The Perfect Jacket

Try to avoid anything double-breasted and skip any styles that add extra bulk on top. Instead, choose streamlined fits that will elongate your shape. Look for a nipped-in waist, too, giving just the right balance to the bust and hips. Don't get frustrated if you can't find the blazer that covers all these bases — according to Paster, tailoring is a major for women with a larger chest. Find a good one, and keep that number on speed dial.
