How to Wear a Skirt Over Pants or a Dress

A new trend has emerged in the fashion world and its name is: wearing skirt over pants/dress. I have seen lots of fashion editors, bloggers and other street stars wearing dresses over pants. I know, it sounds odd, but believe me, this quirky trend is seen all over the streets. There are so many fabulous looks of girls and ladies layering trousers under dresses. This look can be seen everywhere now, starting from runways to Instagram and Pinterest. I am happy to bring you my personal compilation of ladies layering their bottoms in everyday life.

I am absolutely in love with these awesome ways how we can layer our bottoms this year. As you can see, there are great pairing of iridescent skirts with taffeta pants, tulle gowns paired with jeans, etc. It’s all about layers. When was the last time you wore a skirt over pants? This year you will update your look drastically, by layering your trousers with fantastic dresses and skirts. You can either make a monochrome look by matching your dress to pants, or you can add peplum dress or skirt over your favorite trousers for a chic glamour touch. There are fabulous styles of midi skirts styled with tailored pants. Personally, I like to wear tunics paired with jeans and booties for spring weekends. Anyway, let’s have a closer look at these images and choose our favorites, okay?

  1. Funny story. I was out shopping for new clothes today, and found a really cool short denim skirt. I was in a rush so I tried it on over my skinny jeans, and was like WOW when I looked in the mirror! The shop assistant “wowed” with me big time, and I told her this is my new look! Absolutely dead cool! And then I read this!! Made my day. Thank you. -Sissel
