Tailored Jacket: An Essential Clothing Item

This is the perfect piece to wear with tailored pants as a suit for work; to smarten up your jeans; or with a skirt or over a dress.

The best jacket shape should follow the silhouette of your body, enhancing the hourglass shape of the waist.

It is so important that you get the jacket length right for your body. For the classic length, stand in front of a mirror and put your arms next to the side of your body — the jacket should end at your finger tips. If you are petite, a jacket that ends in your waist is better — but avoid this shorter length if you have a fuller bust and tummy because it will highlight these areas.
