Hi
I want a nice jacket to wear with a dress. I've already got a denim jacket.
This style but more of a leopard print....

I've got this dress too...

So I'm about 5.10. Age 50.
Size 16. 34 H.
I've ordered a faux leather biker jacket but it made me look big and boxey across my chest and shoulders.

I have worn this coat during winter...

I don't know whether I need a fitted cropped jkt?

Please post me some suggestions. Thank you! Flowers

If the silhouette of the jean jacket suits you, look for a similar shape in another material. I have a cream linen 'jean' jacket that I wear a lot in the summer.

Zara has this cropped bomber jacket. https://www.zara.com/ca/en/textured-weave-bomber-jacket-p03046029.html?v1=317782478&v2=2352724

Since you are taller and maybe broader through the bust and shoulder, maybe something with a belt, like this, although the pockets on the chest might make you look bigger.

good luck. I know a lot of the jackets this year are the Chanel-style boxy type, but they don't suit every body.

Thank you for your advice. I like the first zara one Flowers. I have found a couple of lovely jackets but they don't do them in a 16

The first bomber is lovely.

I bought a maxmara the cube jacket recently and the lining is all unravelling. It was pretty expensive so I am very disappointed. I think the coat will be unwearable soon
