Dua Lipa’s New Spring Staple? A Denim Coat-Dress

Denim is a wardrobe mainstay that will quite literally never go out of style. Plus, it’s perfect for a transitional season—like spring, which is officially here. A great pair of jeans or a cool buttoned-up denim jacket is just lightweight enough that it can be layered or worn as an outfit’s focal point, depending on the temperature. But leave it to a stylish star like Dua Lipa to find an entirely new way to wear jeans this season: The singer posted an Instagram today in which she shared her new spring staple, which is a denim hybrid style of sorts. It’s not a coat, and it’s not a dress—rather it’s a jean coat-dress.

Lipa’s long, buttoned-up denim look—in a light wash—is from Ferragamo’s pre-fall 2023 collection, designed by Maximilian Davis. The piece’s subtle boning gave it a structured, tailored feel—a clever detail, otherwise one can look like you’re drowning in denim. The coat-dress silhouette is a smart investment for spring if you think about it, given you can just slip it on and go—there’s not much else to it. Though, as Lipa did, great accessories will help really elevate the look, too. The singer paired her outerwear with Ferragamo’s sleek white geometric shoulder bag (it retails for $2,500), as well as a pair of slouchy patent knee boots. Consider it a fresh new way to wear jeans this spring: Not as pants, but rather as more of a fully-covered treatment. Dare to commit to it!
