Once upon a time, dresses over pants were a definite fashion no-no, something only a kindergartner would think up. Except this season, Riccardo Tisci and Karl Lagerfeld (about as far as you can get from elementary schoolers) both adopted the idea. Models walked the runway in long layers inspiring us to test drive the look even before the clothes hit stores. It couldn’t be more perfect timing considering winter is still lingering, we’re anxious to revamp our wardrobes and can’t stop dreaming of the fun dresses that we usually wear most comfortably bare-legged in the spring.  It’s the best of both worlds, pretty but warm, and young but modern. Take a click through our tips on how to wear this runway trend.

How to wear a dress over pants

Skinny pants and a mini dress: When a mini just isn’t appropriate (be it weather or a conservative crowd) test the waters with a skinny pant and dress combo like in this J.W. Anderson look. Keep your leg-wear slim to allow definition between the dress hugging your hips and your pants.
