Find the right Jacket/ Coat for your bodyshape!

I know i've been rambling about winter alot! but I thought since it being a relevant topic for mostly everbody (for those who live in countries summer all year round :p im sorry bare with me - eid posts will be coming soon!) - I may be obliged to share a few tips and ideas with you. However, if you feel there's a relavant topic I should go through - please let me know and comment below :D

So you want to buy a jacket or coat for winter- your stuck for choices, a little picky :p
And you find some jackets that may look nice but just don't look right on you.

Here's some tips on what type of jackets and coats to purchase that's right for your bodyshape :D Remember: All Bodyshape types are amazing - its just how you rock it out!




Hourglass: This type of body shape is very curvy!  You tend to have big busts and a bottom but a small waist - your body is shaped like an 'hourglass'. You should try wearing coats and jackets that are belted, this will give your figure a bit of structure. Cropped Jackets also work for you, the leopard print one above would work amazing with a dress - if your going out to a party. Famous Celebs with an Hourglass figure would be Scarlet Johansson and Kate Winslet

Pear: Being Pear shaped means that you have slightly small shoulders but a heavier bottom. When Choosing the right Coat or Jacket, try ones that emphasise on your shoulders and balance your body shape. The ones above I have chosen have a lot of shoulder detail (like fur or shoulderpads) - this focuses less attention on your bottom half and gives an even shape to it.Some famous celebs that that are pear shaped that I can think of?? Lets say Christina Aguilera, Beyonce and Princess Beatrice

Apple: Apple shaped woman tend to carry weight on their waist. The best types of Coats and Jackets would be those who draw less attention to their waist and even out their body structure. A double breasted Coat would work Fab! However, try to avoid Coats/Jackets that are short and stop at the waist - they don't give you a balance to your shape. V-necks can also be worn, as they add shape to your body - and they give that extra vava-voom! (mind me for sounding like those French designers :p - i love em!) Famous celebs that are apple shaped?? Elizabeth Hurley and Catherine Zeta Jones.

Strawberry: Being strawberry shaped means that you have a bigger bust or shoulders, so you carry more weight on you top half rather than your bottom half. When choosing the right Coat/Jacket - you need one that will balance your shape structure and focusing less on your top half. Choose Coats that flare from the bottom, also avoid double breasted coats/jackets and try looking out for single buttoned ones. Famous Celebs?? Anjelina Jolie

Rectangle: This type of bodyshape is when you have a less curves on you and maybe straight up and down. You will need to look for  Coats/Jackets that give shape to your body and create an illusion of a more fuller curvy figure. Try belted coats and jackets that are either long or finish at the hip - short jackets and coats wont do you justice. Famous Celebs?? Nicole Kidman and Hilary Duff
