There's nothing like a jacket to add a touch of rock to an outfit that's too prim or a glamorous note to a look that's too casual. But for the result to be optimal, it's important to follow a few basic principles. The point with the Tortoiseshell fashion experts .

A jacket adapted to your body shape

Wisely chosen, the jacket can be a perfect ally to complete a look or enhance a silhouette. Here are some tips for finding the ideal jacket : 

  • If you are rather curvy opt for a long, flowing or straight jacket which will hide your curves and slim your figure. Avoid puffy or quilted jackets which risk adding volume to your build. Last tip: don't close your jacket as this will only highlight your curves.
  • If you are small forget about long jackets because they will make your figure look shorter. Opt for short jackets and fitted jackets .
  • If you have broad shoulders the paletot jacket is made for you. Its flared shape helps to rebalance the silhouette by hiding overly imposing shoulders.  
  • If you are slim and tall , you can afford anything. So treat yourself!

Choosing the right jacket 

Blazer, perfecto, trench coat, spencer, Harrington ... There is no shortage of jacket models ! But not all are intended for the same use. To shine in the evening and brighten up a little black dress that is too sober, we do not hesitate to put on a fitted jacket decorated with rhinestones, sequins or embroidery. 

To complete a working girl look opt for a fitted suit jacket , plain or printed. Beware of eccentricities that could make you lose all credibility. It is important to respect the company's dress code, even if it means putting your preferences aside a little.

On the other hand, for an evening with friends or a walk in town, let your personality express itself. Denim jacket or perfecto in mid-season, bomber or down jacket in winter, the choice is yours!

Some ideas for looks with a jacket

  • For a chic yet casual look, pair a beige jacket with skinny jeans. Complete the look with a pair of leather pumps. Ideal for the weekend.
  • A black double-breasted blazer paired with flared pants in the same color is ideal for a business meeting.
  • For a lunch with friends, opt for a cape-style blazer that you pair with jeans or a patterned skirt . As for shoes, opt for patent pumps or a pretty pair of heeled sandals.
  • For a ceremony, we opt for a pale pink satin trouser suit . A pair of transparent pumps, some refined jewelry, and that's it!
  • Consider pairing a denim jacket with a light floral dress and a pair of suede ankle boots for an afternoon of shopping.
  • For an urban woman look, wear the jacket over a printed t-shirt and pair it with faded jeans and a pair of sneakers.
