Winter is a season that demands you to layer-up with comfort, so that you could carry on with your routine just as usual. For this sweater-weather pair up your garments as per your body type, keeping in mind the occasion or place you are heading to. Here is how you can pick your jacket for this time of the year:
Body types
Hourglass shaped
Soft colours and under-toned prints in dull hues could look pleasant. Plaids and smaller checks are a better option. Since the waistline is your flattering-point, use a thin belt under the bust or on the waist to bring out the best of your curves. Here is how you can get a perfect hourglass figure.
Heavy busted
To ensure that your clothing doesn't make you look bigger, opt for coats or jackets which are straight and long in fit. Light and delicate buttons would appear sleek as compared to loud patterns. Skip wearing a belt under the bust as this would only add to your size and make you look shorter.
Plus size
Plus sizes can be tricky, so look for shorter jackets with a mid-line waist. There should be more of patterns than prints in your selection. Subtle ruffles, full sleeves, rounder necks or a high neck with a simple straight cut could fit fine. Experiment with a face-framing collar, which means the collar is rather broad and takes up most of the shoulder. This would throw much attention onto your face. Here is how you can hide those love handles with smart clothing.
Colours
As for the season, some colours are best suited for jackets or coats. Deeper tones like wine, black, maroon and mustard yellow tend to absorb more heat and will keep you warmer, as suggested by fashion stylist Nelly Wadia.
Styles
You may not have to use heavy jackets or sweaters at all times, a light sweater or waist coat could do just fine. Nelly says, Plenty of styles to try out - trench coats, varsity (sports) jacket, cardigans, sweaters, sweater vests, bomber jackets and blazers are out there. Pick one as per your personality and body type.
Team up
Nelly advises, Keep the blouses/tops dressy and the bottoms minimal with the choice of colours. Or try switching it around and do with prints on the bottom and keep the top minimal. Here is how you can trick your large thighs with the right clothing.
The trick
You may be tempted to pick up chic styles but pay attention to what you don't have in your wardrobe. Look through your clothes and get hold of a style that works well for most of your outfits.
