Forget western cowboy vibes, the feather trend is all about feminine, glamorous looks. I’ve always loved feathers, even before my showgirl days and I’m so happy this trend has made it back into fashion. Although more in the form of a black feather dress than showgirl costume.
How to wear the feather trend
I’ve already added feather pieces to my closet. As the more feminine and glam the better for me when it comes to fashion. It’s such a fun trend to play around with and feels a little retro chic.
If a feather dress or outfit’s too much plume for you and you’re not sure whether to take the risk, feather tops or clutches are a glam and pretty way to add this trend to your wardrobe.
You could also rent a feather dress like the white strapless one below from Fashionpass (use code EVE15 for $30 off) if you know you’ll probably only wear it once. I found that it ran true to size, wearing my normal XS.

If you’re looking for a luxe for less style, LPA’s best selling black feather dress is a bargain dress under $150. It’s such a glamorous and elegant style for a holiday party. A white feather dress is another beautiful option, I love white for both Summer and Winter for a clean, elegant look.

How to style feather tops
Feather tops may not be the most practical, try to find ones that don’t need dry-cleaning! However, they are definitely super cute statement pieces that are fun to wear. They’re also a great alternative to feather dresses.
Style them with:
- Jeans to add a glam touch to an otherwise casual outfit.
- Leather pants and heels for a night out.
- A trending mini skirt for an ultra glam look.
- Coordinating pants for a cohesive look.
- Layer over dresses.
I appreciate the longer length feathers on this crop top for covering a little more skin but still giving the appearance of a crop top. From fun colorful styles to neutrals, this is such a fun trend to play around with. The top I’m wearing is in my normal size and under $200. It also doesn’t need dry-cleaning, it’s hand wash, which is a major bonus.
Best feather pants & skirts to be seen wearing in this season
Feather pants and skirts give a feminine edge to any of your outfits. You can create more looks with them than just a black feather dress. They’re such a pretty style and easy to dress up with a bralette or corset top. For a more casual look style them with a button down shirt, t-shirt or simple silk cami.
Jumpsuits are still in style. If you don’t want to have to think about what to style with feather tops and bottoms then jumpsuits are the way to go.
Feather bags & shoes
If you’re looking for a glam accessory for your casual or dressy outfits, feather bags are a cute option. Whether you’re wanting it to go with your dress or simply to dress up a pair of jeans and heels.
I love them for adding a feminine touch to wedding guest outfits or for adding a statement piece to a holiday party dress. Just be sure to keep your plume shoes away from your cats!
What to style your Feather dresses and Winter wardrobe with.
Don’t be afraid to take risks with this trend and play with the look from dressy to casual. A feather dress is definitely a statement piece if you’re looking for something that’s fashion forward for this winter or holiday parties. Just don’t wear the look from head to toe unless you’re auditioning for Sesame Street, one feather piece mixed with other textures in your outfit is perfect.
