Which coat to choose with an H-shaped morphology?
An H-shaped silhouette results in a rectilinear morphology.
Translation: your shoulders and hips are aligned, and your waist is not marked.
What to do in these cases?
Rather wear open coats if you are not too cautious or oversize to give a feeling of thickness.
The belt will not be useful, as it serves to mark the waist.
Choose the right coat.
Which coat to choose for a small body type?
Forget the oversized effect that tends to compress your silhouette.
Or if you really want to, prefer a short coat that you can mark at the waist.
Long coats, on the other hand, can lengthen your size as long as you opt for a fitted model.
When considering which coat to choose for which body type, keep in mind that you are choosing above all a coat for yourself. Just remember the outline and do the rest for you.
