It has transcended its initial cool-girl early adopters to become a sartorial choice for women of all shapes, sizes and ages
Recommended styling: Lapel choice: - Peak lapels are ideal, as they complement and accentuate the existing V-shape - Shawl lapels also work well for a softer aesthetic Jacket construction: - Moderate shoulder padding (athletic builds rarely need enhancement) - Strong waist suppression to follow the natural taper - Single-breasted with a low button stance to emphasise the chest Trouser considerations: - Ensure adequate room through the thigh and seat - Tapered leg from knee to ankle prevents a boxy appearance - Mid-rise or high-rise waistband works well with a defined waist Common pitfalls to avoid: - Jackets that are too tight through the back, causing horizontal creases - Trousers that are too slim through the thigh, creating discomfort when seated - Excessive shoulder padding that exaggerates proportions 3.2
