Conseil de style pour le Drew-veste
Drew jacket for O-types
Creating vertical lines across the fuller, rounder midriff is recommended for your body shape. If you make the Drew jacket long enough (i.e., definitely to hip height) and don’t use elastic in the waistband, you can really shine in this jacket. See how to easily alter the jacket’s length here.
Pair the Drew jacket with a long, straight dress, straight leg or subtle bootcut trousers or a straight or subtle A-line skirt. Choose the same shade for both top and bottom pieces and make the jacket in a different colour for a nice contrast. That will visually ‘break up’ the upper body.
Choose fabric that gives your upper body the structure it needs but avoid fabrics that are too stiff or overly textured.
Drew jacket for V-types
When it comes to V-types, the shoulders are the body's widest area. That’s why you should go for a dark colour or one that isn’t too vibrant when making the Drew jacket. Pair it with a pair of light-coloured bootcut trousers, such as the Bertha. Alternative: pair the darker jacket with a (lengthened) Mira or Pola dress. Make the dress in a print or a striking colour. This will give your figure balanced proportions.
The fabric you use shouldn’t have too much texture or shouldn’t be textured at all.
Lengthening the jacket to (just past) the hips is recommended. By doing this, you'll shift your centre of gravity further down. Your body shape won't benefit from emphasising your waistline, so you don’t need any elastic for the waistband.
Drew jacket for A-types
As far as cuts go, the Drew jacket isn't really the best choice for your body shape. Make sure that the jacket rests above the widest part of your body, so that your hips don’t look even heavier.
Go with a textured fabric, one with a print, or a light or striking colour. Your upper body could do with a little more attention.
Pair the jacket with wide or flared trousers (Miyu, Peaches or the Bertha trousers) or an A-line skirt in something darker than the jacket’s colour. Alternative: wear the short, light-coloured or vibrant-coloured jacket over the Holly dress in a print.
Drew jacket for H-types
Your straight body shape has two options: either your disguise the waist or you create one. By working with colour contrasts, for example by making the Drew jacket dark and pairing it with a lighter top, you'll create the illusion of a slimmer waistline, since the light colour will draw attention towards the middle of your body. Make the jacket long enough, so that it’s definitely hip length. The shorter the jacket is, the more the focus will shift up, whereas your body shape looks best with tops that ‘elongate’, making your upper body look longer than it really is.
Drew jacket for X- and 8-types
For your body shape, highlighting the waist is an absolute must. So, be sure to make your Drew jacket with an elasticised waistband. No elastic = not flattering!
Pair it with the Anna skirt for an outfit that exudes feminine charm. Roll the sleeves up to attract even more towards your waistline. Your wrists will also be visible, which showcases your lovely feminine curves even more. Don't choose a fabric that’s too busy, so that you don’t overshadow your natural assets. When it comes to your body shape – less is more!
Drew jacket for I-types
Anything that gives you a little more ‘body’ is welcome! That means you should definitely elasticise the Drew jacket’s waistband and pair it with flared trousers or an A-line skirt. Play with colours and patterns to make your figure as interesting as possible.
Be sure to add all the requisite accessories and special accents. For example, roll the sleeves up so that the sleeves of your blouse or top (in a different colour or in a pattern) can be seen. Or wear a bracelet or eye-catching earrings.
