Straight coat vs. double-breasted coat: which cut best suits each silhouette?
With the arrival of cold temperatures, the coat becomes the star item in your wardrobe. But not all cuts look the same on all bodies. 💁♀️ Choosing between a straight-cut or double-breasted coat can make the difference between a flattering look and one that doesn't enhance your silhouette.
What is a straight coat?
The straight coat is a clean-cut garment with simple lines and a vertical drape. It doesn't accentuate the waist and tends to have a looser fit, making it a versatile and timeless option. 🧥
This type of coat is perfect for:
- Tall or thin women
- Rectangular silhouettes that seek to maintain balance
- Minimalist and modern styles
Because it doesn't fit closely to the body, the straight coat creates a more elongated silhouette, especially if chosen in dark or neutral colors. It's also ideal for pairing with sophisticated, urban looks.
What is a double-breasted coat?
The double-breasted coat, also known as a double-breasted coat, has wide lapels and a double row of buttons. It tends to fit more closely to the figure, especially around the waist, creating a very flattering hourglass effect.
This type of coat is perfect for:
- Women with a defined waist or curvy figure
- Hourglass or inverted triangle silhouettes
- More elegant and feminine styles
Thanks to its structure, the double-breasted coat adds volume to the top and highlights the waist, balancing the shoulders and hips. It's an excellent choice for formal occasions or to wear over fitted dresses.
What cut suits you best according to your silhouette?
When choosing between a straight-cut or double-breasted coat, it's best to identify your body type. Here's a quick guide based on your silhouette:
Rectangular silhouette
⭐ Ideal option: Straight coat This cut enhances the verticality of your body without adding unnecessary bulk. For a more flattering look, opt for details like long lapels or vibrant colors.
Hourglass silhouette
🔥 Ideal option: Double-breasted coat This design emphasizes your waist and naturally balances your curves. Choose belted styles for extra definition.
Inverted triangle silhouette
💡 Ideal option: Double-breasted coat By adding volume to the lower area and cinching the waist, it visually harmonizes your figure. Look for styles with moderate lapels and pocket details.
Triangle or pear silhouette
👌 Ideal option: Straight coat A cleaner silhouette helps minimize the emphasis on your hips. If you want to slim down your look even further, opt for darker shades and below-the-hip length.
Oval silhouette
💯 Ideal option: Straight coat This cut visually lengthens and stylizes the figure. Choose lightweight fabrics and avoid belts or fasteners that emphasize the abdominal area.
