The first command of the jacket? The right length only highlights when combined with the right cut:it's about enhancing you, not hiding you! The length of a jacket is inseparable from the material or the details, each influencing the silhouette of the model. For example ? The longer a jacket is, the more it should be adjusted to avoid the bag effect... Similarly, the longer it is, the less a zip closure is recommended:it would tend to pull.
It only takes a few poorly thought out details to give the impression of a wobbly length. Out of the question for the jacket! Above all, remember to control the length of the sleeves:a balanced silhouette in a jacket requires sleeves that are neither too long nor too short, which cover the wrist but not the fingers. Otherwise, prefer sleeves that are too long and have them altered. Also watch the finishes of the hem. If the jacket is lined, check that the lining does not pull.
Small size, short jacket! If you want to elongate your silhouette as much as possible, bet on a model at the waist or grazing the top of the hips, depending on the occasion. Avoid, on the other hand, jackets in the middle of the buttocks, which cut and pack the silhouette. The principle also applies to overlays:avoid shirts or vests that protrude from the jacket and cut the line. Last secret? Take the opportunity to choose a fitted jacket, in sober colors, the optical effect will save you a few centimeters. You are small, and you live it very well? Stick to short jackets, but dare the colors!
You are tall, all jacket lengths suit you... and many women envy you! Take the opportunity to dare what the little ones prefer to avoid:three-quarter length, belted models that cut the silhouette and contrasting colors. By the way, play on the quilted and topstitched details of the leather jacket, easier to wear with a slender silhouette. On the other hand, if you are tall and muscular, avoid the square effect of the perfecto. And always watch the length of the sleeves! If these are still too short, consider three-quarter sleeves, or have a sweater stick out under your jacket.
Do you assume your curves? Accentuate your curves with fitted and short jackets, to better emphasize the glamorous effect! If your shapes bother you, on the other hand, prefer models that cover the hips, or even the buttocks, closer to jackets. Be careful, there is no question of choosing a jacket that is too big! Take the time to try it on and move around, comfort is essential. If you opt for length, opt for tone-on-tone belted jackets, which mark the waist and refine the silhouette.
