Women's Fashion Jackets Flatter
|

|
The contemporary eclectic design diversity allows you to find a style that is figure-flattering.
- Avoid horizontal jacket line. A contrasting jacket-skirt combination emphasizes the widest part of the hips and derriere, if the jacket length is unflattering.
- Short jackets look crisp and chic. Be sure slacks or a skirt are cut to conceal unsightly bulges.
- A slightly-longer and women's fashion jacket can flatter figure flaws.
- Slight princess seams gives a feminine silhouette.
- A completely unstructured jacket may look messy on a mature woman. Be sure there is a good quality lining to add body.
- Look for fabric blends with touch of Spandex, especially in cotton or linen jackets. This ensurse a wrinkle-free appearance from morning to night.
- Think in terms of cost-per-wearing, when you consider cost.
A well-chosen jacket will span the seasons. It may be worn under a winter coat and indoors during cold weather. Your jacket becomes an attractive outerwear topper in spring and fall.

Quilted Jacket Is
A Fashion Find
One of the best purchases I've ever made is a black quilted jacket from San Francisco. My friend warned that Mark Twain said the coldest winter he'd ever spent was a summer in San Francisco.
Because Mark Twain was a humorist, I did not take this as a serious meteorological warning. I arrived with a suitcase full of cottons more appropriate for Palm Beach than Half Moon Bay.
Touring the upscale boutiques, I spotted a pricey black quilted jacket that was a tad short-waisted and too dressy.
I jumped at the chance to buy a similar quilted jacket that fit better for a quarter of the price at a discount store.
I love it still.
Keep your eyes open for a quilted jacket to add to your closet.
By the way, a quilted jacket is very warm. Quilted silk jackets have been an item of winter clothing for hundreds of years
as super-chic Chinese clothes.
