What jacket to wear with a little black dress?

The little black dress is a versatile piece found in every wardrobe! Whether it's short or long with a defined waist, it can be worn to work, for an evening out, or just for a stroll in the city. The right accessories can change your style completely. But what jacket should you wear with a little black dress?

A Bohemian Jacket

Made from denim, linen, cotton, or even wool, a bohemian jacket often features ethnic or floral patterns. It might be adorned with lace and fringes, which are commonly used in bohemian style.

Available in short, mid-length or long styles, it is flowy enough to allow for real freedom of movement. Paired with the black dress, it adds a relaxed vibe for a chic bohemian look.

Complete your style with shoes, a scarf, and bohemian jewellery.

A Blazer

Perfect for the office, a blazer adds a touch of class and casual elegance to your outfit. To contrast with the black of your dress, opt for a bright or light solid colour. If you prefer to keep it elegant, a black blazer works too. Patterns are also welcome to uplift your look.

You can wear it buttoned for a stricter appearance or left open for a more relaxed look.

A Biker Jacket

Created in 1928 for motorcyclists, the biker jacket was later widely adopted by rockers and punks before it was firmly adopted by the fashion world in the 1990s.

Today, the biker jacket remains an essential piece! It gives a rebellious touch that contrasts with the more classic vibe of the little black dress. As for colour, anything goes: you can opt for an all-black style, a black and white look or even play with multiple colours using complementary accessories. Let your imagination run wild according to your desires.

A Trench Coat

Invented during the First World War, the trench coat was a waterproof coat that reached down to the calves. It was introduced into the fashion world by Yves Saint Laurent in the 70s. Today, it is a basic piece in every woman’s wardrobe. Made from soft materials, it usually has a thin lining.

Perfect for mid-season, you can wear it daily with your black dress. Generally, trench coats are solid colours, allowing you to choose any shade. Just ensure that the length is adjusted based on your dress. It should be longer than your trench unless you opt for a long jacket style that covers your legs.

A Denim Jacket

Another must-have in wardrobes, a denim jacket pairs beautifully with a black dress. It brings a casual touch and can be worn in all situations.

When it comes to colour, avoid choosing a black denim jacket as the shade won't match your dress. Whether it's raw or lighter, the denim colour will contrast nicely with the black dress. You can also choose all sorts of patterns and embellishments: prints, lace…

As for the cut, the choice is yours: oversized or fitted, long sleeves or rolled up... Wear it as you like!

Bohemian Dress

A Cardigan

For a casual style, you can also opt for a cardigan or an oversized knit vest. The cardigan will be shorter and fitted while the vest will be looser.

Your look will combine both the classic elegance of the black dress and the relaxed vibe of the vest.

Wear it buttoned for a stricter appearance. If you prefer to highlight a more casual look, fasten only one button or not at all.

So, the choice of your jacket depends on the look you wish to achieve, and with a little black dress, anything is possible!
