How to Style a Teddy Jacket for Women: Jeans, Skirt, Dress and Boots

You style a teddy jacket best with smooth, calm pieces such as jeans, trousers, a skirt or a dress in natural tones, together with boots. The fluffy surface is the special part, the rest of the outfit can stay simple.

It is cool in the morning and mild at noon, and you want a jacket that looks soft and goes with a lot? This guide explains what a teddy jacket is and shows how to wear it with jeans and trousers, with a skirt and with a dress. It also covers shoes, tops and colours, plus three outfits for everyday, town and evening.

What is a teddy jacket?

A teddy jacket is a jacket made of soft plush fabric whose surface looks like the fur of a teddy bear. It is also written as teddyjacket.

Our teddy jackets come in cream and in brown. Both have a corduroy collar, a button placket and two patch pockets. The material is a mix of 84% polyester and 16% acrylic, made in Italy. The jacket is one size, intended for sizes 34 to 42.

If you prefer a waistcoat, you will find ideas in the guide How to style a teddy waistcoat.

How to wear a teddy jacket with jeans and trousers

The teddy jacket brings volume and a textured surface. That is why smooth pieces that fall calmly work well. This way only one part of the outfit has texture, and the whole look stays balanced.

• Jeans. Straight-cut jeans are an easy partner. Among our jeans you will find, for example, the straight jeans with lace details in blue and the balloon straight jeans in camouflage.
• Tailored trousers. They make the look neater. The jersey trousers in taupe or in brown from the trousers go well with a teddy jacket in cream.
• Leggings. Leggings in brown leave the stage to the jacket.

As a rule of thumb: one piece carries the texture, everything else stays smooth.

How to wear a teddy jacket with a skirt and a dress

Over a skirt or dress the teddy jacket looks less sporty and more like a soft counterpart. The cover picture shows exactly that: a short piece in brown, tall boots and the jacket in cream.

• Knitted skirt. The mini knitted skirt in brown from the knitted skirts goes tone on tone with a brown or cream jacket.
• Long dress. With a maxi dress, for example in beige, the jacket contrasts with the long line. You will find suitable styles among the dresses.

With a skirt or dress you wear opaque tights and tall boots when it is cool.

Which shoes go with a teddy jacket?

The jacket is soft, so shoes with a clear shape work particularly well: boots with a chunky sole or boots with a smooth surface.

• Boots. The suede-look boots with a zip in brown go with jeans and with tailored trousers.
• Tall boots. They belong with a skirt or dress, in brown as in the cover picture.
• Trainers. For relaxed everyday looks with jeans, trainers in white or beige remain a simple choice.

You will find more ideas for shoes in the guide How to style boots.

Which tops go under a teddy jacket?

Under the jacket the top can be plain and smooth. A fine knitted jumper in beige or brown works well, for example the Bambi jumper. A long-sleeve top in white or cream works just as well.

Two layers are enough. If you pull a thick jumper under the jacket, you get too much volume at once.

Which colours go with a teddy jacket in cream or brown?

• Cream. Brown, beige, black and denim blue are a calm base. Brown boots and a brown skirt give the light jacket contrast.
• Brown. Cream, beige and taupe look soft, black makes the outfit clearer. A light jumper underneath brightens the dark jacket.

Two to three shades are enough for the whole outfit. If one piece has a pattern, such as leopard or check, keep the rest in one colour. You will find more on brown in the guide Which colour goes with brown. And for light shades the guide Which colour goes with beige helps.

Three outfits with a teddy jacket for everyday, town and evening

Outfit 1: everyday. Blue straight jeans, a white long-sleeve top and the teddy jacket in cream. Add brown boots and a simple bag.

Outfit 2: town. The jersey trousers in taupe, a knitted jumper in beige and the teddy jacket in brown. Brown boots keep the look in one colour family.

Outfit 3: evening. A long dress in beige, the teddy jacket in brown over it and tall brown boots. A scarf in cream and small jewellery are enough as extras.
