LSpring is the best season to experiment with i more daring mixes: thanks to the dancer climate, a certain dexterity in dressing is necessary. Among the combinations to try, the leather jacket on the elegant dress: a practical outfit, a meeting point between different trends, which has the advantage of working both in the evening and during the day, with an irresistible rock’n’roll allure.

You just need to know which pieces to focus on and how to combine them for a rhythmic and rebellious look, in moderation. All to copy.
Where have we seen it
The style suggestion comes directly from the Spring-Summer 2023 fashion shows. To be precise, from the défilé Coperni Women, inspired by the robotic atmospheres of the Matrix. The groovy background is contained in the dresses, a string of evening and/or party dresses combined in different ways. The simplest and most impactful ensemble hits: the shiny leather biker jacketdistinguished by the shirt collar and jacket cut, worn over a black slip dress in remix texture.

The combination immediately catches the eye: on the one hand the infinity length of the total black dress, on the other the combination of jersey and satin, with a day&night touch; and then the leather of the jacket, which stands out due to the contrast of materials.
How to combine the leather jacket with the elegant dress in Spring 2023
The tone-on-tone trick is evergreen, essential and well-chosen. The split suit effect is in fact refined and elegant, but the combo also works by replacing the dress with straps with a model in another shade, always remaining on the most refined solid colour.
Depending on the occasion, the leather jacket can be replaced by the corresponding leather blazer, a boxy model, an oversized shirt or an eighties biker jacket: after 8pmalways better to focus on black, the most chic tone. Beware of the imitation leather or low cost versionswhich could demean the long dress, but also to the light-toned tassels that accentuate the daily idea.
To make the combination truly rock’n’roll, the ideas of the two young French stylists Arnaud Vaillant and Sébastien Meyer: the futuristic gogglesthat the modern clubbing dress code inspired by the Nineties also clears the night, and the contrasting shoes with pvc, metal or silver details, to be replaced if necessary with a pair of black ankle boots with high stiletto heels. To be unlined whenever the occasion permits, to go wild in style.
