Some parts o the United States have bad winters that involve ice, snow, and high winds. In order to survive such harsh temperatures, a woman has to make sure she has a winter coat. Not every coat is made for a woman’s body, but there are tips for her to follow to help her find the perfect winter coat for her body shape.
Coats For An Apple Shape:
Women who have an apple shape are big on top, but have slimmer hips and long legs.
For a woman who is top heavy, a coat with wide shoulders and big buttons can make her upper half appear to be the same size as her lower half.

The Long Coat:
For a woman that is big on top, a coat that is long, which means it goes past the waist to her thighs, can draw the eye down the length of it, and therefore, make her upper half look a lot smaller than it really is.

Coats For A Pear Shape:
Women who are pear shaped are small on top, but tend to have wide hips and shorter legs. The best coat for a woman with this shape to wear is a short coat that stops at her waist.
To also make her lower half of the body look smaller, a woman should choose a coat with a wide collar, which will balance out the proportions of her body.

Coats For The Rectangle Shape:
Women who have rectangle shape bodies are narrow both on top and on bottom. To help a woman with this body shape have more of a feminine shape, the center of the coat shuld be where the eye is drawn to.
Large buttons and large pockets placed around the waist are going to help gibe a woman with a rectangle body a less boyish shape, and give her the appearance of curves that she does not have naturally.

A Coat With Flair:
Rectangle shaped bodies are straight up and down, which can make the body look shapeless.
However, a long coat that has a tight waist, but then flair out at the bottom, can take away that shapeless look and make a woman’s body look more shapely.

Coats For An Hour Glass Figure:
A woman with an hour glass shape has good balance between her top and lower half of her body.
With hour glass figures, a woman can wear either a long or short coat, and even choose one that ties in the middle around her waist.

The V Neck Shaped Coat:
There are winter coats that have a wide V neck shape that goes around the head and stop about halfway down the chest. The V neck is typically decorated with fur or feathers, and the shape will draw the eyes to a woman’s chest.
If a woman has a small chest, and she wants to make her chest look bigger, than the V neck shape is ideal because of the attention it draws to the breast area.
