From leather jackets to trench coats, jackets are a statement piece. If you want to look your best and complement your physique in the best possible way, it’s worth getting familiar with the different types of jackets to see which one works for you.
Besides making a fashion statement, jackets also serve multiple purposes – to keep you warm, protect you from the sun, and shield you from the rain.
If you’re still looking for your perfect jacket, scroll down for a list of the different types of jackets and what they can do for your silhouette.
Denim jackets are casual, cool, and completely versatile. They go with dresses, jeans, gowns, and shirts. Plus, almost anyone can pull them off. Denim jackets also come in a range of colors and designs – white, sleeveless, cropped, and light washed.
For an edgier look, leather jacks are your number one choice. They can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion, plus they suit any body type. You can also play around with leather jackets, pairing them with a classic white t-shirt, jeans, and boots, or with a printed top and bold stilettos. While black may be synonymous with leather jackets, brown, red, camel, and gray are also becoming popular choices.
Puffer jackets are a popular choice for women looking to hide their weight. This is thanks to the jacket’s puffy shape which blurs out what’s underneath.
With their light yet warm material, puffer jackets are great for keeping you warm in the winter months. Some puffers are short to the waist, while others go as long as the knees and sometimes even to the ankles.
Trench coats have long been a classic, especially since we watched Audrey Hepburn grace her camel-coloured trench in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Structured and tied at the waste, trench coats are an elegant type of jacket that can be worn for both casual and formal occasions. You can wear with a T-shirt, dress, jeans, or leggings. They look great all ways.
Because of their fitted design, trench coats are best suited to women looking to emphasize their curves. If you don’t want to draw attention to your body, avoid choosing the trench.
Blazers are typically formal wear, worn for business meetings or nights out. That said, blazers are now available in a range of vibrant colors, cuts, and designs, making them perfectly suitable to wear in a casual setting too. And the best part? They can complement all figures.
Blazers are incredibly versatile, despite their formal origins. You can wear them to the office or work meetings with a white blouse, black trousers, and black shoes, you can pair them with a contrasting top or bra for a little drama, or you can wear them with jeans and t-shirts for a casual cool look.
Overcoats are pretty much a winter version of trench coats. They’re long, stylish, and thick enough to protect you from the cool air and harsh winters. This type of jacket is perfect for any woman looking to stay warm yet glamorous during the winter season. Plus, they generally suit all body types. The only thing they draw attention to is your gorgeous outfit underneath.
Pair it with a stylish scarf, leather gloves, and ankle boots, and you’ve got yourself a super chic winter outfit.
There are so many types of jackets to choose from. Where do you even begin? First, identify the jackets that suit your body type – or all body types. Second, think about what you’re looking for from a jacket. Warmth? Protection? Or simply something to accessorize with? And third, try on a few different designs so you get a feel for what feels and looks good.
