The faux fur coat

If you want a way to take your formal dress to entirely new level, consider adding a faux fur coat. No matter that coat’s length, color or texture, faux fur brings a level of confidence and boldness to your outfit like no other coat can.

Depending on the overall style you are trying to achieve, an oversized coat provides a more effortless look while a fitted coat offers a glam effect. In fact, faux fur coats are incredibly versatile.


 

The blazer

Blazers don’t have to be restricted to professional events. In fact, blazers are rather fashionable when you pair them with the right dress. It’s a fantastic way to instantly polish your look into something highly sophisticated.

Blazers come in so many different cuts, styles and lengths, which means you can even have fun bringing in a whole new element to your formal outfit. A cropped blazer is extremely flattering for the waist, whereas a longer blazer brings more attention to your dress’s silhouette.
