Best of Both Worlds: The Right Elegant Jacket to Match Your Formal Wear

It’s a dilemma we’ve all faced when headed out to a formal occasion when it’s cold out—put on a puffy coat that doesn’t match your outfit and stay warm, or forget the extra layer and suck it up. Isn’t it time we address the elephant in the room: what can you wear to stay warm without ruining your outfit?

Gone are the days of braving the cold all in the name of fashion. Look stylish and stay warm at the same time with these jackets to pair with your eveningwear.

Gowns and Boleros

When it comes to finding the right outerwear to match your dress, the type and length of the jacket is key. If you’re donning a gown, then you want to opt for a short jacket like a bolero to balance out the length of the dress. Go for one made from an elegant fabric like silk to match the tone of your ensemble.

Minis and Motos

For your party or sit-down dinner you decide to keep it short and sweet in a mini dress. You may not be able to shield your legs from the cold, but you can keep your arms toasty with a motorcycle jacket. The edginess of the jacket will offset the daintiness of the dress. Arrive at your party ready to mingle wearing a black mini dress with lace overlay and a beige moto jacket.

Suit and Capes

You decide to ditch the traditional dress and head to a gala or holiday party in a stunning white pantsuit with a wide leg and a plunging neckline. Dazzle the guests as you make a dramatic entrance wearing a billowing cashmere cape in dark blue or light pink. A poncho is also a viable option.

There’s no reason for you to arrive at your next formal event with a bad case of the shivers. Show everyone you came dressed to impress with the an elegant jacket to match your elegant frock.

You’ll never have to choose between staying warm and looking good with these jackets.
