Spring is here which also means Sydney’s indecisive weather is here. That time of the year when its chilly as we step out of the house, and we start to swelter by midday. This means you just don’t know what to wear or which weather to be prepared for. That’s why ladies sometimes like to pair a lovely dress with a stylish jacket in this weather. It helps keep you both warm and cool when necessary. While when done right the combination boosts your style to the next level, some combinations just don’t work. To give you an idea on jacket and dress combinations that successfully fit a style brief, here is our top 10 best celebrity jacket and dress combinations.

8. Naomi Watts

Our home grown beauty shows how a flowy long dress can be taken up a notch by pairing it with a jacket. The beauty’s fresh faced look complements the blushed nude dress colour that can be perfect for any occasion from a stroll along Darling Harbour to a dinner out with friends. Or to a more formal gathering like a red carpet event that she is attending in this outfit. Toning down the jewellery and the heals makes it a good smart casual look to aim for.

7. Karolina Kurkova

Not only is she now ready for Sydney’s bipolar weather, Karolina oozes a sophisticated swag. This is achieved simply by pairing a leather jacket with a popping purple dress.

6. Kim Kardashian

While this picture is not exactly a jacket (more like a blazer), it just shows the versatility of the dress look when paired with a jacket like accessory. Kim nails the smart casual look here which can also be suitable for a casual gathering where you need to slightly dress up, or a night out.

5. Demi Lovato

The contrast does wonders. While the combination of grey and black together is something that we would like to go for in winter, Demi again showcases the versatility of a simple, sightly flared black dress and how this ook an be modified and adapted according to your needs. Whether you are looking for a more formal look for a work or a toned down look for a weekend outing, a black dress and a jacket is all you need.

4. Elle Fanning

Classic casual. Comfortable. Stylish and hip. This is the style that most of us would like to achieve. Not only is it minimal effort (you LITERALLY just need a black dress, leather jacket and sneakers), it also shows how simple, cool look can showcase a hint of attitude as well.

3. Pippa Middleton

Summery and breezy. Casual yet elegant. Pippa’s look ticks all the boxes. Again another minimal effort look, all Pippa has on is a denim jacket that beautifully complements the white summery dress. The denim jacket is a beautiful example of how to keep just warm enough on a breezy, sunny Sydney day. Well Done, Pippa. Beauty at its finest.

2. Vicky Pattinson

Similar to Kim, but this time with an actual jacket. Vicky’s outfit is enough to show how sexy can also look smart. The leather jacket not only keeps you warm in the cold spring breeze that we have been facing for the past few days, it adds a wow factor in a way that no other accessory could contribute to this look.
