Lots of black and white with a tweed dress and wool coat.

Think you can’t mix prints and textures? You absolutely can. Keep the color palette simple– like black and white, for example– and the game gets easier. I grabbed a striped wool coat and threw it over the top of a tweed dress. Now this dress is normally a summer pick for me– it’s sleeveless, which makes it great for the office in July. But throw a wool statement coat over the top? Now you’re talkin’ November. Black suede booties, silver jewelry, and mirrored silver sunnies make this a great outfit for both upcoming holiday parties and fall + winter date nights.

Shop the look:

Even though this black and white tweed dress is sleeveless, I’m going to extend its use for the colder months by using jackets and blazers to warm it up. Another trick? A thin black or white turtleneck layered underneath. Boom: a dress that stretches all year long.

  1. Very nice, I was just thinking about tweed. I love tweed , in a classic way like Chanel. But you don’t see it very often in the collections. That’s apitty!

  9. I love this ourfit! I’m a huge fan of dresses with decorate collars like that…. and this one is perfect because it’s the right combination of pretty and edgy. I seriously don’t think you could come up with a better outfit for the clothing pictured. The coat is beautiful also!

    1. Thanks so much, Julia! I forget how much I love a statement collar until I pull dresses out of my closet that have it, and then I fall in love all over again. 🙂

  15. Great outfit combo! I love when a dress can be dressed up/down depending on the season. How cute is the collar of that tweed dress?!?

  18. That dress is too cute, and the coat is AMAZING!!! Too bad I would burn to death in that right now. You would think it was June here, not November!
