5 Looks That’ll Convince You to Wear a Dress Over Pants

We all have that one dress we wear over and over because we love it so much. Tired of wearing it the same way? Mix up your dress look by adding pants underneath. You might think this is a ridiculous concept, but trust us; it’s a thing. Let these outfits below convince you.

1. Eco-friendly and edgy


It’s no surprise that Emma Watson is a style icon, so take note! Not only was her outfit completely sustainable, but she totally rocked the dress over pants look at the Met Gala. She also sported a similar look at the 2014 Golden Globes.

2. Tailored and sophisticated


Olivia Palermo’s simple off-the-shoulder dress gives her tailored pants a feminine feel. This look puts a new spin on LBD!

3. Monochromatic


We can’t get over how cool this outfit looks! The dramatic top piece makes this fashionista look like a superhero. 

4. Revamping denim


What better way to rock your favorite dress and pair of skinnies in one look? Adding a dress over jeans can immediately make any casual outfit look glam.

5. Fitted pants and midi


A slitted midi makes the perfect dress for this trend! Throw on a pair of heels and your favorite pair of pants and you’re set.

Whether fitted or loose, shift dress or mini dress, your favorite dress just got a lot cooler with a pair of pants added to the mix!
