Sale Shopping Tips for Apple Shapes
Know Your Measurements
Sale items often have limited returns, so know your exact measurements before ordering.
Prioritise Quality Over Quantity
One well-made Karen Millen dress at 70% off is better than three fast-fashion pieces that won't last.
Check the Fabric Composition
Look for pieces with structure—ponte, compact stretch, and bandage fabrics hold their shape and flatter apple figures.
Size Up in Bandage Styles
Karen Millen bandage pieces run slightly small. If between sizes, go up.
Final Thoughts
Winter sales are the perfect time to invest in quality pieces that will serve your wardrobe for years. Focus on structured dresses, elongating coats, and tailored separates that create beautiful silhouettes.
Remember: The best sale purchase is one you'll wear repeatedly. Choose pieces that make you feel confident every time you put them on.
