Layering is one part of styling that has always remained in trend. Perhaps the best part of layering is mixing various elements together. Basically, we all know the minimal ways of layering that involves wearing tees, denims, blazers or skirts with sweaters. But these tricks are mostly reserved for the warmer months. But don’t you think there should be a layering trick for summer too and which also meet the trend? In point of fact, you can achieve that with the coolest pair up of dresses and trousers.
This fashion idea can also be more office appropriate than wearing a dress. And you can still remain comfortable and chic. Other than that, you can pull off your unlimited line of dress and create various combinations. You can pair this cool pair up with heels or without.
Dresses over trousers are in sync with the trend and these celebrities know how to work the trend. Just like how Shraddha Kapoor pulled off for her dress and pant combination with knee-high boots or Anushka Sharma’s took off with her casual teaming. You can take inspiration from the versatility that these celebrities have shown through this visual treat.

- If you want to pair a shorter dress, then you should go for cropped trousers. This can make a bold statement without trying too hard
- You can wear your favorite summer dress with your denims as well. This relaxed attire can give out an effortless vibe
- To bring about a playful balance, wear wide trousers paired with a well-fitted midi-dress. You can experiment with different styles, until you find the desired look
- For an interesting and well-balanced look, you can mix various classy elements together. Whether it is choosing skinny denims and frayed denims with ruffled or silk dresses. All these pieces can come together to make your look more appealing
- Pick a trouser with a well-streamlined cut. Avoid wearing an overtly embellished trouser underneath a dress to avoid lines and wrinkles
- Accessories are essential to complete your look. Choose corset belts if you feel your dress falls too straight on your waist. Also, choose statement earrings for completing your look.
- When it comes to footwear, you can choose between heels and flats. You can wear high heeled shoes for an evening look. Whereas choose to wear flat to keep it casual for a day time look
