Best Jackets and Blazers for a Rectangle Body Shape
Jackets that cinch or add width can create the outline of a waist.
This guide is for the rectangle body shape: bust and hips within 5% of each other, with a waist between 75% and 85% of the wider measurement.
Look for
- Belted trench coats and wrap coats
- Peplum jackets and blazers with a fitted waist
- Cropped jackets that end at the waist
- Jackets with a defined waist seam, such as tweed or bouclé
Skip or adjust
- Straight, longline coats with no waist
- Boxy, oversized blazers that hide the waist
- Long puffer coats with no shaping
