What Kind of Jacket Looks Good With a Long Dress?
Here are some jackets that you can wear with your maxi dress.
1. Denim Jacket
Always wear a denim jacket if you are unsure which jacket to pick. Denim jackets are versatile; in fact, have several of them in your closet.
You are guaranteed to look amazing in a denim jacket, whether washed out, ripped, black, or blue. This is one of my favorite ways to wear a long dress.
This look screams put together and polished.
Complete this look with some red lipstick, sunglasses, and ankle boots. Do not carry a huge handbag; go for a sling bag. And if you want summer vibes, go for a floral maxi dress.
Wear sandals to tone down your look, but put on some heels if you want to show up.
2. Leather Jacket
The beauty of leather jackets is that you can wear them all season. However, spring and summer are the best times to pair them with your maxi dress. Here you can happily wear your floral summer maxi dress.
Leather jackets and long dresses for women are a match made in heaven. It is so easy to look stylish instantly in this combo.
Picture yourself with a high-slit maxi dress, a black leather jacket, and some ankle boots; this combo is to die for.
To look perfect in this outfit, consider wearing a jacket that falls right at your hip bone or above it. Don't go for long leather jackets.
3. Trench Coat
Trench coats were once army officers' uniforms; their history traces back to World War I. now we have trench coats in all sizes and shapes. And you guessed it right, and you can pair it with your long formal dress.
This is the perfect look for formal functions.
Also, don't be afraid to wear your long dress with an oversized trench coat that falls just below the knee. This look is just perfect for those cold days. Add a scarf, wear gloves and boots, and the cold will have nothing on you. Even better, you will look not only warm but also stylish.
4. The Belted Jacket
I always go for this look when wearing a long coat with my maxi dresses. The beauty of adding a belt is that you will achieve the coveted hourglass figure despite your body shape.
Pair this look with a sky-high statement heel. Even better, go for a heel with a tipped toe.
5. The Puffer Jacket
We know that puffer jackets are perfect for cold weather. But nowadays girls wear them because they are stylish. In fact, celebrities like Jennifer Lopez are always rocking them.
Design houses like Brunello Cucinelli and Miu Miu are recreating them for the red carpet and runways.
This jacket layers perfectly with a silk maxi or long-wrap dress. The look is complete when you pair it with some sneakers; I always prefer white sneakers.
6. The Oversized Wool Jacket
There is nothing as classy as an oversized wool coat. If you want to look rich, this coat is for you. Pair this with amazing long dresses you can Purchase at Essential Style Boutique.
This look is ideal for those late-night dinners. Go for turtle-neck long dresses and boots for a complete look.
