The Veronica Beard Jacket Edit: The Blazers & Dickey Styles Worth Knowing

A Veronica Beard Dickey jacket is a tailored jacket designed to be layered with a Dickey, the interchangeable insert that sits under the lapels and gives one blazer several looks. Veronica Miele Beard and Veronica Swanson Beard launched the brand in 2010 with this idea, and it is still the label's signature.

 

Which Veronica Beard blazers work with Dickey inserts

The styles that carry Dickey in the retailer name are the clearest place to start: the Miller Dickey blazer, the Severine Dickey plush-trimmed crepe jacket, the Silversmith Dickey padded tweed jacket, the Isaac Dickey crepe blazer, the Lazaro Dickey twill jacket, the Laramie Dickey sequin and bead-embellished twill jacket and the Griselda Dickey plush coat. Check each product page for exactly what comes with the jacket before you buy.

The Miller is a double-breasted blazer with a row of metal buttons, which is what separates it from a single-breasted style such as the Wryllen single-breasted blazer. The Miller double-breasted blazer in black and in brown are the classic versions, and the Miller Dickey blazer is the one made for layering with an insert.

 

The Tilbury herringbone blazer, the Orrin plaid blazer and the Livvy cotton corduroy blazer show how far the tailoring goes in texture. For evening, the Cynthia satin blazer and the Issel velvet blazer are the dressy options, and the Turnell cropped jacket is the shorter, more casual cut. The Wardrobe edit shows how to wear them with trousers.

Veronica Beard does tweed in the collarless, cardigan-style way, and the Blanche tweed jacket, the Cyrene tweed blazer and the Sariyah cropped tweed jacket are the three I would look at first. They sit well over a slip dress or with straight trousers.

 

For more drama, the Bodie floral jacquard jacket, the Bancroff sequined tie-neck jacket and the Severine Prince of Wales check jacket are the statement pieces. The Raelynn cotton-blend velvet blazer adds soft texture, and the Knoll gathered Fair Isle fleece-trimmed cotton-twill jacket is the casual, patterned option for weekends.

The suede and leather jackets are where the Veronica Beard wardrobe gets richest. The Maci suede blazer, the Healy suede blazer and the Oria double-breasted suede jacket are tailored in leather-soft suede, and the Silversmith leather jacket is the sharper, more casual layer.

 

For colder days, the Varrell reversible jacket gives you two looks in one, the Molyneux crepe jacket is a lighter military-style layer, and the Philips wool and cashmere-blend jacket is the soft, structured one. The Laurent checked wool-blend twill coat is the longest piece here and covers a full outfit. You can pair any of these with the Denim Edit.

Pick the jacket by the job it needs to do. A Dickey blazer is for days when you want one jacket to read two ways, a tweed jacket is for dressing up denim, and a suede blazer is for the days you want the outfit to feel finished with nothing else added.

 

If you are new to the label, start with the Miller and wear it open over a simple knit. From there, the New Arrivals edit, the Dress Edit and the Shoe Edit show what to add.
