2011 Winter Fashion Guide – The Tailored Jacket
The Tailored Jacket
There are a lot of tailored pieces around this season which is great when you have a body shape that does not require extra bulk with unstructured pieces. There are still unstructured pieces around this season but they are not as predominant as in they have been in the past few seasons. That is fashion, there will always be some styles on offer that are more of a distraction than an attraction. At least there is something for every body shape this season and if you find that you can’t find that perfect piece then you may be looking in the wrong store or at the wrong label.
Back to the Tailored Jacket, there are a few things to consider when choosing a tailored jacket. Look at the length of the jacket, look at the shape of the jacket regarding double breasted or single breasted, the type of collar on the jacket, the detail on the jacket (pockets, ruffles, pleats etc) and lastly the fabric and colour. All of these factors are important when choosing a tailored jacket before you take it into the change room. Consider these points versus your current body shape and you will save endless time and heartache in the change room. Once you know how to compare styles to your body shape, shopping becomes quicker, easier, cheaper and more enjoyable.
