Overview
A long, tight dress is a closet staple every gal should own. A simple, chic long dress is a basic item that can be layered with other pieces to create a ton of different looks. Don’t fall into the trap of wearing your favorite dress with the same old jacket. Experiment with different shapes, cuts and textures to totally transform your look.
Bold Blazer
Give your fitted dress an instant injection of sophistication by pairing it with a structured blazer. Skip the boyfriend styles that can look too large over a tight dress, and choose a fitted blazer that nips in at the waist instead. Rock this season’s color blocking trend and choose a bright blazer in coral, blue or mustard to really make your dress pop. Keep things cool and casual and rock a blazer with 3/4-length sleeves.
Lush Leather
Contrast your slinky dress with a masculine leather jacket for a look that is seriously hot right now. A staple leather jacket in tan or black will never go out of fashion and is perfect for keeping you warm on those cooler nights. Your dress and leather can work for evening or daytime depending on the shoes your wear. Stick to embellished flats or wedges in the day and killer heels in the evening for a seriously versatile look.
Sexy Shirt
Keep things carefree and casual and pair that dress with a simple denim shirt. Wear your shirt open over your fitted dress or tie it at the bottom for a girly and retro finish. Add a skinny belt over your shirt and around your waist to nip you in and show off those gorgeous curves. Don’t be fooled into thinking your everyday shirt can only work with a pair of skinny jeans. Pairing a cute jean shirt with a feminine dress is a seriously sexy way to wear those separates.
Cute Cardigan
Team that dress with a luxe cardigan for a cute and cozy outfit. Try a chunky knit style when you need to make that dress work in winter. If your dress is plain, take a risk and rock a vintage cardigan with a bold print. If you prefer to keep things clean and simple, a fine, fitted knit in black or cream is a foolproof option.
Cropped Jacket
Show off your gorgeous waist with a cropped jacket. A cute cropped jacket that hits around your smallest area is a great way to appear longer and leaner. For casual days, a cropped jean jacket is effortlessly cool. Try a cropped sequin jacket or cape when you need to make that dress work for glam, evening occasions.
