Jackets

A well fitted jacket is tough to find. The smallest of detail can determine whether a specific style is suitable for your body type or not. But once you figure out what to look for, it will save you endless amounts of time and money. The purpose of a jacket is to add polish to an outfit. Here's how to find one that fits and flatters:

Full Bust

• Choose a shorter style that is fitted, somewhat nipped at the waist and has a deep V-neck. Shorter jackets lengthen legs and the deep V divides the chest. Always buy single-breasted styles with narrow lapels for maximum flattery.
• Avoid boxy styles like double-breasted jackets that make you look square and top heavy. And never buy styles that have patch pockets.

Small Bust

• Best styles include fitted jackets that feature breast pockets, seaming and shirring. Belted styles and styles with scoop necklines are also good options.
• Avoid jackets with dropped sleeves, deep armholes or with too much shaping at the bust.
