If you thought the dress-over-trouser trend had stayed firmly in the noughties, think again.
Designers including Victoria Beckham, Loewe, Balmain, Jil Sander and Jacquemus have slowly, but surely, revived the look on the catwalks in recent seasons.
Elsewhere, celebrities like Rihanna and Bella Hadid have given the outfit combo some serious sartorial power, putting the ensemble back on style scene for 2019.
Whether you're thinking of trying the look for a relaxed office outfit or a serious night out, here are four tried and tested ways to work the tricky layering trend.
Same shade from head-to-toe
Zendaya is never afraid to experiment with her style, a point proved when the actress stepped out in New York wearing a semi-sheer white patterned dress and matching trousers by Peter Do.
A winning combination.
Slip + suit
Bella Hadid meant business when she paired a pistachio MM6 Maison Margiela slip dress over an office-appropriate grey suit in New York City.
An effective new way to jazz up your work wardrobe? We think so.
Toughen up a button-up
Jacquemus' 10th anniversary show was Instagram gold. From the lavender field backdrop to the unique collection, the show was a triumph.
Taking holiday outfit inspiration to another level, the French designer paired an unbuttoned fluorescent pink dress with contrasting orange cargo pants for a refreshing take on a summer classic.
Dress Over Denim
If in doubt, simply throw on a pair of jeans under your fave summer dress, à la RiRi.
The combination is a fail-safe way to achieve a low-key look. Here, Rihanna champions a sheer cami dress over a pair of mom jeans for instant cool girl vibes.
