You need to ensure that you don't unbalance the body frame by making it either top- or bottom-heavy. This means maintaining the body's naturally balanced proportions without drawing attention to only the lower or upper body.
Wearing anything that draws attention to the waist helps bring out the body's balanced proportions. Necklines must not unbalance the natural silhouette of the hourglass body by either visually widening the shoulder line or adding unnecessary volume to it e. Because they are not extremely wide or narrow, they don't draw any attention to them. Lower and wider necklines - such as scoop or sweetheart necklines, will show off your bust.

A lightweight, form-fitting sweater is the best option, especially since it highlights your curves. Belts are also great to further highlight the waist. Lightweight fabrics and fine knits will complement your shape by highlighting your silhouette. Form-fitting and belted jackets are great. Short jackets that stop just above your hips accentuate your curves.
If you are petite, stick to shorter jackets that end at your hips.
