Cora What could be more comfortable and feminine than a classic dress and a blazer? Today we are going to show you 5 different ways to wear it, however, there are even more combinations that you can create. While wearing a blazer with a dress can seem very traditional and unimaginative, it is actually a great, must-have combo that you should always have in your wardrobe.
1. A-line dress with a short blazer
When it comes to choosing the right style of the dress and the length/cut of your blazer, it’s important to think about proportions. For example, a loose floor-sweeping dress won’t look good with a long, oversized blazer – this combination will make even the slimmest person look heavy and unattractive.
On the other hand, wearing a tiny mini skirt with a short blazer will look strange as well – you don’t want to achieve an impression that the clothes you are wearing are too small for you. That’s why it always important to play with the lines and proportions to achieve a desired and balanced effect.
Wearing an A-line dress with a shorter blazer works perfectly as this type of skirt has more volume than a mini skirt making your figure look more harmonious. This combination is recommended for both slim and plus-size ladies.
2. Maxi dress with a tiny blazer
Thinking about trying one of the super-popular maxi dresses this season? Pair it up with a cute tiny blazer.
3. Bodycon dress with a long blazer
Tight-fitting dresses will look best with longer blazers. A popular oversized trend will work here perfectly.
4. Midi dress with an oversized blazer
Midi dresses offer lots of styling opportunities. From classic blazers to large ones with puffy sleeves – everything will look good.
5. Mini dress with a short or long blazer
If you are a fan of mini dresses, pair them up with a short blazer to show off your figure and curves. A longer blazer, on the other hand, will look great with an ultra-short mini dress – think about wearing two contrasting colors and fabrics, for example, Little Black Dress with a gold sequinned blazer, dark violet dress with bright fuchsia, dark blue with pastels, etc.
As you can see, there are several interesting ways how to wear a dress with a blazer. Depending on your personal style and your figure as well (keep in mind that not every combination is suitable for everybody type!) you can choose something that you love and you feel comfortable wearing. As always, the best way to find out is to try various outfits and combos in front of your mirror or ask your best friend for a piece of styling advice. Have fun!
