Jackets for your body…
Hopefully the Polar Vortex is going away so we can get ready for the “sort of spring” we’re going to have. Here some tips on what jackets to wear for your body type.
If you are Busty:
Stay away from cropped styles, double breasted, and wide or bulky lapels.
Long, single breasted is best for you.
Go with subtle palette.
If you are boy shaped:
Stay away from long, baggy pieces. Your body will get lost.
Yes to Belts! This will differentiate your top from your bottom. Pockets, ruffles and pleats will be on your team.
Snug tailoring, gives the hour-glass illusion.
If you have a rump (pear –like body):
Stay away from long pieces, they will extenuate the widest part of your body, making you look big when you just got nice butt.
Have your pieces lay at the hips.
A-line styles, with jacket unbuttoned and or statement scarf to even things out. Distinguishing bottom from top will even things out as well.
If you are plus size:
Stay away from thick, heavy fabrics. It makes you look stiff.
Loud collar statements can balance things out.
Accentuate those curves with fitted not tight pieces, and avoid too square cuts.
Small prints and patterns are your friends.
Should hit a little lower than hip, not shorter.
Of course all these tips very with parings, and bottom pieces. This is just a small guideline for picking out some jackets. C’mon spring…we miss you!
