3 Apple
As an Apple shape, your waistline may not be very clearly defined and there is fullness around the midsection, hips and shoulders have the same width; your waistline has the same width or is wider. You may gain weight mainly around the waist, at least in proportion to the other parts of your body.
Jackets and coats you should opt for are styles that are open and oversized, to not draw attention to your mid-section, but to accentuate your legs, as well as peplum and blazer styles that can cinch in just below your bust area.

4 Inverted Triangle
If you are a triangle, your shoulders that are wider than your waist and hips. Your body follows the shape of a “V”, and your shoulders may be straight, squared, or athletic-looking.
Dressing for your type is all about balancing out your broad shoulders by drawing attention to your lower half, so opt for coat styles that have small collars or are collarless, or long, fitted styles.
