Expect rich tones, expressive prints and subtle embellishments.
How to Wear Dries Van Noten Outerwear
For polished dressing, pair a tailored blazer with clean trousers or Dries Van Noten skirts. For casual wear, choose a relaxed coat layered with wide leg Dries Van Noten pants. For evening events, wear a coat over Dries Van Noten dresses for a look that feels modern and composed. In cooler seasons, match oversized silhouettes with boots or refined Dries Van Noten shoes. These combinations create depth without feeling forced.
The Considered Balance
Designer outerwear often leans either minimal or decorative. Dries Van Noten balances both. The jackets and coats offer design character without sacrificing wearability. They hold their own against brands known for tailoring while maintaining a distinct artistic identity.
