Autumn is coming, and it’s time to change our outfit! What if we take time to review some timeless pieces that you could wear without any risk? We have selected 7 of them!
Body type
Get to know your body type first: There are seven categories of body shape: hourglass, apple, pear, inversed triangle, lean column, and rectangle.
Hourglass
Your chest and your hips are generous (less than 2cm difference), but your waist is narrow (20cm less than your shoulders/hips): you are the hourglass shape.
Apple
Your shoulders are round, so is your belly and waist, but you have thin legs: you are an apple shape.
Pear
Your shoulders are narrower than your hips, with a thin upper body (small chest, defined waist) plus bigger thighs: you are a pear shape.
Inverted triangle
Your shoulders are much larger than your hips which are flat, your waist has little definition: you are an inverted triangle.
Lean column
Narrow shoulders and hips, flat chest, low definition waist but long legs: you are the lean column shape.
Rectangle
Large straight shoulders and hips (flat hips), quite flat chest and low definition on the waist: you are a rectangle shape.
Autumn colours
Lots of people will choose the classic three for autumn: black, white and grey. Besides, camel, caramel, and bright colour such as red, orange could add a warm and dignified sense to the overall look.
Do you still remember the rules for colours?
Contrast colour principle: choose colours with strong contrast;
Similar colour principle：choose similar colour or gradient colours;
Tricolor principle: keep no more than 3 colours for one look.

Double-breasted Trench Coat
The double-breasted trench is styling with long sleeves, often seen in khaki. However, ladies with darker yellowish skin, please avoid khaki.

Leather jackets used to bring a rebel style. It’s no longer the case, you can be very chic and feminine wearing it nowadays.

It cannot cover the disadvantages of apple shape, whose arms would look squished and the body too large. This coat will also strengthen the shoulders, thus is not recommended for inverted triangle shape.

Short thin cardigans will not fit ladies with round shoulders, as your arms would be bigger with such a style. Thus you could choose medium length and match it with high waist dress or pants, or a belt.
Oversized Denim Coat
An oversized denim topcoat feels fashionable and warm. It is purposely oversized to give a “borrowed-to-brother” feeling.
