Tips for Buying Women’s Outerwear
Nothing does more to accentuate your look than good outerwear. Be it jackets, coats or sweaters, the right choices don’t just keep you warm, they take you from work wear to evening wear and casual to formal in an instant. An increasing variety of options are available in terms of style, material and colors, so finding something that gets the balance between your sense of style and your budget right is a challenge to relish. By keeping a few pointers in mind, however, you can build a coat closet that’s both fabulous and functional.
For starters, understand your body type and play up its strengths. Pear-shaped women, for instance, can opt for jackets or coats with higher waistlines that end at the hips. Those with petite figures can go for shorter jackets that have well-defined waistlines. Apart from the style options you need to pick from, there are a few other considerations you shouldn’t miss when buying online. A crucial thing to remember is the size factor. Depending on the jacket style and purpose, you might want to wear it a bit loose and casual, or fitted and formal, so measure yourself accordingly. In either case, refer to that particular product’s size guide while buying since all brands vary in size. Since it is better to layer to adapt to the temperature changes, account for the tops you’ll be wearing underneath when picking your size in outerwear. It’s also great to know one or two brands that seem tailored for you; since they follow the same size chart, chances are, their new collection will also look great on you.
For the winter, you can opt for a cozy down-filled jacket for everyday wear and an elegant wool coat for evenings or tweed for formals, both of which don’t look as bulky as down-filled jackets, but provide great protection nonetheless. For the spring and summer, you can pick trench coats for rainy days, denim jacket for daywear and other jackets and blazers in materials such as cotton and lighter wools. Whatever your choice, check the material and the fabric content when buying online to understand how warm it is and gauge for factors such as creases, something you’ll see in materials like linen that are more suited for casuals. Also check the lining, for it reflects the coat’s quality and poor lining means a shorter life for jackets. You’ll have a lot of choice when it comes to the material of the lining, with options such as fleece, thinsulate and wool, so pick according to the season you’re buying for. Thinsulate is generally a great option for colder weather, for that extra bit of protection.
Other factors you should look into are the weight of the jacket and the wash care instructions. If it’s dry clean only, that means an additional expense, but something worth investing in to make them last longer. However, this might not be something you’d like to do for your regular wear spring jackets in materials like cotton, in those cases, garments that are machine washable are more practical. The weight of the jacket also speaks of the warmth it will provide, so go for heavier ones for winter and light picks for spring.
When it comes to pricing, you’ll find jackets in every range. Depending on how often you plan on using yours, or how many seasons you’d like to wear it for, make your choices. This is one of the biggest spends clothing-wise, and something you’ll be wearing for a major part of the year, so go for a classic, good quality choice even if it means spending a bit more. If, on the other hand, you like staying on top of trends, go for the season’s favorite but keep in mind it’ll probably be out next year and spend accordingly. As always, check the shipping and return policy for the brand you’re buying, to be on the safe side.
