bought some trim yoga pants and some high neck tank tops from Athletica (your idea - thank you!!!!! My first time trying this store!). Anyway, I do feel more confident in the gym, although, as you say, it's hard to switch from loose winter wear to slim fit clothes !!!

[@StyleWithCathyOver50]

That's amazing!!! 💖
