A guide to wearing the perfect jacket – Corporate Fashion for Working Women
With the approach of fall/winter it is time to turn to jackets. The entire outfit is completed by the addition of a jacket. However, it is important to find ones that complement and flatter your body-type.
There are some basic things to do while shopping for them. Make sure that the sleeves are slimly stitched. The waist should be nipped so that it gives an instant shape to your curves. Make sure that the sleeves are not too long; the length should be so that it just hits your wrist otherwise it will look ill-fitted.
For people with more specific requirements, there are some other tips to use as well. For the curvy female, the perfect style is a semi-fitted one. Do not indulge in styles with buttoned-up necks or cropped shapes. Single-breasted ones with closure just below the bust are the best for you. For those with a slightly boyish frame, find mid-hip length fitted ones. Do not wear something square jacket or boxy. If you have narrow shoulders, opt for tailored cuts with defined shoulders. Do not wear those with sleeves that start just before your shoulder’s edge. Peaked shoulders add structure. Small sized shoulder pads also look good. Women with broad shoulders should go for longer and unstructured ones. Avoid breast pockets, shoulder details or epaulets. Deep armholes, dropped sleeves, v-necks and small lapels will do wonders. If you are on the shorter side opt for clean, shorter, fitted and cropped ones. Minimalistic detailing and narrow lapels will look good on your frame.
Follow these tips and add charm to your corporate image.
