Top 7 Women's Jackets for Autumn 2022
If you want to look as trendy and as fashionable as possible going in to autumn 2022, then you have come to the right place. In this guide, we will share with you what your top choices at John Partridge are, while also sharing guidance on how to choose the best-fitting jacket for your body shape.
How to Choose a Jacket for your Body Shape
A good jacket or coat should consist of three different elements. It should be stylish, warm, and flattering. Different styles of clothing may come and go, but coats are one of the few clothing items that you can pull out year after year. The best thing that you can do when choosing a coat is to make sure that it suits your body type. Making sure that your coat fits you well is just as important as making sure that your shirt or trousers fit you properly. After all, nothing quite compares to a well-fitted coat, and you would be surprised at what a difference it could make to your outfit overall.
What Body Shape Do You Have?
So, what body shape do you have? And how do you make sure that the coat you are choosing is suited to your needs? Take a look below.
Hourglass
If you have this body shape, then your hips and your bust will be the same size. You will also have a clearly defined waist. With this body shape, then ideally, you will want a structured coat that skims nicely past your curves. If you opt for something too boxy, this will work against your style. Belted coats work wonders here as they help you to define your waist and they also give you the chance to wrap up nice and warm. Make sure that you can find a style that ends just below your hips. If you don’t then you will make your hips appear wider and this will stop you from looking as proportionate. Trench coats are ideal here, along with belted wrap coats.
Pear
If you have a pear-shaped body, then your bust and your waist will be narrower than your hips. If possible, you need to look out for styles that accentuate your shoulders. You also want something that will elongate your legs where possible. If you can do this, then you will soon find that it is more than possible for you to draw attention to all of the right places. Avoid shorter styles as they will end above, or at the hips. If possible, opt for something knee-length. Choose a style that has a wide lapel or an interesting collar. Choosing a belted coat will give you the chance to define your waist. A double-breasted coat will work well here as it will add a lot of volume to your torso.
Inverted Triangle
If your shoulders are much broader than your hips, then this will give your torso a much more inverted effect. The balance between your lower and upper body is essential here. You don’t need something that will make your shoulders look bigger than they are, so instead, look out for clean and long lines. Avoid anything with a collar or a lapel. Flared silhouettes are ideal if you want to give the impression that you have curvier hips. A loose open coat will work wonders for you here.
Apple
If your body is an apple shape, then your midsection will be the widest part of your body and your legs will be slimmer. If you have this body shape, then try and opt for a bleed coat that flares out. If you can choose something that draws attention away from your waist, then this will work in your favour. Cocoon coats are great here, along with lined bomber jackets. This style will help you to feel much more confident in your body.
