Color Contrast, Blazer over Maxi Dress

It´s always fun to create an outfit that embodies a color contrast. And what colors are best to clash? An emerald green and a blue. I found this silk maxi dress in emerald green and I immediately knew that I would pair with it a fitted jacket in blue. I love that this blazer features a notch collar, side pockets and button-down. You can either wear it unbuttoned or button-secured. To give this outfit a sexy appeal, I chose Christian Louboutin’s black suede pumps, peep-toe, to go with it. They perfectly blend for elegance and glamor. Black choker and sterling blue ring are your perfect accessories.

Toughened, Leather Jacket over Maxi Dress

We know that red are currently, very on-trend. That applies to maxi dresses too. I love this red asymmetric silk gathered maxi dress from Halston Heritage. But this dress is too much of a statement and too sexy. I want to toughen it up with a cool biker jacket. Together, they bring an effortless transition between seasons. A biker jacket is your apparel that´s certain to bring edge to a maxi dress. I´d pair them with black sued shoe, metallic clutch bag, and black Grecian ring.
Very Summery, Denim Jacket over Maxi Dress

Another thing that I love to throw on over a maxi dress is a little denim jacket. It´s a perennially chic piece to complement a long summery dress. It injects ruggedness to a very girly dress. Because it´s very summer, I want to slip into gladiator flats and carry a sweet beach shopper. I really love to strut this around town on a sunny afternoon. With me are a pair of oversized sunnies.
Gone Rouged, Jacket over Maxi Dress for Fall

This time, let´s prettify a summer maxi dress as it transitions from summer to fall. Throw over your maxi dress a fierce motorcycle jacket. This is a great way to cover you when the weather cools. Tie a lightweight scarf to protect your neck and wrap your feet with edgy ankle boots. In this outfit, you still have the taste of summer but you´re not left out in the cold. Don´t forget your lip gloss.
Black Leather Jacket and Yellow Maxi Dress

Yellow and black are known to create a beautiful mix. I would toughen the maxi dress with a cropped leather jacket and pair them with lace up high heel ankle boots. My only accessory is a silver head watch. If I feel a bit more chilly, I can also throw over a flannel scarf, underneath the jacket.
So tell me Creative Fashionistas, how do you wear jacket with maxi dress?
I’d rock the toughened in a flashlight. The killer red, with killer pumps… yeehaw!
The toughened look is my personal favorite too 🙂
