Hi Leonie, I’m glad you brought up the dresses over pants trend again. I’m going to pull out my dresses and play around with that concept, could be great for going into the Fall season!
Dress girl here! And dress over the pants has grown on me when I frame it like wearing a trench coat: my favs in this video were the green dress with jeans and white floral dress and the one with the plaid bottom. Appreciate the video 🎉❤
Dresses Over Pants success depends on the combination of fabrics that slide over each other and hang well. Wide leg pants seem more up tote than narrow legs. I take inspiration from traditional Indian layers and printed silks with great colors. On the quirky side, Korean men's tuxedos are a less draped and more modern source of inspiration .
I wear dresses almost every day. I love dresses and skirts. I don’t go by trends, I go by what I like and what suits my body type. 🥰 But your suggestions are interesting.
Love these, especially over the pants. I wear a lot like that. It’s easy, gives more casual edgy look to the dresses that are little bit too much. Sheer dresses , pairing with longer , above knees jacket or vest . Have a blessed day🙏❤️
I have lived through most of these styles 1 or 2 times at least!! I loved loved Mary Quant . Her mini dresses in color block and mustard tights were everything way back. She even brought out the cropped wide leg "short" pant. Like right below the knee.and our favorite Frye boots! Such good stuff. I love the very long shirt dresses (opened part way down) with a fuller straight leg jean. When all this stuff comes around again and again we at least are in the days of putting our own style on them. We have come a long way and it is freedom to express and feel good with our choices. Dresses are a win for me , too, Leonie. Thanks again, Cheryl
I actually had never stopped wearing pants under dresses. It balances quite well my Y shape. Going now even for narrow flare legs to give even more volume to my lower half.
Hi, somehow your dress reminds me of Morticia Addams. But it certainly looks good on you. I love dresses, because I don’t have to figure out how to match the top and bottom. It is simple, and all I need are just the accessories, bag and shoes and I am good to go.
Love the dress over pants idea,I think it goes well if you're a tall woman that way, it won't appear to be 'too much 'or frumpy'.A stripe shirt dress,is always a must have in summer.With fringe,I'm on the fence,I would much prefer a long (maxi) fringe skirt,and where it as a dress occasionally!!Have a lovely week,you wonderful soul!!👗👗👗👗👗💗💗💗💗
Hmm, dresses over pants trended a while ago and didn't take hold. Is it only wide leg pants? I do like the look with slim pants or leggings. You look so elegant in this video my dear, stunning.
It's what poor people used to wear to just be warm...so the 'trend' is to look like a homeless person wearing everything you own??? Nah, it doesn't even look good!! And what's with the huge 'ballon' sized dresses!??😮
It’s been a longstanding tradition type wear in places like India where I’ve seen the women with a wide legged linen pant with a longer tunic and it looks really nice as an outfit. But to just go put on some jeans and then a random dress on top is too much for me. Besides I live in hot as hell W. Texas where we live by the motto of less is best. Layering isn’t an option during the summer
I remember in the 90’s seeing an older lady in a coastal town wearing a long sleeveless tunic over wide legged white pants. The tunic was about calf length. I thought she looked fantastic, and I’ve looked very favorably on dress/tunic over pants ever since. ❤ Before then I’d only associated dress over pants with the 80’s.
Hehe, I have always liked «dresses over pants» 😝 I do wear them like that quite often in spring or when it is cool in summer, I never cared much about what others might think about my styling though 😂
I’m sorry it’s hot enough this summer. Why would I wear pants with a dress on? 🤔 isn’t it like wearing longjohns and with a dress in the middle of summer. 😵💫 I guess I’m very unfashionable person‘s opinion. 😂 Thank you for the fashion with dresses❤
She was talking about transitioning to fall (Autumn) when it does get cooler. I wore leggings and skinny jeans under a full skirted long sleeved denim dress (fabric was flowy not stiff) with knee high boots. You couldn’t see the jeans, and it added a layer of warmth in winter. And extended the dress season for this girly gal who loves flowy dresses!
I've gravitated towards dresses in the last couple of years. They're still not the dominant attire, but they're certainly taking more wardrobe space than before. Largely because they work hard and it's easy, one and done, but I also have high expectations of them meaning I am a lot more fussy. The dress over trousers is a delicate balance, IMO. The combination of materials and proportions means there's a lot to consider and potential to go wrong hence why I believe it's a hard sell. My favs from your examples are delicate dresses with high slits with tougher materials for trousers and shirt dresses which I've worn in the past as I've not always been comfortable with the length and wanted to retain some modesty. For practical reasons, someone once told me at work, she always wears dresses as it's less washing and ironing end of the week 😅
Oooh I bought a few beautiful linen shirts and tops from DeCuba when I was in Sydney in January this year (sales were on) and thought they had some lovely pieces. Also, they had some clearance outlets in one of the huge shopping centres over there. They do like black and white in particular I remember ……
The only way I love love dresses over pants is when the dress or long jacket and pants are the same material and color! That to me looks really classy and I’m 5’11” tall so it looks really good on me. I don’t like the look if it’s mix matched then it just looks frumpy
Thanks for the new video Leonie and a very interesting topis. As a answer at your question: I´m still looking for my perfect fringe dress. /Marie from Sweden
I'm clearly out of the demo with the sheer (almost indecent in public) dresses -- totally a no for me! I could possibly get with the Grecian style dresses. Lastly, the fringe skirts/dresses --I don't love them, saw one I could tolerate but some just remind me of the car wash!😂🙏🏾✌🏾
Shirt dresses and certain tunic like dresses make sense over jeans. (Aka longer versions of shirts and longer version of t-shirt styles, cultures that were tunics over trouser do this anyway) But the full on actual dresses on jeans... Too much. Like a purposeless extra layer solely to be trendy and turn heads but no other meaning. Doesn't seem organic.🤔
I've worn dresses over pants for years. I'm tall and dresses are often too short, revealing more than I'd like. So pants, or sometimes a wide legging underneath, finish the look and make me feel more comfortable.
Hello lovely Leonie, when you show pictures of various trends, e.g. dresses over pants, could you please find pix that are less wacky? They always seem to be a bit extreme, like in the examples you showed. I don't know anyone who dresses in such an eccentric (clownish) way. You like trends a lot but the average person is a bit less adventurous and I can only think of one picture of dresses over pants that was wearable, chic nd didn't look like an attention-seeker way of wearing this trend. Most people like simplicity. Thank you.
Thanks for your comment but to be honest finding pics is the hardest part of what I do and it's almost impossible to find exactly what I want - esp when i'm talking about trends that haven't arrived yet. But I'll always try my best to help illustrate my points x
@@TeaSipperEsq. Entering the chat 3 wks later 😊 Most of us are also able to identify runway images (like some of the sheer, draped and fringed styles shown here). Plus the models and attendees at Fashion Week shows photographed for 'Street Style'. They are there to wear a designer's clothes and be photographed (whether they're fashion editors, actors, influencers etc). I enjoy seeing Leonie's trend pics. They plant ideas about color, silhouette ..... and help focus on pieces already in my closet.👏
I think when you use the word “brave” in connection to a trend, it basically means that it looks crazy. These dresses over pants look clownish. I am assuming these images are staged(?)
@@Thestyleinsider.I have always found your ability to provide information for the world, as a special and unique gift! How you are able to do this in a timely way is from your knowledge, experience and just your talent. We appreciate you, so much Leonie!
