If you need your duster to keep you warm, look for a style that's fitted around the waist so you can wear it closed.

An open, loose duster coat looks really cool with rolled-up, light-colored denim and sneakers. It's a casual outfit, even if the duster is made of a dressier material. This is a great way to dress down a nice duster.

Question

Can I wear a below the knee duster with an above the knee skirt?

Top Answerer

Yes, you can wear an above the knee skirt with a below the knee duster. Wearing layered outfits has been popular for years, and long over short, is just a type of layering. Try your ensemble on, if you like how you look, it works! You might want to consider knee high boots with a heel with your above knee skirt and long duster, or gladiator sandals depending on the climate.

Question

I have a fur collared and fur cuffed velvet long duster I made from a housecoat. What can I wear it with?

HumanBeing

Top Answerer

That sounds like a great statement piece. You can really wear it with anything you like. Some good options would be a fitted top in a block colour that pairs well with your duster and tailored pants/trousers in a neutral colour such as grey, beige, or tan, or classic black or white. If you don't like wearing pants/trousers, you could try a knee length pencil skirt.

Question

What color shoes can you wear with all-white top and pants and a black duster?

Community Answer

Wear white shoes with an all-white top and pants and a black duster. Avoid wearing a black duster with an all-white outfit if you want to be elegant.

Question

If I wear a lot of long skirts (below the knee, even close to ankles with some skirts). Can I wear a duster with them?

Community Answer

Of course! You can wear dusters with long skirts. Make sure to choose the right color, material and the height of the duster. You can accessorize it with nice jewelry too!

Question

What can I wear with a sky blue duster?

Nico

Top Answerer

A medium length, cream-colored dress would go great with a baby/sky blue duster. Another option, is to wear a dark shirt with a pair of lighter colored jeans.

Question

Does the duster need to fit all the way around you or loosely at your sides?

Mary Beth Toca

Community Answer

The arms should fit well, and the length should work for your legs. A loose middle is okay, but if it bothers you, then try a ribbon or belt that matches.

Question

How do dusters look on heavy women?

Morgan Brandr

Community Answer

It really depends how you style them. Wearing a shapeless or boxy duster could make a person look like a snowman. On the other hand, if you find one that accentuates your waist or one you can leave open to show your outfit, it can look really good. I would recommend a tailored duster or one with a belt.
