Ask the stylist – Blazers & large busts, can they be friends?

Q - I want to invest in a blazer but I've got a large bust, short torso and broad shoulders. I also find it hard to wear tailored jackets done up, as the buttons always look like they are about to pop. I’m in desperate need of advice! Please can you help me to find a style that will suit my shape?

A - There are some great blazers out this season, but it can be difficult to find a design that is right for you. I’d suggest going for a classic style with an open neckline and nipped in waist. Two buttons sewn closely together or ones that have a belt tie are extremely flattering whilst giving you extra support. A blazer should be viewed as an investment staple piece so spend time making sure it goes with a number of items you already have to minimise its cost per wear.
