11 Ways To Wear An Easy-To-Style And Hard-To-Miss Duster This Spring
By EMILY HUNT
Crop Top Coverage
A duster is a lightweight trench coat-like jacket that nearly grazes, or dusts, the ground. A duster jacket is great for vacations because they’re lightweight enough that you won’t get hot under it, but will protect from
the sun, and can be used as a
cover-up in chilly locations.
Over A Longer Skirt
A duster pairs wonderfully with a mid- or full-length skirt. Pair a looser duster and skirt with a more form-fitting top to add some shape or try contrasting colors when you pair the duster with fuller skirts to add visual interest.
Pop Of Color
When you’re shopping for dusters, grab one that is in a non-neutral color, especially if your wardrobe is already made up of neutrals. A duster is a super easy and fun way to add color to an outfit or elevate an already colorful one.
Add Dimension
Everyone has a go-to outfit that works for practically any occasion and they feel most comfortable in, but that can get boring. Adding a duster—whether it be a solid color or patterned—to that outfit will provide some dimension and freshness.
Add Pattern
Patterned dusters add visual interest to an otherwise plain ensemble. To find one that pairs with the outfits you want to stand out, look for color similarities between the outfit and the duster to make the colors pop and bring the whole outfit together.
