Smooth transition – which coat and jacket length is right for me?

Which coat suits me?

Each of us has been in the same situation at least once: You see a beautiful coat in a photo, order it and are disappointed to find that you look more like an amateur detective in it than a fashion-conscious It girl. But luckily that can be avoided! If you know exactly which details you should pay attention to with your figure, you will always choose the perfect coat model .

Wide hips or larger waist circumference
Do you have a slim upper body, a small waist and lots of hip gold? Than are A-line coats the first choice for your figure. This is the best way to showcase your silhouette. Basically every trench coat or wrap coat has an A-shape. You should definitely pay attention to your size when choosing your coat : If you are smaller, choose midi or short coats so that the coat doesn't swallow you up. If you are taller, the maxi length will suit you a little more than short coats, which can quickly appear disproportionate.

Broad shoulders and large bust

Are you having trouble finding a suitable coat because you have a larger bust or pronounced shoulders? This challenge can be easily solved with any coat with a V-neck and lapels: the V-shape in the chest area visually stretches the upper body and does not add any extra bulk. However, oversized shawl collars or shoulder applications are less advantageous. Slightly flared and egg-shaped models are ideal as a coat shape, as they visually balance out the Y-figure thanks to the volume at the waist and hips.

Androgynous guy

Outsiders often believe that androgynous women can wear anything. But also being androgynous, that is a straight H-figure , brings with it some styling challenges. Androgynous figure types - women with hips, waist and shoulders of approximately the same width - are basically suitable for almost every coat cut, but oversized coats for example, can quickly look misshapen. Sporty and straight models as well as fitted or egg-shaped ones flatter you. And sporty types can also go bold when it comes to pattern and color: everything is allowed, from a faux fur coat to color blocking.
