Blazer dress

The modern women's wardrobe is incredibly diverse. If earlier it was mainly based on dresses, blouses and skirts, now you can count dozens of different options for everyday, business and festive clothing. And if most of these things are familiar to every fashionista, then the names of some of them raise questions.

Our today's article is devoted to one of these unusual wardrobe items - a dress-jacket. We will tell you in detail what this thing is, about its varieties, as well as how and with what it should be worn.

As you might guess from the name of this item of clothing, a dress-jacket is a cross between a short dress and a long jacket. It is characterized by a fitted or semi-fitted silhouette and a deep V-neckline. A dress-jacket can be with or without sleeves; the presence of lapels and pockets is also optional.

We present to your attention a selection of the most stylish and interesting dress-jackets from leading clothing manufacturers.

• The original by ASOS features a baggy silhouette, wrap neckline, sleeve, snap fasteners and large patch pockets.
• An elegant solution from LAURA CLEMENT: a light sleeveless blazer dress with extra decor, made of natural 100% linen.
• Military style from GLAMOROUS: sleeveless khaki model with patch pockets, without fasteners, but with a textile belt.
• A striking piece from Balmain: an expressive combination of black fabric and gold-tone hardware, a long zip at the back, a fitted silhouette and a slim sleeve.

• A dress-jacket is not always a business version of clothing, therefore, if you choose an option for the office, carefully study the model you like. Since no tops or shirts are supposed to be worn under a dress-jacket, the neckline should not be too deep.For work, it is better to choose models with sleeves, at least not large, besides, the dress should be long enough.
• If your goal is to purchase a dress-jacket for informal and festive events, then the choice is practically unlimited. Take a closer look at asymmetric cut models, as well as blazer dresses with a flared skirt. A fluffy bottom will make your look more light and flirty.

A dress-jacket is a self-sufficient thing that looks most advantageous not in combination with other clothes, but by itself. Therefore, this wardrobe item does not require any accompaniment for itself, except for suitable shoes and accessories.

An elegant blazer dress is recommended to be worn with classic shoes, heeled sandals or graceful boots. Casual shoes such as ballet flats or sneakers can only be worn with democratic models in sports or casual style.

There are no strict requirements for the choice of jewelry and bijouterie for a dress-jacket. Depending on the format of the event, it can be discreet earrings and a pendant, or a massive necklace and several large bracelets.

Don't forget about accessories: miniature ties, belts, silk scarves, sunglasses and, of course, stylish handbags of different types.
