Not All Dresses and Jackets Go Together, But These 5

Spring has arrived, bringing with it trickles of sunshine and plenty of flora in tow. Whilst we’re hoping for the warm weather to follow, the new season can be a temperamental one, meaning that whilst we’ve packed away our heavy coats, now is the time to keep a light jacket to hand. You might not think it, but dresses and jackets are notoriously difficult to style together. With varying lengths, it doesn’t take much, perhaps an inch in either direction, to throw off your look. And of course, this isn’t what you want or deserve.

Fret not, though, for we’ve found five foolproof jackets to go with dresses—a formidable outfit combination that’ll see you through the season and beyond. Whether your style errs on the casual side or you prefer a more polished way of dressing, our fashion friends have your next dress-and-jacket outfit sorted. So what are you waiting for? Give your jeans and jumpers a break, and keep scrolling to see and shop our favourite jackets to wear with dresses.
