The Right Coat for Your Body

Wanted: A Leaner Lower Half

A cocoon shape makes tall, shapely Sarah Walatka, 23, feel snug and protected—there's room to move, marvelous camouflage, and none of the nerve-racking exposure you get with something seriously tight. Because this coat tapers toward the hem and is made of a not-too-thick virgin wool, it won't bulk you up. The mélange tweed works with any number of colors: We put together a cranberry knit dress, brown tights and gold shoes.
