Are you curvier on the bottom? If so, you want to look for fit-and-flare swing coats, says Rygorsky. These work because they define the waist, while skimming over the hips.

Rygorksy also says pear shapes should look for “knee-length jackets with emphasis on the upper half.” One way to draw interest to the upper half is with hoods, faux fur collars, big buttons, and other fun details.
