Q. How do you style a dress and jacket?

When it comes to styling a dress and jacket, the process is pretty simple. You can choose to sport a jacket along with your dress for a complete look, or you could wear your jacket intermittently, say, going to and from an event and removing said jacket once indoors or while at the event itself. You’ll want to keep in mind the nature of the look you are going for. Wearing a denim jacket to a formal event is obviously not super appropriate. And the weather is also a factor to consider.

Once you decide on these things, the next step is picking the perfect dress and jacket combo! Consider your jacket’s length. A shorter jacket will work best with a bulky style of dress or one where you want to highlight your waist. A hip-length jacket is one of the most popular options, and this style will pair well with most if not all dresses.

Q. What do you wear over a dress when its cold?

You can wear your choice of jacket, coat, cardigan, or shawl, depending on how cold it is. Layering your clothing is a great way to stay warm while also providing you with various options. Keep in mind your overall goal for the look. Do you want a casual look? Try denim or a bomber jacket. Do you need a warm but formal look? Consider a well-cut coat in a neutral or coordinating color to your dress. For fancy events, a pretty shawl is always an option as well.

Q. What jackets to wear with summer dresses?

Summer dresses are easy to style with jackets. The most popular jacket we see styled with a summer dress is a denim jacket. They are a light material that you could easily pop on and off according to your comfort, and even tie around your waist if you are feeling too warm. The waist trick is even a styling trick, so you kill two birds with one stone. Check out outfits #20 and #18 for examples of ways to style a jacket with a summer dress.
