If you choose a sleeveless dress for an evening party, what should you wear over it? What items should you choose? This is the problem of matching a "jacket" with formal wear, a question that many customers at Qualite have expressed.

Today, we'll be showcasing a look featuring a collarless jacket from JILLSTUART, popular for its relaxed look and easy pairing with feminine formal dresses.




This bolero-style jacket, with its matte finish, creates an elegant look. Its refined collarless design and slightly flared A-line silhouette make it a great match.

This makes it a great match for A-line dresses that flare from the waist, like the dress we're using in this look. It's designed to look great with the sleeves tucked into your sleeves or simply draped over your shoulders. Because the jacket is short, pairing it with a long or maxi dress will enhance your figure even more. This time, we're styling the jacket with a JILL STUART dress (rented separately), which is available as a matching set. Both the jacket and dress are also available in navy at Qualite. The jeweled motifs on the pocket flaps are removable. Try changing them depending on the occasion or the items you're coordinating them with. Finally, check out some coordination tips to make your JILL STUART jacket look even more stylish!

Coordinate point note

Shoes and accessories are stylist's own
This jacket has a bolero-style design that's neat, but not overly handsome. By pairing it with a feminine dress and a jacket slung over the shoulders, you can maintain your femininity and create a sophisticated yet relaxed look. Even if you usually just slip your sleeves into a jacket, try wearing this one draped over your shoulders.







One of the appeals of collarless items is that they allow you to accentuate your collar and jewelry, but sometimes, why not enjoy a clean, simple look? In particular, taking advantage of the beautiful neckline of collarless items and elegantly showing off your skin can create a light, cool impression that's perfect for spring and summer styling.
