• Jackets and coats for trapezoid

  Jackets that stop at the hip and follow the waist show off the shape without adding bulk.

  Try: Bomber, harrington and denim jackets that end at the belt line.

• Jackets and coats for inverted triangle

  A jacket that avoids extra shoulder bulk and ends at the hip keeps the proportions even.

  Try: Bomber and harrington jackets with a soft shoulder and ribbed hem.

• Jackets and coats for rectangle

  Jackets are where a rectangle shape gains the most: structure, layers and texture add the shape you want.

  Try: Structured jackets with a defined shoulder, such as field, chore and biker jackets.

• Jackets and coats for oval

  Look for jackets with structure at the shoulders that hang straight and end below the widest point.

  Try: Single-breasted overcoats and mac coats that end at mid-thigh.

• Jackets and coats for triangle

  Structured jackets that add width at the shoulders and end below the hip balance the proportions.

  Try: Blazers, field jackets and denim jackets with structure at the shoulder.
