Jackets: cuts and when to choose one over a coat
Jacket or coat
A jacket ends at the waist or hip and leaves the leg line visible, which is why it pairs with wide trousers or a full skirt. A coat continues past the hip and carries the silhouette itself, which is why it pairs with something narrow underneath. Choose the jacket when the bottom half is doing the work.
| Type | Ends at | Pairs with | Fabric |
|---|---|---|---|
| Biker | Waist | Skinny trousers | PU, faux leather |
| Cropped military | Ribs | High-waisted skirt | Twill, brocade |
| Utility | Hip | Cargo, wide leg | Canvas |
| Bolero | Ribs | Gown, dress | Velvet, lace |
Sizing
Jackets are cut close through the shoulder and the Asian sizing bites hardest there. Measure across the shoulders as well as the chest, and if the two measurements point to different sizes, take the larger.
Frequently asked
- What is the difference between a jacket and a coat here?

- What is a bolero?
- A very short open jacket ending at the ribs, worn over a gown or fitted dress.
- Do the jackets run small?
- Yes, and most across the shoulder. Measure shoulder width as well as chest.
