    The Perfect Coats to Flatter EVERY Body

    By Gina Marinelli, Illustrated by Gabriela Alford, Refinery29
    Our cold-weather dressing strategy is simple: Stay warm, look chic. And, while we never want to sacrifice our silhouette for the sake of a toasty coverall, we admit it can be daunting to find a trusty topper that actually flatters your shape. Until now. In an endless sea of outerwear, we narrowed down the options to find the fits that truly complement each and every frame. The best part? The season's most-loved trends - military, cocoon shapes, and car coats - also happen to be some of the most flattering. Old Man Winter, bring it on.

      Short Legs - Maybe we don't all think about our legs when it comes to coats, but if yours tend to be on the short side, there is a trick to lengthening those gams with a topper. Choose a piece that's covers your hips and has a belt that ties above your natural waist. Ta da! An instantly higher waist begets instantly longer legs.

      Dorothy Perkins Natural Texture Frock Coat, $119, available at Dorothy Perkins.
