At 5’1”, PureWow editor Kath Gillen doesn’t shy away from volume if it's styled right. “A long coat can work if the proportions are correct elsewhere."

4. Shoulders & Arms Must Hit Correctly

“You want the seam of the coat to fall on your shoulder, not behind it or in front of it." says Nicole Briese, PureWow director of commerce.

“As a fellow 5’0” woman, I’m team dry cleaners. They have always helped in fixing clothes if I need it.” says PureWow editor Chelsea Candelario.

5. Alterations Are Everything
