Looking for the perfect cold weather coat? Step away from the silhouette-swamping puffers and flatter your figure with our round-up of shape-enhancing outerwear.
- Banana<p> Work some hourglass allure in this contrast texture trench by M&S. The wide lapels and double-breasted style will create welcome volume up top, whilst the waist-cinching belt and side pockets should give the illusion of curves.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.marksandspencer.com/Limited-Collection-Double-Breasted-Belted/dp/B008A2ZIO8 ">Get the M&S Contrast Tweed Trench now for £89</a></p>
- Plus-size<p> Simple tapered styles are the most flattering - busy prints and chunky padded outerwear won't do your curves any favours. This elegant cashmere-mix coat in gorgeous lilac is ideal for your shape. The A-line style camouflages any lumps and bumps, streamlining the silhouette.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://aolshopping.aol.co.uk/search_getprod.php/masterid=1032009836/search=duster+coat">Get the Simply Be Duster Coat now for £137.99</a></p>
- Hourglass<p> Maximise your curves and showcase your svelte waist in a belted trench that tapers out at the waist - stay away from unstructured swing styles or any cut that may hide your midriff. This full-skirt camel coat in toasty wool ticks all the boxes.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://aolshopping.aol.co.uk/search_getprod.php/masterid=1030071427/search=belted+coat+wool ">Get the Mango Belted Coat now for £134.99</a></p>
- Small bust<p> This season's statement faux fur collars are perfect for you - they add fullness up top, hinting at a more ample bustline. Extra-wide lapels and a nipped-in waist will add to the chest-enhancing effect, so opt for this sleek black number by Miss Selfridge.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.missselfridge.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=1&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=33055&storeId=12554&productId=5893080&langId=-1&sort_field=Relevance&categoryId=208077&parent_categoryId=208035&pageSize=40 ">Get the Miss Selfridge Faux Fur Collar Coat now for £89</a></p>
- Top-heavy<p> A deep V coat with narrow lapels will flatter a full bust - high funnel necklines and double-breasted styles are best avoided. Slightly loose-fitting outerwear works best on a top-heavy body shape - this straight-cut menswear-inspired coat is bang on the money.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://aolshopping.aol.co.uk/search_getprod.php/masterid=1043063028/search=Mango+straight+cut+coat ">Get the Mango Straight Cut Coat now for £63.99</a></p>
- Petite<p> Complement your compact silhouette with a coat that finishes on or above the knee, and avoid overly bulky maxi styles - they tend to swamp smaller frames. This investment coat by Precis Petite is spot on - we love the bright hue and body-lengthening funnel neck.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://aolshopping.aol.co.uk/search_getprod.php/masterid=1054758152/search=petite+coat+funnel ">Get the Precis Petite Funnel Neck Coat now for £199.20</a></p>
- Apple<p> Flatter your tummy and show off your slender legs in a Sixties-style swing coat. The A-line style will skim over the waist and the above-the-knee length will emphasise those pins. This minimal collarless version in bright orange will work a treat on your frame.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://aolshopping.aol.co.uk/search_getprod.php/masterid=1026201221/rd_type=M/search=Collarless+60%27s+Swing+Coat+PK491DF ">Get the Collarless Swing Coat now for £62.50</a></p>
- Pear<p> If you're eager to play down your pear shape, look for detailing above the waist to deflect attention away from your lower half. This military coat is a figure-fixing dream, from the smart epaulettes and eye-catching buttons, to the booty-skimming skirt.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://aolshopping.aol.co.uk/search_getprod.php/masterid=1057742462/search=military ">Get the New Look Full-Skirted Military Coat now for £54.99</a></p>
