1, 2 or 3 buttons – what’s the difference?
This is down to individual preference and style; however, there are a few tips that we’d like to share!
For the petite among us, having a 1 button front will accentuate your waist line, however, having 2 or 3 buttons will give a more defined shape around the bust, creating a more fitted and tailored look.
If you are long and lean, maybe going for a 3 button style would help to balance out your body length proportions.
Selecting a single button option will help create a neat and fitted waistline for those of us who have an hourglass shape.
Larger busted ladies will find that a single button jacket elongates the silhouette from neck to waist, drawing attention away from the bust and drawing the eye to the waistline.
Shape of collar and bottom of jacket?
These preferences of shape can change the jacket silhouette – you can view the differences in our Design Room feature.
The square shape gives a more modern look and can appear more slimming; whereas the rounded edge alternative creates a beautiful softness and femininity.
Jacket vents – single or none at all?
Ladies, we’ll let you in to a secret with this one – as your suit is fitted to your size, the vent is really for aesthetics and don’t be put off if you have a curvaceous bottom half!
Pockets or no pockets?
The pockets on our jackets aren’t just for show, they are proper working pockets should you wish to use them. However, pockets will accentuate the area where they are situated – so those with larger waistlines or rounded tummies be warned!
If you are apple, pear or bell shaped, selecting pockets with your jacket will help to achieve a more balance look to the front.
Our pockets are designed to match your choice of collar, lapel and hem shape and the lining fabric on the pocket flaps matches the beautiful body lining that you will have chosen for your jacket and trousers.
