What jacket to wear with a white dress?

Do you want to wear a white dress but are worried about feeling cold? Are you wondering what type of jacket would go well with such a dress?

I’m here to help you.

As a fashion enthusiast, white dresses, whether mini or maxi, are a staple in my summer wardrobe. However, I also love wearing them on lovely days during spring or autumn, and sometimes even in winter.

That's why I'm sharing with you my top tips to stay warm while looking stylish in a white dress.

The jacket you choose to wear with your white dress will define your style. A denim jacket gives you a trendy and casual bohemian look, perfect for a laid-back occasion or an everyday outfit. If you're aiming for a sexy and bold vibe with your white dress, pairing it with a denim jacket will give you a rockstar feel. For a chic occasion, go for a white or navy blazer that matches your shoes in the same shade. You might also consider a nude sweater for a delicate and incredibly feminine look. And if it's really cold, don't hesitate to put on a stylish ¾ coat in a pastel colour!

Denim Jacket for a Bohemian Chic Look

Timeless and comfortable, the denim jacket was once reserved for everyday casual outfits. However, in recent years, it has become increasingly common to see it worn over chic and formal dresses, adding a casual fashion touch to the ensemble. Some brides-to-be even opt to wear a denim jacket over their white gown, creating a stylish yet approachable and original look.

When to wear this type of outfit?

This look is perfect for a special occasion (wedding, baptism, birthday party...), especially if you're keen on a bohemian style. It will also add some character to a white dress worn in everyday settings.

👉 Looking to switch up your denim jacket? Try a camel suede jacket, which has a lovely bohemian chic vibe. It pairs perfectly with natural leather accessories for a stylish and trendy look.

How to complete this look?

If the situation allows, you can pair your denim jacket with a white dress and wear it with white low-top sneakers or ankle boots. This will give you a fresh and contemporary look that remains elegant thanks to the dress. If you'd rather go for a more chic and summery vibe, you can opt for strappy heeled sandals in white, light brown, or a colour that matches your jacket.

The Leather Biker Jacket for a Rock and Two-Tone Look

Looking to wear a modern and stylish outfit? A leather jacket is perfect for adding contrast to a two-tone dress. I recommend choosing one that's on the shorter side and relatively simple, so it really stands out against your dress.

When to wear this type of outfit?

This look is perfect for an autumn outfit, ideal for going to work, studying, or even heading out. You could also daringly pair a black leather jacket with a white evening dress if you want to achieve a rock 'n' roll look. This style, which is both sophisticated and bold, is great for breaking the mould and showcasing yourself in a new light.

How to complete this look?

To complete this look, I suggest you stick to black and white tones, paired with black tights and, of course, black shoes. If you’re wearing this outfit in the summer, you can opt for black leather sandals with thick heels for added comfort. When the weather gets cooler, feel free to team your dress with black ankle boots, or even some vintage white boots from the 80s for an ultra-trendy vibe.

A Blazer for a Chic and Dressed-Up Look

Choosing a blazer is a safe bet if you want to keep it chic with your white dress. If the dress is quite short, a mid-length or long blazer would be ideal. On the other hand, if it's a long or mid-length dress, or if you want to emphasize your waist, don’t hesitate to go for a cropped style that hits just above the hips. In any case, make sure to try on your dress while wearing it before buying your blazer!

👉 Looking for something unique? Try a colourful cropped blazer that adds a fresh twist to the usual black and white jackets, while still keeping it classy!

When to wear this type of outfit?

This simple yet sophisticated outfit is perfect for a chic and festive event such as a wedding ceremony, a baptism, or even a cocktail party. It's also an excellent choice in a professional setting, where you might meet clients, interact with your superiors, or give a presentation.

How to complete this look?

To complete this outfit, choose elegant shoes like pumps or high-heeled sandals. If you prefer something a bit more casual, you can also go for derby shoes. Consider adding some accessories to your look, such as a clutch, a lovely pendant necklace, or a pearl bracelet.

Dare to wear beige and nude tones for a chic and feminine autumn look

Are you looking for a subtle and bright style to wear with your white dress? If so, a nude-coloured sweater or light jacket will be perfect to slightly enhance your outfit while keeping you warm without creating too much contrast. The term “nude” actually refers to shades derived from beige and pale pink, which add elegance and lightness to your look.

👉 Why not try a faux fur jacket to mix up textures and add some depth to your winter outfit!

When to Wear This Type of Outfit?

Depending on the style of your dress, shoes, and jacket, this outfit is perfect for looking stylish every day, especially in a work setting. You can also wear it for a night out, like visiting friends.

How to complete this look?

As much as possible, avoid contrasting your outfit too much with dark colours. Nude sandals, ankle boots, or heels would be perfect to complement this outfit. You can also go for silver shoes and accessories to add a chic touch!

A lovely coat to enjoy your white dress in winter

When the cold days come, it can be tough to balance style, femininity, warmth, and comfort. However, white is an iconic colour of winter: I recommend opting for a look that highlights this shade by pairing it with a matching coat or a nude one.

If your dress is short, you can opt for a ¾ wool coat that falls just below it to create a coordinated look. If your dress is long, I suggest either a short jacket to keep your body proportions in check and accentuate your waist, or a long, flowing coat that reaches your knees or even lower for a more sophisticated style.

What Accessories to Pair with Your White Dress in Winter?

No matter what type they are (jewellery, bags, hats...), accessories enhance your outfit and make it unique. They showcase your fashion sense and provide that final touch to personalise your style.

With a white dress, you can for instance wear:

🔸 An oversized scarf or a shawl is perfect for keeping warm while staying stylish. It adds a touch of femininity to your outfit and helps accentuate the upper part of your body, which is great for complementing a curvy silhouette, for example.

🔸 A beret for that sophisticated Parisian look! This unique hat is perfect for adding a splash of colour to your outfit, especially when paired with some vibrant shoes!

🔸 White or nude tights to keep your legs warm while maintaining a bright look! Matching tights with a white dress can be tricky: you can’t go wrong with tights in the same shade featuring pretty patterns, or opt for black tights for a contrasting effect.

🔸 A wool beret or a white beanie for a cute and very feminine winter style. Don’t be afraid to coordinate your accessories for a total white look! To add a touch of flair, consider white wool with metallic threads. 😉

You now have all the keys to find the perfect jacket to go with your white dress. Don’t hesitate to try them on to see if the style suits you!
