You may think of wearing a statement coat in an unexpected way with pop-art coats that go well with any of your outfit like boyfriend jeans, pleated skirts, shift dresses, matching sets and such. But, leave these coats to your street style as they won’t suit your professional and smart looks at the office.

5. Dresses

Wearing a pop-art dress is a dramatic way of wearing the trend. Since it’s too much eye-catching and loud, better go for styles that add some personality to your looks without looking overly funky or quirky.
