How MyShoppingPal.com Finds Perfect Women Jackets/Coats?

The women jacket/coat is the most important piece of your wardrobe. A carefully chosen jacket hides your problem areas with ease and polishes your look unlike any other apparel piece. MyShoppingPal.com has incorporated knowledge that can help you find jackets that will work well for your body type and go well with your style. Here is the glimpse of the knowledge that is used to help you find your perfect jackets:

If you have curvy figure, the semi fitted style that hits at the point where hip start to curve out. Single breasted jackets styles work best and it is recommended to avoid double breasted jackets. Belted styles flatter shapely waists. Narrow lapels tapered to the waist or contour seaming creates a nice vertical. Curvy body types should avoid short, rolled lapels, flapped pockets and cropped styles of jackets.

If you are short, shorter styles and single breasted jackets with one or two buttons work best. Narrow lapels that taper below above your natural waist add to the length. Avoid long jackets, double breasted jackets, and excess detailing.

If you have narrow shoulders, opt for boxy channel type jackets or double breasted jackets with shoulder pads. Wider neck opening with a V or a sweetheart or a military style gives the illusion of greater breadth.

If you have broad shoulders, longer styles and loose, unstructured jackets help de-emphasize the shoulder.

If you have small bust, look for fitted jackets nipped at the waist. Consider double breasted or belted styles. Use draping at the shoulder and down the front, breast pockets, seaming and shirring to enhance a smaller bust-line. Shaped or Scooped necklines are flattering.

If you have tummy, choose semi fitted or straight cut styles that reach below the derriere or even longer. Keep all detailing vertical and narrow. Use a deep V-neck to elongate the torso. Avoid cropped jackets that end at the stomach, flap or patch pockets, and double breasted styles and wide collars and lapels.

If you are bottom heavy, semi fitted styles that either hit as your hips begin to curve out or just over your derriere. A care-coat style, worn over a sheath will give you a long, lean line. Always choose single breasted styles. Add vertical details above the waist such as shawl collars and contour seaming.

Paula Begoun in her book, “Don’t Go to the Cosmetics Counter without Me”, has exposed the cosmetics industry. She has explored the false claims of big names and discussed at length the side effects of various ingredients of skin care products.  The decision gets even tougher if you have sensive skin or skin with a particular problem, since many products might react and worsen your problem.  If you don’t want to compromise your beauty, you should be really careful and do thorough research before buying a product.  But the question remains “How”??? Who is going to give you an opinion on the suitability of each product for you?

MyShoppingPal.com announced it has added support for watches, toys, music, video games, and movies in its personalized search engine. The addition of these new category makes MyShoppingPal.com the only website that allows the personalized comparisons for all life style product categories. Similar to its support for the previous categories such as clothing, shoes, bags, jewelry, and health & beauty items, MyShoppingPal.com helps users find their perfect items for new categories using expert knowledge, customer ratings, and user preferences.

The traditional websites allow the comparison along price and customer ratings.  This type of comparison works well for technical items such as electronics and computers. But when it comes to life style goods such as clothing, shoes, jewelry, beauty, toys, music, and movies, the comparison based on the price and ratings is not sufficient. For many categories such as clothing and jewelry, most merchants sell unique products, so price comaprison is useless. For this reason, the tradional comparison shopping websites such as Shopzilla.com and Shopping.com have not done well for these product categories. MyShoppingPal.com learns about user preferences and applies expert knowledge, and user ratings on it to find the items users will like from all stores and all brands.

Given the users interests, it find items that other users with the similar interests have bought. A popularity and customer rating criteria is applied on these items to shortlist items.

The comfort factor depends on the fitting and the quality of the material of the shoes. The looking good factor for women shoes depends on your body type and the clothes that you will be wearing with. 

The section below discuss some of the factors that go into helping you find your perfect dress shoes, designer shoes, bridal shoes, or work shoes.  The analysis presented here gives you glimpse of what type of knowledge has been embedded in the system. It is not meant to be comprehensive. MyShoppingPal.com also has all premium brands such as Gucci, Prada, Fendi, UGG, Heelys, and Nine West and inventory from all online shoes merchants such as Zappos, Nordstorom, Shoes.com, Amazon, Endless, etc.

Trendy Shoe Styles

The most flattering shoe heels are the slim. While slim all around is best, you can have some width when looking at it from the back and still achieve leg-lengthening effect.  A tapered toe gives the slimmest look. If pointed toes are too uncomfortable, look for an oval or squared off shape.Thin sole creates the most slimming shoe. When looked at from the side, the sole should be thin no more than an eighth of an inch.

Body Type and Your Shoes

When you select shoes a few things depend on your body type and let’s discuss it first. For short women, the 2-3 inche heel shoes work best. Very high heels can make you look off balance. Use the rest of the outfit to elongate, by toning shoes to stockings and skirt or to socks and trousers. Match the tone of top to bottom for even more height. If you thick ankles and heavy calves, sling backs are the most flattering style. Knee high boots are also nice choice. Shoes that are too chunky or too delicate will make your legs look heavier. Avoid square toes, stiletto heels, wedges and platforms. If you have thick calves, avoid mid calf boots. If you long feet, the pointy shoes will make your legs look longer. An oval or squared toe works best for such shoes. Shape of the heels should match the shape of your body. If you are heavy, a skinny stiletto will exaggerate your weight. Thicker heel style is better option.

Clothes and Your Shoes

Here are the few pointers on how to match clothes with shoes:

1. Very long and very short skirts look better with lower heels.

2. Narrow pants look best with lower heels.

3. The heavier the shoe, the more casual it becomes.

4. When worn with a skirt, a high cut shoe can make the leg appear heavier and shorter. Wear high cut shoes with pants.

5. Usually a shoe should be the same color family as your outfit, but not an exact match.

6. Black is too heavy for lighter tones outfit and cut the leg length

7. White shoes are very stark and create break in the line of your leg. Try cream or ivory.

7. You can elongate the appearance of your legs by matching the tone of the hose to shoes. Matching hose to a brightly colored shoe is too much color and opt for skin colored hose.

Comfortable Shoes

Shoes comfort depends on three primary factors: the fitting, design, and material.

Fitting: When you buy a few pair of shoes, we know what size fits us well for different shoes brands. I would suggest to pay attention to both the size and the width of the shoes. For example, try 7B versus the 7 1/2 A.

Design: Depending on your height, the recommenced heel height that will make you feel comfortable is different. In general shorter and heavier the person, it becomes difficult to wear heels above two inches. If you want to wear heels more than two inches, do it in moderation. The kitten heels and Louis heels are good options for high heels shoes.

Material :Shoes chose made of breathable material so your feet gets the oxygen it needs, soft and flexible fabrics and leather to allow it greater freedom of movement, and a flexible and cushioned sole.

Shoes comfort is important for all types of shoes. MyShoppingPal.com gives extra weight on comfort, quality, and performance for sports shoes as an inappropriate shoes can cause injury.

Find Your Perfect Apparel with MyShoppingPal.com’s Smart Tools

According to study "The State of Retailing Online 2007" conducted by Forrester Research, the apparel category reached $18.3 billion in 2006 and it is first time it surpassed the money spent on Computers or Electronics. Even though the online sales of clothing, shoes and bags have increased significantly, these sales are just 2% of the total sales, and return rates are twice compared to other product categories.  Even today most people are averse to buying online,  because it is difficult for people to figure out whether an item is right or not. The reason behind high return rate is that consumers end up buying items which don’t suit them. So where is the solution?

To address this very problem of suitability, MyShoppingPal.com recently started public beta for a personalized shopping engine which helps users find what works well for them. This personalized shopping search engine is able to find the right product for you with the help of experts’ knowledge and by taking care of your style and preferences. Its ability to find suitable products works wonderfully in all apparel sub categories clothing, shoes, bags, jewelry and watches, giving you a feeling of an expert walking along with you to help you find your perfect items. MyShoppingpal.com also has incorporated the brand intelligence for a number of products such women jeans to further enhance its recommendation engine. We all are unique in our own ways, be it body type or style personality. So things that look good on someone else may not look good on you. And this is where MyShoppingPal.com helps you to find the product which works for you from body type, personal style and your personal preferences point of view. All this is done with the help of experts who have knowledge of “how each and every attribute of a product can affect its suitability for you”. On the basis of this knowledge, each and every product is rated for its suitability for you. This rating can help you to find the “right” product from zillions of choices made possible by the Internet.

For example, if you are buying a formal dress, evening dress, or a designer dress,  MyShoppingPal will use experts’ knowledge to rate each and every dress for you. The attributes of the dress like its sleeve type, neckline, color, fabric, and fitting contribute to the score of the product for you. Similarly for men shirt, MyShoppingPal will analyze its attributes like collar type, color, fabric, pattenrs, and sleeve length in measuring its score.

Along with following the experts’ recommendations, you can express your own preferences by indicating your likes or dislikes for a particular product based on its attributes. This continuous expression of your interest will train the shopping engine to show results as per your choice and taste. For example, if you don’t like black black dresses, you can indicate it so that the site will not show you black dresses again.

While other traditional shopping sites not only fail to help you in finding the “right” product but they rather confuse you with thousands of products and no way to find the better ones. Out of this confusion, MyShoppingPal.com lends a helping hand  to make shopping much faster and easier.

MyShoppingPal is also a gateway to all name brands for apparel such as Nocole Miller, Jones, New York, Donna Ricck, Gap, Calvin Klein, Diesel, Ralph Lauren, Alezander Mc Queen, Diane Von Furstenberg, Dolce & Gabbana. Guess, etc.
