Winter Coat for Ruler Shape

A coat that’s nipped at the waist is a must for Rulers. A defined middle will provide the illusion of curves where there aren’t any—perfect for your straight body. Look for textured fabrics like bouclé or tweed, which will provide a little extra padding, as well as embellishments such as pleats and pockets to help fill out your frame. You can also pull off patterned outerwear since you have the good fortune of being able to get away with a slightly bulkier look. Accessorize this wooly warmer with faux fur earmuffs and knit arm warmers.
