“Does this make me look fat?” It’s a question that most women ponder when it comes to their clothing. Flattering clothes are essential to every woman both young and old. But what about a flattering winter coat? When it comes to winter coats, most women are only concerned with keeping warm for a great price. But just like clothing under coats, it’s essential for a woman to have a coat that flatters her shape as well.
For Pear ShapesIf you are sculpted on the top half of your body, but are slightly wider throughout the hips, a double breasted style coat that emphasizes everything from the waist up is perfect.
something with a cinched waist is great
details that draw the eye upward draw less attention to the lower half of the body
allow plenty of room throughout the hips
For Busty FiguresFor some women, squeezing a larger chest into a coat without the gap can be a challenge. The key is to find a solid color that fits snug, rather than constricting.
look for a single breasted coat
trench styles are excellent
try a style that is hip-length or longer
try a slim fit that shows off the waist
For Petite FiguresSome women are slim all the way around. What you don’t want is a coat that is going to swallow such a teeny frame. A coat with a nipped waist is key to not looking like a little girl.
you can never go wrong with a peacoat
a coat with sharp tailoring is great
a color that screams “look at me!!!” will make a major statement against a not-so-major frame
For Plus SizesBeing plus sized does not mean hiding all those curves under a coat. Instead, find a coat with pretty detailed pockets, belts or collars to flatter your body.
dark patterns are definitely the way to go
choose an A-line style
simple is always great
try a coat that doesn’t have bulky material
