Not so long ago, women wore a jacket solely as a business-style item. The modern single-breasted jacket has undergone serious modifications. From the usual strict garment we have received a universal product.
If earlier it was used only as clothing for office, business meetings, putting on at least blouses or shirts under a jacket, today a single-breasted one can be worn both at a party, a walk, in a restaurant, or at business events.
What is a single-breasted jacket?
A single-breasted jacket is a godsend for business style fans who want to be strict at the same time and keep their image sexy.
The most common single-breasted ones have 1-3 buttons. Moreover, in the collections there are both shortened and elongated variations of this product.
Choosing a single-breasted for your image, be sure to take into account the features of your figure, its type, your height.
If slender girls can easily use almost all types of styles, from fitted to very loose, then chubby beauties are encouraged to choose only a straight cut. Due to this tailoring, you will be able to hide the extra pounds, emphasize the strengths of your figure.
Differences from Double Breasted
A tense struggle for leadership is between single-breasted and double-breasted models of women's jackets. Let's say right away, double-breasted are less universal, since they are more difficult to choose for your own figure.
Both options are similar to each other in cut. But still there is a difference between them, and it is quite noticeable. Double-breasted jackets have an impressive overlap and two rows of buttons at once, while single-breasted overlays are absent, and the buttons are lined up only in one row.
In some cases, two rows may look beneficial for the image, but so far it is the single-breasted variation of the female jacket that holds the leading position.
Given the layers obtained when buttoning a double-breasted coat, an additional volume is created in front, which negatively affects the image of chubby girls. Therefore, the choice of a jacket with two sides has to be approached more carefully. In this component, single-breasted wins seriously.
