“What is a Duster? ~ A loose, lightweight full-length coat without buttons. The name “duster” came from way back in the 1920s when ladies traveling in open cars used dusters as light jackets to protect their clothing garments from dust.”
Dusters are one of my favorite wardrobe pieces for transitioning Summer Styles into Fall Looks. For example, with my outfit, I took a white, strapless, Summer bodycon dress, and layered it with a cute, colorful duster, and my look is instantly ready to transition to Fall. Dusters are great for those in between seasons when it’s too hot for a jacket or coat, but you need a light added layer.
When it comes to styling, you can wear a duster with cut off shorts, skirts, leggings, jeans, or a dress. Your options are literally endless because dusters are such a versatile piece that you can dress up or dress down with practically anything.
Because I love bold prints and colors, I selected a duster designed by an African Designer named Charlene Dunbar, who is the designer behind the brand Suakoko Betty. Charlene’s collection is full of bold and beautiful African inspired designs. Check out her full collection of dusters below.
Thank me later!
