The long dress, a timeless piece to wear throughout the seasons
Once the warmth of spring returns, all you can think about is pulling out that beautiful long dress from your closet that gives you a stunning silhouette... Or autumn arrives, and you don't want to tuck away this timeless piece from your wardrobe.
And that's perfectly normal because a long dress, in addition to being elegant and feminine, is also practical and comfortable.
Additionally, it's suitable for all body shapes! So, we’re eager to wear it for as long as possible, even with the cool outside temperatures.
But rest assured, the long dress, a very trendy piece for the summer season, can be worn just as well in the early and late seasons by pairing it thoughtfully with a jacket.
But which one to choose? Depending on the style of your dress, pairing your long gown with the right jacket can quickly become a real challenge. We're here to help you sort it out...

The Bohemian Dress: Elegant and Practical for Everyday Wear
A beautifully romantic retro piece, the bohemian style dress perfectly combines casual elegance and glamour. If you have an artistic side or if you tend to be a dreamer, this type of dress is just for you!
Inspired by the hippie fashion of the 60s and 70s, it is often very colorful and brings a sense of joy. Highly practical, it adds a touch of elegance to your everyday outfits, while allowing for comfort, as it is often loose-fitting.
Whether it's floral prints, herringbone patterns, or geometric designs, it is fluid and lightweight, whether it's split or not. You'll need to pair it with the right jacket in a solid colour, as well as the right accessories.
The Cropped Jacket: A Style That Accentuates the Waist
This type of dress pairs beautifully with short jackets that structure the silhouette by visually defining the waist. Match its colour with your dress, opting for solid colours.
If applicable, choose a very subtle pattern that is barely noticeable to the eye, opting for a monochrome look. This style is quite trendy, and you can easily find this type of jacket in various colours and different materials.

To add a bit of edge to the sweet style of a colourful patterned dress, what could be better than a black leather jacket to break the norms? By daring to make this combination, you’re guaranteed a rock and glamour look. It's hard to resist...
To take this outfit a step further, we pair it with leather ankle boots. However, we steer clear of studded jewelry.
The Suede Jacket for a Hippie Look
In a camel colour, this jacket pairs beautifully with the ethnic style of the long dress. Feel free to wear it with a pair of ankle boots in the same colour, or even better, some jewelled sandals, which are very trendy right now.
For hairstyles, you can braid your hair and wear a subtle headband along with some colourful jewelry. For those who want to fully embrace the retro look, consider sporting the popular fringed bag from the hippie era.
The Denim Jacket: For a Relaxed Look

A must-have in our wardrobe, the denim jacket is the essential staple that goes with everything. Available in various shades, from light to dark, there's a style for everyone's taste.
Essential, it gives your bohemian dress a laid-back urban style. You can easily wear it every day. To spice up your outfit, hoop earrings should do the trick...
The Long, Flowing Solid-Coloured Dress
Often worn at fancy parties or weddings, the solid-coloured long dress embodies elegance and femininity.
Unlike the bohemian dress that favors flat shoes and block heels, you can opt for sky-high stilettos instead.
However, in addition to being suitable for special occasions that require dressing up, you can also wear it every day. All you need to do is pair it with a more casual jacket.
The black or coloured leather jacket for a rebellious look
Just like the bohemian dress, the leather jacket adds some spice to an otherwise conservative look. We play with colour and choose a messy hairstyle or a tousled bun.
To add a touch of flair, an ethnic pendant necklace should help break up the overly polished look of an outfit that's now rock-chic.
The oversized blazer for a tomboy look
Borrowed from men's wardrobes, the blazer can be worn over a long dress, whether for a night out or in everyday life.
Choose an oversized style for a trendy look. Since the dress is solid-coloured, you can have fun playing with different colour or pattern combinations.
This style of jacket indeed creates a flattering contrast between a very feminine dress and a heavily masculine piece.
