Choosing a women's jacket is not just a matter of trend. The cut, length, and structure play an essential role in balancing the silhouette.
At Trench & Coat, each jacket is designed as a foundational piece of the feminine wardrobe: technical, elegant, and adapted to different body types.
Here is our guide to finding the ideal jacket according to your silhouette.
Understanding your body shape to better choose your jacket
There are generally 4 main body shapes:
-
A-shape body type: rebalance the silhouette by focusing on the upper body. This body type is characterized by hips that are wider than the shoulders,
-
H-shape body type: define the waist without constricting it. This shape has aligned shoulders and hips and an undefined waist.
-
X / 8-shape body type: body types that can wear all cuts. With a defined waist and a balanced silhouette.
-
O-shape body type: highlight the figure without weighing it down. This body type is characterized by generous curves and a rounded silhouette.
If you're interested and want more information, you can find our complete guide explaining each body shape here.
Which jacket for an A-shape body type?
To rebalance the silhouette, favor:
-
Slightly structured shoulders
-
A defined collar
-
A straight or slightly fitted cut
The Canna jacket is ideal: its modern structure draws attention to the upper body and balances proportions due to its contemporary oversized cut. We also recommend our Musa bomber jacket, available in 4 colors this season.
Which jacket for an H-shape body type?
The H-shape silhouette benefits from subtle structuring.
-
Straight cuts
-
Clean lines
-
Details that create verticality
The Musa jacket, with its elegant cut and controlled drape, provides definition without rigidity. To accentuate the waist, we also recommend the Avocatier jacket in quilted navy fabric and the Bovelle jackets in yellow and brown.
Which jacket for an X or 8 body type?
Good news: almost everything suits you. However, favor:
-
Slightly fitted jackets
-
Models that define the waist
Therefore, the Musa jacket naturally highlights the silhouette and the Canna jacket adds a more contemporary touch while respecting the natural balance.

Which jacket for an O-shape body type?
The goal is to lengthen the silhouette and bring fluidity.
-
Straight cuts
-
Supple fabrics
-
Mid-hip or slightly longer lengths
The goal with this body type is to lengthen the silhouette while maintaining comfort and fluidity, without overly accentuating the waist. The Sureau and Bovelle jackets are particularly suitable thanks to their straight and structured cut, which creates an elegant vertical line without adding superfluous volume. Their clean drape, combined with light and technical materials, helps define the silhouette without constraining it. The result: a harmonious, modern, and comfortable look, ideal for subtly enhancing curves.

Why is the cut essential in spring?
In spring, the jacket becomes the central piece of the silhouette. It replaces the winter coat and immediately structures the look. Choosing the right jacket according to your body shape allows you to optimize your silhouette, gain confidence, and invest in a durable piece.
At Trench & Coat, our jackets are designed as technical and timeless essentials, crafted to accompany all women.
