Boyfriend Coat
A bright stripe jazzes up the menswear shape of this coat—but the real magic is in its placement: low enough to draw attention away from the hips. Meanwhile, the navy top half plays down a larger bust.
Great for: Lean, busty, pear and petite body types
Coat, Gap, $148. Scarf, J.Crew. Sweater, Apt. 9. Pants, Banana Republic. Bag, Coach. Shoes, Rachel Roy.

Draped Coat
I put this on every body type I could find, and it looked good on all. The secret? The adjustable buckle clasp gives you the exact fit you want—tight, loose, open, or anywhere in between.
Great for: All body types
Coat, Lauren Ralph Lauren, $295. Scarf, Vince Camuto. Dress, Talbots. Clutch, Sondra Roberts. Shoes, Jean-Michel Cazabat.

Bathrobe Coat
Yes, the price tag is higher, but you'll have this classic wool coat forever. And it's packed with splurge-worthy details like slimming side seaming and a back vent that accommodates curves.
Great for: Lean, busty and curvy body types
