Q. I want to get some ideas about semi formal jackets to wear over jeans. I am 5' 2" and am plump - with typical hourglass figure...small waist, big bust/thighs and hips.
-Jackets with Jeans
A. Best options are ones that belt at the waist or help define a waist. Look for jackets that cover just the tops of your hips and are not boxy. Avoid long jackets that will only make you look shorter or that resemble more of an outdoor coat. Since you plan to pair the jacket with jeans, be sure your top underneath isn’t bulky - keep it feminine with a v-neck or scoop neck top that is more flattering for busty girls.
