Best ways to style skirts over pants
This just in: skirts over pants are making a comeback. From the comeback of low-rise bottoms to the resurgence of jorts, it’s clear that many Gen Zs are embracing that nostalgic vibe. This season’s trend revival features playful layering styles reminiscent of the early 2000s.
You might remember your favourite Disney Channel icons like Miley Cyrus and Ashley Tisdale dazzling us with their skirts-over-pants looks. Now, you can join in on the fun with the trend’s return by exploring these different styling options.
1. Pleated skirts over pants
A preppy and classy outfit with a twist.
While a pleated mini skirt is essential for completing any preppy look, its classic silhouette makes it a flattering and versatile option if you want to try this layering trend. For those who prefer a more edgy and sophisticated vibe, layering a pair of denim jeans or tailored trousers underneath the skirt will add an unexpected twist to your fit.
2. Midi skirts over pants
A great layering look for colder weather.
If you have a year-end trip planned to a colder destination, you might want to save these fits for some fashion inspo. While layering with leggings or tights is common for wearing shorter styles abroad, consider swapping them out for jeans or tailored pants. This not only keeps you warm but also adds a unique element to your look, making your outfit stand out even in chilly weather.
3. Wrap skirts over baggy denim jeans
A comfortable skirt option with denim jeans.
Featuring an entirely adjustable waistband, a wrap skirt is undoubtedly one of the most comfortable skirt options available. If that’s the skirt you’re looking to layer, pair it with a pair of baggy jeans. The contrast between the denim and the flowy silhouette a wrap skirt offers is where it’s at.
4. Skirts over sweatpants
A comfortable and laid back look.
For added comfort, swap your denim jeans for a pair of sweatpants. Layering a skirt over a pair of sweatpants can help you achieve an effortless look that is both comfortable and stylish—good for those laid-back days.
