In the modern world it is important what first impression the interlocutor will have after meeting you. That is why we will consider one of the images - dresses with a jacket. If a few years ago, a jacket under a dress was perceived only as part of the business style of clothing, now everything has changed dramatically.
Jacket Types
The fashion is fleeting, but even despite the rapid change in the trends that we observe at fashion shows, the basic variations remain unchanged. Dresses with a jacket are one of the permanent and already beloved combinations in women's fashion. So, what are the types of jackets?
They can be classified by style. Classic (straight) cut or fitted, with shortened sleeves, elongated jacket or shortened. Also new in recent years is dresses with a sleeveless jacket. The latter variety is very popular among young people and with the right combination creates an amazing image.
Materials
Many options are now presented in stores. But first of all, it is worth deciding on which season a thing is bought. The choice also depends on this. In the warm season, it is worth considering blazers made of cotton, knitwear, linen and denim. These are rightfully the most popular materials.
A tweed jacket is perfect for winter. Tweed is often used to make classic models, it has a dense structure and holds its shape perfectly. Woolen is also popular. They have many advantages, but at the same time their high cost can scare them off. However, there are varieties of woolen jackets that include satin or silk additions.
For the off-season, you can advise a jacket made of flannel. The fabric in its structure is quite dense, but thin. It is pleasant to the touch, smooth and soft. Early spring and late autumn are the most comfortable temperatures for this type of fabric.
Color spectrum
There are no clear restrictions on what a jacket should be and what kind of dress. But it is important to consider the compatibility of things. A tweed jacket and a light chiffon dress will look ridiculous together. And, for example, a knitted
black dress with a denim jacket is excellent.
The color, first of all, should depend on the style that is planned for release. In the office it is better to choose the classics - white, black, gray. Universal colors can be combined with each other, which will add variety. Of course, it is worth considering that, for example, an image made entirely of black things will visually make the silhouette slimmer. White color brings freshness, but sometimes it can distinguish the owner from the total mass of colleagues.
For a walk, you can mix styles. Try wearing a light gray long sleeveless jacket with a fitted multi-colored dress. You will see how this will add zest to your image.
On a date, it is recommended to adhere to a romantic image with the appropriate color scheme.
There are no exact rules on how to dress for a particular event, so there is always the opportunity to experiment with color and fabric combinations.
When choosing the right tone of a jacket or dress, the color type of appearance should be considered. For a more understandable explanation, an example can be given. The gray color is ideal for a fair-haired pale-faced girl belonging to the "summer" type, but does not decorate the black-haired "winter" representative at all.
What to wear?
For a harmonious image, it is not enough to choose a style and arrange colors. It is also important that you put on your feet. What accessories do you choose? A jacket under a dress in summer can be worn with sandals or pumps. Ballet shoes will be appropriate to look only if you decide to arrange a long walk.
For a more daring style, consider choosing a dress with sneakers. The following combination is especially popular: an elongated jacket, a dress below the knee and sneakers / sneakers. A small backpack will fit perfectly.
Office style gives less variation with shoes. Dresses with a jacket and shoes are considered a classic option. Boots should be considered only as a last resort.
Accessories
Ornaments can harmoniously fit into the image and add a unique charm, or they can add elements of chaos and bad taste.
About shoes, it was said above, but do not forget about this element of the wardrobe. Ballet shoes and shoes will create completely 2 different images.
The bag may be neutral in color. But if you have a strict business suit, then a bright bag will cheer you up and allow you to very competently beat the image.
