Ways to style the Dress-Over-Pants trend

Wearing dress over pants, or layering in general, has been a major element in my personal style. It just looks cool and instantly makes an outfit more interesting.

But before that, if you aren't familiar with the trend, allow me to enlighten you. Here's a quick recap: In the peak of Y2K fashion, many celebs of the time were pairing sequins fit and flare skirts over bootcut denim or long baby doll dresses over skinny jeans. This look was not for the faint of heart - and still might not be a style for everyone. Here me out, there’re ways to go about this trend and look effortless instead of mismatched.

⸍꙳ try a monochromatic look — keep the two pieces in the same color family. It’ll give the illusion that the pieces belong with each other. Finally, keep the accessories really minimal so the look is the focus.

⸍꙳ for those who've been eyeing the strategic minimalism trend, a beige knitted dress paired with similar colorway trousers is the perfect thoughtfully simplistic ensemble.

⸍꙳ you truly cannot go wrong with a matching set. It’s encouraged to pair two pieces of different fabric — mine will be silk + cotton. Team a luxe long shirt with its matching trouser counterpart for an easy, breezy, and elegant ensemble.
