“I like to show off my legs, but my area of ‘improvement’ is my stomach, so I don’t really wear tight clothing. I like jackets that hit below my hips and are a little oversize so I can roll up the sleeves.” —Sophie Monet, 25

“I’m a 34D and a size 6. When you have a big chest, it’s hard to dress chic and not appear vulgar. The zippers and length of this jacket take the attention off the chest zone, especially if I wear it open.” —Elise Lebrun, 19

Such a pretty pale green, right? A hood distracts from décolletage.
