Hi all
Don't know if I'm asking for the impossible but know you're the people to ask....
Am looking for a leather/ faux leather jacket for max £100, but it has to be slightly longer length - I'm a pear and hate jackets that finish mid-hip (as so many of them do) - it looks so unflattering on me! I'd be looking for something in a size 12.
TIA ☺️

Go shorter or look at Wallis if in Uk . Faux leather there

You need shorter rather than longer to show your shape . Longer on A pear will stop on your widest part !

So I'm doing it all wrong- I should go shorter than my hips? But then that cuts off at my waist and shows my bigger bottom half... but does that flatter my smaller waist/ top half! I need so much help 🤦‍♀️🤣

I'm an apple and I don't suit short jackets, so I would guess they suit pears better.

Yep fraid so , you need to show that you have definition . A long jacket will jsit make you look big from shoulders down .. embrace your curves !

The middle bit of this if you don't trust me 🤪
