Outerwear for every shape

SHAPE: Curvy

Style: If you are curvy, you don’t have to cover up your figure — accentuate it! You don’t have to stick with basic black, either, though it does tend to flatter and slim. Go bold with a solid bright color or experiment with stripes; just make sure they are vertical, not horizontal, which adds pounds. Tailored and structured styles that accentuate the body’s natural shape are ideal for curvy women. Choose a jacket that accentuates the waistline, and avoid over-sized or shapeless coats. Try this single-breasted belted jacket by Last Kiss for a mere $27.99 at Overstock.com.
