The Cover Up
When you have feminine curves, you want to streamline your silhouette with a longline jacket that cuts just below the hips. Divert the attention from your lower body by adding a pretty scarf or detailed top. A statement necklace is also another trick to do it. Opt for pieces that instantly cinch you in the waist and skim over your curves, giving you a flattering finish.
Make It Your Own
Sleek V-shape necklines will compliment a larger bust, while stripes and patterns will balance out your bust, too. Go for clean styles and avoid ruffles at all cost. A lager bust can make you look boxy, so define your waist by adding a belt or tucking-in separates. You can also wear a jumper underneath as your base layer. This style also perfectly accommodates the hourglass figure.

The Perfect Jacket For Your Body Type
A cropped jacket works well for a tall and lean frame or the apple shape, which makes your waist appear slim and defined. This smart investment will get you layering like a pro. For the pear shape, a double breast coat will work wonders for you, balancing out heavy hips.
