Any recommendations for winter jackets/coats for short plus sized women?

I struggle to find jackets that compliment my body type i am 5 feet and plus sized, tips? Most jackets are longer than they should be on me and i basically look like a walking garbage bag half the time.

Yo girl, I feel you on the struggle with winter jackets when you're short and curvy. Here are some tips:

- Look for jacket styles labeled as "petite" or made for shorter torsos. Brands like NYDJ and Unique 21 sometimes have good options.

- Belted styles help cinch your waist and define your shape. Faux leather or quilted jackets often have this look.

- Puffer jackets are mega warm and hit right at the hips for most. North Face and Columbia have some quality ones.

- Sherpa and teddy fabrics are super cozy and blur any bulges. Try ones with hoods too.

- Faux fur trimmed jackets look high fashion and elegant. Asos Design has cute budget options.

- Peacoats always flatter curves - look for waist emphasizing belts. Land's End makes vintage-y nice ones.

- Oversize isn't your friend - fit should be fitted not roomy. Tailored cuts define you better.

Hope this gives you some leads, girl! Most importantly feel sexy and rock what you love. You're smokin' no matter the jacket.

Haven’t you tried petite? The arms and overall length is shorter and ideal for those 5’3 and under.
