Formal jackets for dresses

The little black dress is our timeless go-to for all special occasions. Accessorise your choice with one of the designer's dressy jackets to transform it into an alluring evening wear. When heading to an opera performance, team-up a classic midi, Gianvito Rossi stilettos and Miu Miu's faux-fur number in powdery pink for a feminine finishing touch. If you would like to keep your ensemble all-black, select Stella McCartney's elegant wool blazer. Accentuate the look further by adding dazzling fine jewelry and a Gucci watch.

A leather jacket is our wardrobe essential when on the lookout for a versatile, yet spectacular garment. Whether you choose the sleek design from The Row or Coach's embellished option, the overlay is sure to infuse an edgy spin to your cocktail dress. Kate Moss championed a relaxed dining attire to perfection by coordinating a biker jacket to a gray mini dress and mid-heeled ankle boots.

Daily outfits with a glamorous twist

Evening jackets are not only intended to be for formal events, as they can be perfectly dressed down for the day. Combine Valentino's silk bomber with boyfriend jeans and a T-shirt to create a statement-making daytime format. Alternatively, given fashion's current love for velvet, sport a sharp blazer, which showcases the trend marvelously. When you are on the road, however, follow Alexa Chung's example of a travel outfit as she combines the luxe piece with gray skinnies, a striped blouse and a roomy tote. For a more casual approach, opt for Saint Laurent's straight-cut jacket.
