This cold-proof jacket is made of the brand's special Insuluxe wool and a little cashmere fabric, which is extraordinarily soft to the touch. We like this very much. Although it can keep you warm in the coldest weather of the whole winter, this material is layered, allowing you to tie up and not like marshmallows.

The small part of J.Crew is a gold mine for finding fashionable items, which will neither submerge your frame nor bury you in the fabric. Short people are already familiar with the charm of A-line skirts or dresses. The same concept applies to outerwear. A jacket with a tailored fit on the chest and a slight swing at the lower half—like this simple and feminine style—gave the illusion of length and make people mistakenly think you have to buy a high-end coat.
The down jacket is, well, fluffy. So tracking something that won't turn you into a 5'2" marshmallow is a bit tricky. Our suggestion is to find one that is just above your hips to help lengthen your legs. Or, you can grab this PureWow Chelsea Candelario, the assistant editor of Chelsea Candelario, recently picked and liked its attractive design and fit tailoring. “It has a drawstring hem, which is very suitable for short girls like me,” she said. “In addition, it fits well and is comfortable at the waist.

This tunic coat is both classic and chic, and is guaranteed to be your first choice for years to come. The tightened waist helps to give the illusion of a longer torso, while the wide collar draws the eyes upward, and the shorter cut of the jacket makes the eyes mistakenly think that you have had legs for several days.

In some cases, the double-breasted jacket takes a wider shape, giving your frame a boxy outline, which actually makes you look shorter. On the other hand, this beauty from Estelle is just the opposite. This baby has a tapered midsection with a slightly open skirt to smooth your curves and hug your body in all suitable positions. We also like this selection of low-key, timeless elegance. Just in the middle of the thigh, the hem length is very suitable for our shorter ladies. Not only can it match almost everything in your closet, but it also fits in the office as it is on date night.

Whenever I wear it, I think,'I am not just a mom, I am also a cool mom.'"
If the temperature in the city you call home has a tendency to drop below freezing in winter, then you know that any old coat will never be cut off. This is why we recommend that you buy this heavy-duty parka. It uses a seam-sealed waterproof fabric design, filled with 600 times the bulk of goose down, no matter how cold the weather, it can keep you dry and warm. You may ask, why do we particularly like this option for small people? The drawstring waist that can be tightened helps to make the jacket gradually thinner according to your body shape, and the high and low hem design protrudes above the front knee to modify your smaller frame.
This coat has a thick flannel lining, is waterproof and comfortable, looks and feels good. Below the hips, its charming hemline and lightweight design are thin enough to be layered without risking entering a huge area and choking your smaller frame. Not to mention its retro atmosphere outdoors is very suitable for autumn and winter. Flattering, stylish and seasonal? It sounds like a victory for us.
