Like most trends, wearing a dress over jeans may seem difficult to execute but when trying to nail the trend, it's important to bear these 3 key points in mind.

Keep it light

The biggest fear when wearing dresses over jeans is that you will end up looking bulky. To avoid this, choose floaty lightweight frocks rather than anything too chunky and accessorise with delicate, ladylike shoes and bags. Stick to a skinny or straight-leg style, rather than a flare to keep the silhouette as simple as possible.

Try the look with an asymmetric hem

Styling frocks over trousers is all about maximalism so don't try and make it work with clean lines and neutral colours. Play around with longline blazers, bright hues, ankle-length denim and an asymmetric hem.

Go for classic tailoring

Pair a tailored, button-up frock with jeans for a chic contrast. The classic style of the dress will perfectly offset the denim and make for a seriously effortless look.
