LOOK FOR… Straight or
belted styles, like
America Ferrera's with simple lines that hit near the knee.
AVOID… Flap or patch pockets, high necklines and styles that are too full or too fitted.
DON'T FORGET… Opt for natural-looking shoulder padding.
Use narrow lapels tapered to the waist to create the illusion of height.
Simple, single-breasted coats give a streamlined look.
