i love getting questions from my readers...so keep sending them in...while this one made me think of my younger days...when my mom used to dress me with a dress over pants...although i don't think she was going for a stylish look...more so for a warmth & coverage look... =)
Q: what is the "right" way to wear a dress over pants?
A: i actually love this look...and have posted some wonderful pics of women doing it right...here are some tips...
- proportion...for the length of the dress (or skirt) the most flattering would hit you about mid thigh...you can go longer depending on your height...but for most women - the longer hemlines will overwhelm your frame...this would work as in the first picture...because the bottom half of the dress is black as are the pants...so the line is long and lean...
- the dress...should be fitted...and the more simple the dress - the better this look plays off...you don't want to have bulkiness all around the dress...not flattering on most...
- the pants...pants should be fitted...think skinny jeans/cigarette pants...but boot cut or flared bottoms will work as well...but the thigh down to about below the knee should be pretty fitted...to pull off this look...
hope this helps! i have tried to show a variety of pics from going dressy to a casual bohemian look...
