We Love Jackets

Hi! I need your help once again!

I wear jackets every day to work and even on the train etc. I have 2 knitted jackets and one more casual/sporty jacket; however , for certain clothes, like smart casual /more girly or dressy clothes, I am not sure which jacket to wear. I prefer something that has no collar, because it can look very formal and stiff, and also because I have a lot of blazers already.

For your comment on my previous questions about my work uniform: “There are plenty of short trenches, pea coats, and flared jackets that will look great instead.” I am not sure that with my petite height and wide shoulders, a flared jacket would be good. I want to create a long, lean look. I notice there is a trend to incorporate the wide belts with the jacket too, but for convenience, I prefer not to put a belt over my jacket, since I have to put on and take off the jacket repeatedly.

I’d appreciate if you could give some images as illustration. Thank you.



How lucky you are to be able to wear a jacket every day! Jackets are the most flattering items made, and there are plenty of styles for you. Be sure to choose a petite jacket, and when you do, remember that the shoulder fit is the key: shoulders that don't fit will ruin the flattering effect.

Here's a jacket for the girly outfit: With Ruffles and one with a Classic Look
Here's Collarless with texture.

And, for a very lengthening effect, try
a Monochrome look. For this one, I'd add red, and an animal print, for the bag/shoes.
