What to wear with?
The jacket is associated primarily with a business suit. Therefore, it goes well with classic trousers, a formal dress and a straight skirt. Classic high-heeled shoes will complement the strict look.

For the warm season, models made of lace, silk or chiffon are preferable. For the autumn-spring period, you can choose models from denser materials. A jacket made of knitted fabric looks very interesting with lush models of skirts, for example, the sun or half sun. Especially if the top and bottom of the set are matched in contrasting colors.
A jacket made of beautiful expensive fabric will be an elegant complement to a floor-length evening dress.
If you plan to use a jacket with a peplum in a set of clothes, then, when choosing a suitable shoe model, it is recommended to opt for models with high heels. The peplum visually makes the figure heavier, making it wider. The heel corrects the situation, visually lengthening the legs and making the silhouette more slender.
