How to Wear Dress-Over-Pants Y2K Summer Trend According to K-Celebs
A new interpretation of the old school Y2K trend has made a resurgence with these young stars at the forefront.
The resurgence of Y2K fashion has significantly influenced how people style their outfits, with the "dress over pants" trend emerging as a quintessential example. Millenials will be familiar with this trend, which seamlessly blends layering with depth, has gained popularity not only in Korea but also across many Western countries. Central to this style is the careful consideration of proportions. When selecting bottoms, opting for high-waisted pants can create the illusion of longer legs, enhancing the overall silhouette.
This versatile trend offers wearers a plethora of options to express their individuality. From A-line dresses to sheath and see-through designs, the choices are abundant, allowing for personalized and distinctive styling. We take a look at these combinations according to some of our favourite Korean celebrities below:
Printed Dress + Jeans
Icons like BLACKPINK's Rosé and Jessica Jung have embraced small floral dresses, exuding a gentle, feminine vibe that perfectly captures the essence of summer. Given the intricate nature of floral prints, pairing these dresses with simple, understated jeans helps to achieve a harmonious balance. This combination adds depth and detail while maintaining a polished and cohesive look.
Flared Skirt + Long Pants
A more recent iteration of the dress-over-pants trend features flared outer skirts. Pairing a basic t-shirt and jeans with a flared skirt introduces layers and texture to the ensemble. The interplay of different fabrics and colors adds richness and visual interest. For a light and airy feel, choose flared skirts in sheer materials like lace or chiffon to avoid overwhelming the outfit.
Lace Dress + Pants
This summer’s fashion emphasizes lightness and breathability, a sentiment echoed in the combination of lace dresses with long pants. A strapless dress crafted from delicate chiffon is both stylish and comfortable, offering a breezy elegance. For a more feminine touch, look to aespa’s Karina, who pairs a monochrome maxi dress with a high bun, embodying effortless sophistication.
