Flattering Coats For Your Shape

As the mercury drops, stay warm and look stylish in our favorite celebrity-inspired coats. We took the guesswork out of shopping, seeking out the perfect topper for every body type!

1. CATHERINE MIDDLETON-BOYISH
The statuesque Duchess chose a trim coat topped with an add-on belt. If you share her narrow frame a tailored long coat for women will look equally flattering with or without the extra accessory.

2. ALEXA CHUNG-BOYISH
Alexa Chung amped up her narrow frame by choosing a trench with curve-creating tie belt. Look for military-inspired details like a double-row of buttons, epaulets or a peplum for an hourglass-accentuating (and stylish!) effect.

3. CLAUDIA SCHIFFER-BOYISH
Claudia Schiffer modeled a cozy poncho-style piece that gave the appearance of a fuller figure while keeping her warm. Follow in her footsteps and choose a retro ’70s print for a stylish finish.

4. CHRISTINA HENDRICKS-CURVY
This secret is tailoring! Christina Hendricks chose a perfectly-fitted coat with a belt to show off her legendary shape without obscuring it in extra fabric.

4. SOFIA VERGARA-CURVY
If you have a shape like Sofia Vergara, considering swathing your curves in a nipped-waist women’s trench coat with a bell-shaped skirt. This day-to-night topper made the most of her tiny waist without overemphasizing her famous assets.

5. JENNIFER LOPEZ-CURVY
A full-gored skirt (with fur insets!) accentuated Jennifer Lopez’s ultra-feminine lower half without clinging. Seek out a belted piece to draw all eyes to a small middle.

6. MICHELLE WILLIAMS-PETITE
Michelle Williams opted for a mod womens peacoat with a touch of fur at the neck. If you are on the smaller side, pick a similar overcoat with a knee-length or shorter hem.

7. VANESSA HUDGENS-PETITE
Vanessa Hudgens complemented her diminutive stature with a cocoon coat cut to the knee (anything longer would overwhelm her frame). Seek out a similar design with a lush faux fur collar for a touch of luxe that won’t add bulk to your silhouette.

8. RACHEL ZOE-PETITE
With her tiny frame, Rachel Zoe can really pull off a vintage-inspired plush coat. If you share her slim body type, feel free to bundle up with a big coat, just make sure the sleeves and hem are the appropriate length so that the furry number doesn’t dwarf you.
