How can I measure myself to ensure I choose the right jacket size?

Taking accurate measurements before shopping can help you find the right size and ensure your jacket fits comfortably when layered over other pieces. To measure yourself for a jacket:

1. Measure your bust. Wrap a measuring tape around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape level and comfortably snug without pulling tightly.
2. Measure your waist. Measure around the narrowest part of your natural waist, keeping the tape relaxed.
3. Measure your hips. Stand with your feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat.
4. Check your shoulders. Measure across your shoulders from one shoulder point to the other, or use the shoulder fit of a well-fitting jacket as a guide.
5. Measure your sleeve length. With your arm relaxed at your side, measure from your shoulder point to your wrist.

Shoulder seams should align with the natural shoulder line without drooping, while the sleeves should hit just at the wrist or slightly above it. The jacket should also provide enough room through the bust and shoulders to allow comfortable movement when buttoned or zipped.

How can I style a jacket for a professional look?

Whether you have a big presentation coming up or you’re running your own firm, here are a few outfit ideas for your professional look:

• Style a tailored blazer over a polished work dress for a sophisticated office look
• Pair a structured jacket with slim trousers and a refined blouse for a sleek, confident ensemble
• Layer a cropped blazer over a streamlined jumpsuit to create an effortless and sleek look
• Opt for white denim underneath your trench jacket to brighten up your workwear

Complete your outfit with shoes like pumps and heels, and accessories such as belts, structured handbags, classic watches, and simple jewelry. Accessorizing a woman’s blazer jacket for a professional look can add polish and personality to your ensemble.

What are the best materials for women’s jackets?

The best material depends on the season and occasion.

• Cold weather. For coats and other cold-weather layers, look for insulating materials and substantial fabrics that help retain warmth.
• Transitional styles. Lightweight fabrics are ideal for spring and fall. Denim and other casual jackets offer versatile coverage without feeling overly heavy.
• Professional wear. Structured fabrics create polished blazers and dressy jackets that layer neatly over workwear.
• Elevated casual. Suede, leather-inspired fabrics, and refined denim bring texture and sophistication to everyday looks.
• Evening events. Choose refined textures and streamlined silhouettes for ladies' outerwear for formal evening events.
