TAILORED JACKETS
Tailored Jackets: Learn How to Find the One For You!
 | | The runways have provided us with the many different looks of tailored coats that consist of broad shoulders, bright designs and some "over the top" looks. When it comes to jackets this season, we have really seen it all—colors, tweed, wool—but how do you choose the one that is right for you? If you feel fabulous in it, then you know that you have found the “one.” Here are some tips on how to find the jacket that works for you. | |
TAILORED JACKETS HOW TO: Belted Waist
| A coat that offers a belted or cinched waist is perfect for the ultimate feminine woman. Belted waist coats or jackets give you a waist, which is sometimes hard to achieve with bulkier coats. Get a coat with a belted waist to instantly slim down your mid section and show of those curves! Coats or jackets with a belted waist are great for any woman who wants to have the hourglass effect, giving emphasis to the waist. For a sexy, stunning look, a cinched waist coat is always the right way to go. |  |

TAILORED JACKETS HOW TO: Broad Shoulders
| Broad shoulders are definitely a statement. Wearing a coat with large shoulders allows women to feel a sense of empowerment and confidence. Although there is something empowering about these kinds of jackets, they may not look great on every shape and size. Women who are tall look great in broad shoulder coats because they look proportional, however, petite women may look as though the shoulders are taking over and drowning them out because of their small stature. |  |

TAILORED JACKETS HOW TO: Colors and Patterns
| When it comes to picking out the right color for a coat, it may seem overwhelming at first. Many of us love the look of patterns or fun colors but are afraid to get them on a piece of clothing that we wear with so many different outfits. The fear of the coat not matching our clothes, shoes or purse can sometimes discourage a lot of us from buying any color besides something neutral. While neutral colors have the luxury of matching with anything and everything and perhaps also provide us with a longer time span, there is nothing wrong with purchasing a little color. |  |
Wear a coat that you feel not only comfortable in, but one that you feel overall fabulous in! Get a jacket that makes you feel sexy and one that you know you will wear all winter long. The winter months can be drab, but your coat sure doesn’t have to be!
