A double-breasted coat dress is a timeless and elegant option that works equally well for work as it does to go out. It is also a style that works for pretty much everyone, which makes it a great alternative for a suit.
I love masculine-inspired looks because they are tailored and elegant, but I always try to soften them by adding ultra-feminine accents and accessories. In this case, I added an ornate belt and wore lots of pearls. I also added a bit of flash with the metallic heels. I hope you enjoy it!
