Coats That Flatter Your Figure

ShareTweet

Obviously a good coat is one that keeps you warm, but a GREAT coat is one that also flatters your figure. The strategy for shopping for coats is pretty much the same as shopping for dresses. Each body shape requires a different coat silhouette so that you complement your figure and not add girth. Looking bulky and boxy should not be a side effect of protecting yourself from the cold. So use the tips below to find the perfect style of coat to flatter your figure.

Plus Size
A plus size woman should not aim to hide her figure beneath an oversize coat. Doing so will merely make her look bigger. Rule number one for plus size women: wear a coat in your true size. Don’t size up. Rule number two: shop for a coat that is fitted and sleek. And look for a coat with an eye-catching detail, such as a ruffle, large lapels or a shawl collar.

Petite
If you’re under 5′ 4″ (like I am), you’ll want to stick with coats that hit above the knee. Anything longer than that will simply swallow you up. Refrain from lots of details and large lapels. Keep the look sleek.

Curvy
A belted coat will define your waistline, giving you that ideal bombshell figure. Experiment with prints and bright colors.

Busty
The wrong style of coat can make a D-cup woman feel like a balloon. To minimize your bust line, go with a military-type of coat. Focus on button details and a double breast silhouette.
