Here's a quiz for you: what's the piece of clothing that can be used for layering and as protection from cold and wind? You are right if you think of jackets.
Jackets are worn as outerwear and make a versatile clothing item that can be worn during winter or spring or autumn. However, there are a lot of differences between a winter jacket and a summer jacket in terms of fabric, length, closure pattern, types, and more. While a winter jacket is typically made from fleece or wool, summer jackets have cotton, chiffon, or any lighter fabric. As far as type is concerned, there are several, from a buttoned-up jacket to a pullover and a hoodie.
With so many jackets available today, the wearers often get confused while styling them. Therefore, we wanted to help with a definitive styling guide for women to look their best in jackets.
How do you get the right fit?
No matter how expensive, a poor-fitting jacket can break down your complete look. Therefore, it is essential to get jackets in the correct size. The first step towards this goal is to consider your body type and try to ensure that the fabric doesn't look lumpy or too tight in any area.
A right-fit jacket usually has its seam lined up directly with the boniest part of your shoulder, offering comfort across the chest and back. The sleeves' length should be slightly down from the wrist to allow easy hand movements. The jacket's length depends mainly on the bottom wear that you're going to wear for an occasion.
Now that we know how to get the right fit jacket. Here are some popular types of jackets to choose from.
