What I am Obsessed With: Intelligent Design

When selecting a jacket style to flatter your figure keep the following in mind; an important collar is paramount. The shawl or portrait collar is immensely flattering and draws the viewers eye to your face. A Fichu collar is smaller and may be more flattering for the petite woman or a woman with smaller, more delicate facial features. The longer the jacket the shorter your legs will look so trying to camouflage a wide rear with a long jacket doesn't always payoff. In my opinion a better solution is to wear a beautifully cut trouser that does its best to minimize any difficulty in the hip area. Pairing the pant with a shorter jacket that demands the viewers attention up to the face allows to leg to look its longest and is a better solution.

Jackets should have vertical detailing and should help to create a capital "V" shape in the upper body. Shoulders should be well defined. After the excesses of the 80's we abandoned the shoulder pad and this was a mistake! A moderate shoulder pad is necessary for most women and is faster and cheaper than liposuction in minimizing larger hips!
