Gwen Stefani Gwen got edgy with it, styling a black peplum dress with acid-wash jeans while out in Manhattan in 2010

Recommended styling: Jacket construction: - Double-breasted styles add horizontal dimension and create presence - If choosing single-breasted, opt for slightly wider lapels - Structured shoulders with moderate padding add breadth - Slightly longer jacket length maintains proportion with height Lapel considerations: - Wider peak lapels add horizontal balance - Shawl collars can also work, particularly in a wider profile - Avoid narrow lapels which emphasise vertical length Trouser strategy: - Can carry either flat front or pleated styles well - Ensure adequate length with a full break or single break - Moderate width through the leg balances tall proportions Fabric and colour: - Can carry heavier fabrics that drape with substance - Midnight blue or black equally effective - Patterned dinner jackets (subtle jacquard or texture) add visual interest Additional elements: - A waistcoat adds another horizontal layer and visual weight - Pocket squares with more volume add dimension - Substantial cufflinks complement longer arms 3.4
