Wearing a dress over pants isn’t a new trend but it’s an incredibly chic, and impressive, to know how to pair up the two. Emma Watson’s Golden Globes 2014 is the perfect example of just how fashion-forward the pairing can look and how the combo can be worn at any time of the day. Whether you’re going into the office or an art gallery at night, check out these tips to get the dress and pants look right.
Start out with a short length dress. Pairing up these two pieces can be somewhat confusing but starting out small will at least make you feel more comfortable wearing them together. A tunic or a short dress is perfect if you’re just starting out because it’ll feel more like a long shirt rather than a dress. Once you feel more comfortable, go longer!
Playing with proportions. If you’re wearing a looser dress it’s important to keep the pants a little tighter to avoid looking lost in the clothes. Leather or skinny jeans work perfectly for a loose dress but tuxedo pants are also great option especially if you’re going to a more formal event. But if you want your pants to be looser and the dress tighter, we recommend wearing a sheer or lace dress for a modern, trendier twist.
Keep accessories to a minimum. Your dress and pants are already doing most of the talking so if you if you were looking to add color or something bold, go for a solid colored clutch in an eye catching color.
