Look Your Best

LOOK FOR…
Straight-cut, single-breasted styles, like Naomi Watts's topcoat, which was a wardrobe staple when she was pregnant. Also look for coats with tailored styles or a subtle A-line shape.

AVOID…
Double-breasted styles, anything too fitted at the mid-section, and pocket details near the waist.

DON'T FORGET…
• Try armholes and a natural shoulder to create a slimmer silhouette.
• Go with a mid-hip length or longer.
• Choose coats with simple closures—no oversize buttons or toggles that can pull.
