What to Wear with a Minidress? Leather.
August 6th, 2009
Q: I like the idea of a minidress, but my style isn’t too girly. What should I wear it with?
A: Yup, it seems that it’s officially minidress week here at Omiru. We love minidresses, but we agree that they can be a bit precious. How do you balance out a delicate minidress so that the overall look isn’t too twee? Pair it with harder elements to give the look an edge. Here’s how to get the minidress and leather look:
1. Start with a delicate minidress. Notice how the ruffly tiers add a sense of femininity to the already girly dress.
2. Slip on a leather jacket. We love how the buttery brown pairs with the red and blue in the dress.
3. Finish off the look with a pair of killer heels (look at the heel height! and the cuffed ankle!) and a clutch.

Great outfit! I’d also pair that dress with leather riding boots and a blazer.

Thwarted! That awesome jacket is out of stock … I’d have worn it with minidresses and about a thousand other things.

Love the leather jacket! I’d also wear this dress with a boyfriend blazer and gladiator sandals or flats.

This Madison Marcus croc Blazer in bordeaux would look great over a chic mini dress. http://www.shopgoldyn.com/product.details-pid-1037-productname-Madison%20Marcus

The Madison Marcus is totally cute, but I REALLY like the asymmetrical zipper front of the one pictured, so I found these in case anyone else liked that too!:

Correct me if I’m wrong: a denim jacket and a different clutch would work perfectly.

StyleHermes – you’re absolutely right. The denim jacket is a great idea!
