Short in length, Long in Body Benefits: Short Coats for Men

Every fashion-forward man needs a polished short coat to accommodate his dapper style. Keeping in mind that some jackets fit everyone differently, it’s best to find a short coat that suits your shape.

Whether your have broad shoulders and a narrow waist or vice versa, we’ll show you which short coats are best for your build.

Trapezoid

Built with broad shoulders and hips, this is a balanced shape that is relatively easy to dress. You’ll find that most short coat cuts are ideal for your frame, also known as the trapezoid body shape. Opt for a short coat that makes you the most comfortable and that best represents your style.

Inverted Triangle

Men with more athletic builds tend to have an inverted triangle shape with broad shoulders and a slim waist. If this describes you, a double-breasted short coat is the way to go. This piece will highlight your chest, without expanding your already broad shoulders, to create a more balanced look.

Rectangle

If you have a rectangular shape in which your shoulders align with your waist, avoid double-breasted short coats as they’ll only reinforce the boxy build. Opt for a short coat with padding to widen your shoulders. Just make sure that the bottom of the coat slims out as towards the hem. Try a belted trench that narrows the waist and adds definition to your body.

Triangle

This particular build features narrower shoulders and a larger waist. Broadening the shoulders with a more structured jacket while slimming out the waist is the best way to dress up this shape. To achieve this look, opt for a single-breasted short coat that streamlines the body.

There’s a coat out there for every stylish man. Just find the one that makes you look your very best.
