The correct fit looks and feels good. Fits can be tailored, fluid, or oversized. Opt for a roomier tailored fit to feel less constricted when you stride and drive. Going too oversized gets in the way of life and looks like you’re wearing someone’s else’s clothes. 

Lined jackets and coats can be altered to fit. It’s expensive but can be worth it. Knee-length coats work over most outfits. Side-entry pockets should be in the right place if you use them, and belts should be in the right position on your torso.

Jackets and coats must close properly for insulation, but can be left open for ease, comfort, and to showcase outfit layering detail. Open outerwear also creates a vertical line that draws the eye up and down, elongating and streamlining the silhouette.
