Let’s face it, California’s winter hasn’t been like most, cold one day, hot the next, therefore our coats have been used quite often these days. The question is, is that coat the correct length for you? Is it flattering to your height and the length of your legs? If you are short or your legs are short, the incorrect length of your coat could be making you look even shorter or that you have shorter legs. A coat should look tailored, as if it were made just for you, and the length plays an important part of this tailored look. A perfect length for short legs or someone short in height is the bottom of the coat should sit right where your leg begins.

Many women like their coats long because it covers the bum, we all want to hide what we don’t like, but for women that weren’t blessed with long legs or that runway model height, covering the bum is causing us to look even shorter. When a coat hits the correct length, it elongates the body and legs, giving the illusion that you are taller with longer legs. So on your next trip shopping for a coat, try different lengths and see what a difference the length of a coat can do for your body type.
