STYLE TIPS

👉 COLOUR

Always choose a colour that suits your skin tone. Think warm vs cool colours, light vs dark colours. Always go in harmony with your own skin. If you have bright eyes and clear skin, go for a shinier fabric. A matte fabric would suit those of us with softer features better.

👉 LENGTH

Here are those ideal length lines for perfect proportions again: – at the hip bone – a hand’s width below the belly button – where your thumbs end when you stand up straight with your arms at your sides – in the middle of your knee

👉 VOLUME

Puffer jackets add volume and can make you look bigger. If you are self-conscious about your upper body, you might feel more comfortable a different type of jacket or even a knit.

👉 BALANCE

The puffer jacket is already making your upper torso look larger than it usually does, so you will need to balance it out with slim-fit pieces in your lower torso. If you are wearing wide-leg pants, go for a shorter jacket.

👉 STITCHING

Pay close attention to the stitching of the jackets available. Straight horizontal lines can make you appear bigger, where angular lines can actually have a slimming effect. Some of the puffer jackets also have a belt or special detail around the waist.
