Long dresses:how to wear them with "coolness"?

> Break the dress with a safari jacket

The safari jacket, a mixture of military jackets and Western safari outfits, was, in the 1930s, very popular with "gentlemen". Today rather worn by women (thanks to the feminists who adopted it), it is ideal for breaking up a long dress that is a little too chic or feminine during the day. And it avoids the amazed look of the grannies at the Franprix checkout (Jeannie to Geneviève:"Look how elegant she is!").

> Break the dress with a perfecto

The perfecto was also born in the 1930s. It was the jacket of American bikers. When we put it on, it immediately gives us a "bad boy" effect so even we are the most charming of creatures. All this thanks to the cinema and in particular, to Marlon Brando, James Dean… and their Harley Davidson. In short, by wearing it with a long dress, it looks a little less fairy of the fields ready for the Bal des Blés but modern woman and rock'n'roll, with balanced yin and yang (yes yes).

> Break the dress with boots

Pumps with a long dress are a bit too much , even for a wedding. On the other hand, treading the pavement in a frou-frou but with boots (heels welcome ), it changes everything and it gives a little WILD side, even "chic-rebellious". When we speak to you, right away, we have in mind the it-boots from Zadig &Voltaire.

> Break the dress with a denim jacket

If you want to go classic/basic in good taste, wear your long dress with a denim jacket. Summer is the timeless piece that goes with everything and gives us a little youthful side you want it here. Flagship piece in the 80s / 90s, instead of buying a new one, you can even bring out the one you wore in high school and which is probably in a box in the cellar at dad / mom.

> Break the dress with a pair of Converses

It is simply THE most worn pair of sneakers in the world, it is in every closet, and it transcends all outfits, genres and styles. From rocker to preppy family mother, she knows how to find her place… Married to a long dress, she makes us look like a made in USA gypsie, while playing down the ultra-femininity of the look.
