8 Fall Jackets That'll Make You Look Thinner

You know those annoying commercials where a woman prances around in her gorgeous, form-fitting coat? The tagline goes something like, "So many coats, so many choices!" Ugh. (No offense, Burlington Coat Factory.)

I absolutely hated those commercials, not because I thought they were lame and cheesy (they were), but because they're totally misleading. Every single jacket I've ever tried on makes me look like the abominable snowman. So, a warm coat that's actually flattering? Just like the abominable snowman, it simply doesn't exist.

Or so I thought. What changed my mind? This -- the official website of the Abominable Snowman. Just kidding, I'm actually talking about this. My entire perspective changed when I read the guide to finding the perfect jacket for your body type. With these tips, I found a coat that actually fits me. In case you're interested: it's knee length, and it has a belt to cinch in and shape my waist, which is the recommended style for rectangular body shapes, see?

Now that I've found proof there are flattering jackets out there, none of us have any excuse to be walking around looking extra puffy. So, scroll through the gallery to find your perfect jacket, or you can just click directly on your body type below if you're feelin' lazy.
