This jacket has a playful collar and just modernizes what could be a more conservative look.Īnything goes when it comes to texture, and these fabrics are usually solid or two-tone in color, making them easy to pair with any basic in your closet.

For an even more polished and figure-flattering look, try belting it. Make sure your shirt fits well and isn't too oversized: It should lay flat underneath the dress so that it doesn't bunch up, and the dress should fit snugly but comfortably over it.
