Jackets for rectangular body types

Looking to add some curves to your boyish build? It’s simple. Look for a jacket that cinches in at the waist. The good news? Since most coats are bulky, many try to add some type of waist-enhancing feature to create shape.

If you have a rectangular body type, Rygorsky suggests buying a coat with a drawstring waist. “You want to create the illusion of curves by wearing a jacket that nips in at the waistline,” she says. Another great tip: Find a jacket that plays up your favorite asset. For example, a jacket with ruffles can highlight your chest area, while large lower pockets can add interest to your hips. These details also add dimension to your rectangular shape.
