Choosing a Winter Coat

Sadly, winter is approaching and one of the items we will wear a lot over the next few months is our winter coat.  As well as choosing a coat which suits your colouring, it should also suit your bodyshape & style personality. 

The best buy is a coat in a neutral colour so you can revamp it each winter with coloured scarves / brooches.  A brightly coloured / patterned coat may get you lots of compliments on its' first outing but people tend to remember it. 

When it comes to bodyshape, most importantly, if you have a waist show it off in a fitted style.  Wearing the wrong shape can add 10lbs to the wearer.

If you have a large bust, single-breasted will always look better on you:

If you are petite, under 5ft3, a shorter coat will suit give the illusion of more height:

Whereas a petite lady would look swamped in a long coat like this:

(Cream coat, Planet, £299)

The Herringbone trend is perfect for those with clear & cool colouring and Classic style personalities:

Although Dramatic / Creative style personalities like to wear coats that are that little bit different, this style should be avoided for anyone with a short neck:

As your winter coat will hide all the other gorgeous clothes you are wearing underneath it must suit you 100%.  If you struggle finding a winter coat then it's time you booked a style consultation to help you find out what exactly suits you and where you can find it!
