Leather Jacket Shopping Numero 2

OK so I promised my long and lean women and my petite women some help in finding a leather jacket. 

Lets start with Jessica Alba, who is very lean and seems to be tall from pictures. There are many pictures of Jessica in leather jackets, but I feel this jacket suits her best. The length of the jacket doesn't make her look any longer, but it adds to a slim waist line and smoothes her look down to an easy and casual vibe. The hint of wrist shows a little skin so the jacket doesn't take over her body and where the jacket is hemmed doesn't cut off any of the length of the leg.


This jacket from Sachin + Babi is being sold for $438. Unlike Jessica's jacket, this jacket has a draping effect which works really well for tall thin women. It gives their bodies some curves and usually hangs really well. Because there is a full length arm I would keep the jacket open and allow some skin to show. We don't want the look to feel stuffy or not allow the jacket to hang in its natural shape.


If you are long and lean and worried you have too much of a boyish figure and want some curves I really like this jacket for you. Its by Anthropologie and is $298


It will provide the curve at the waist you may be looking for and have a great deep v neck that I could seen worn with an button down opened at the neck to provide a little skin to be shown. Very easy and classic for an everyday kind of wear. 

Now onto the petites. I really like the cropped leather jacket on petite women. When you have a short torso, a jacket that hits you just above you hips wont drown you in length. Its cool to add some detail on the sides (like Megan Fox's jacket) or back to provide you with some edge to take away from possibly short legs or add some curve.   


I am loving this jacket from Express for $68.60. It has the cool belt detail around the bottom and the sharp lines around the neck and bust area. The pockets would sit well on a petite women, not looking like they were too high as some coats tend to do. 


Petite women can also get away with hoods on their jackets. Typically women with small torsos can add more embellishments and a hood is a fun way to do so. This jacket from Joie is $798. The jacket is kind of an athletic shape and as long as the added bulk at the bottom wasn't overwhelming, a petite women could rock this jacket well. 



Well I hope I helped you find what you may have been looking for :)
