Jacket dress

The trend to combine different items of clothing into one model has never failed fashion designers. A striking example of this is a jacket dress. To date, this thing is not very widespread, but is already loved by many style icons.

The first models appeared in the 70s of the last century with the light hand of Yves Saint Laurent. He presented a typical tuxedo, where the main emphasis was on the shoulders and a thin waist. The image turned out to be feminine, sensual and fragile. After the first success, there was a significant evolution in the style of the jacket dress. And now we have the pleasure of admiring and choosing among many uniquely dissimilar models.

Classic models are traditionally finished with lapels, buttons on the sleeves and side pockets. Fitted or straight cut, they look like a typical elongated jacket. The only difference is that the hips are securely covered. By the way, it is permissible to wear a skirt or trousers under such a dress, using it as a jacket.

A sleeveless dress-jacket looks unique. This is a summer option if the model is made of light fabric. A dense warm fabric will turn such a thing into a vest, perfectly combined with blouses and pullovers.

A wrap dress-jacket favorably emphasizes the thin waist of its owner. There are no buttons here, but instead a wide belt or belt. Laconic and stylish.

The base material for a jacket dress is usually fabrics such as wool, velvet, corduroy, linen or cotton.They can be mixed and matched with lighter fabric options such as sheer sleeves or lace hem.

As for the color scheme - it is rather poor. It is customary to perform a jacket dress in plain colors or with a light “jacket” print like a “herringbone”. However, many fashion designers do not skimp on decoration and decoration. Often there is a large insert with a bright print, leather insert or lace trim, ruffles and zippers.

The length of the hem can vary from a daring mini to a luxurious maxi. The same applies to sleeves.

The blazer dress is undeniably formal, regardless of its trim or design. However, the deep neckline and provocative length warn against wearing this piece of clothing on a naked body. Wear a contrasting top or blouse under the V-neck to accentuate the length of your neck. And if you choose a similar bottom in the form of a skirt, trousers or even a dress, you will get a well-thought-out full-fledged suit.

The role of accessories in looks with a jacket dress cannot be overestimated. It is these details that determine which direction you will give your style - official classics, comfortable casual, sophisticated romance or youthful courage.

Shoes fit preferably closed. In the summer version of the dress-jacket, pick up pumps. Massive ankle boots will make the look heavier, adding a fatal zest. And sneakers in combination with an elongated jacket will create an informal style for every day.

Pale stingy tones enliven with bright details and suitable makeup. Dilute the gloomy dark shade with contrasting small accessories or jewelry.
