How To Wear A Dress Over Pants Like A Fashion Girl

Proper layering is the solution

how to wear dress over pants

Just when you think you've run out of options in your wardrobe, think again. Layering is the solution. Simply layer a dress—bandeau, asymmetrical, shirt-dress, high collared—over a pair of pants. To keep it streamlined and simple, opt for skinny jeans. But if you want something fashion forward and dramatic, try wide-legged pants, as seen at Céline. Keep accessories to a minimum, as this look is fabulous on its own. It's as easy as 1-2-3!
