WEAR IT, WORK IT: NEW-SEASON JACKETS Style Ed Laura on making the trends work for you
With the weather becoming a bit more unpredictable, a good cover-up is essential at this time of year. From shorter styles to long lines, finding the perfect option for you is all about focusing on what you want to achieve from your look – whether that’s elongating your frame, showing off your waist or balancing out your shape.
As always, stick to what makes you look and feel good – remember what you want to emphasise and don’t be afraid to show off your figure, as it’s always more flattering than going the other way. Think about proportions, too – if you’re bigger on the top half, keep your jacket more streamlined to balance out and vice versa. Petite? Don’t underestimate how much little tweaks can make your outfit feel totally tailor-made, whether it’s turning up cuffs or shortening a hem by an inch or two.
So, whether you want flatter your figure or flaunt it, I’ve got the hints and tips to make you look and feel amazing.
