It might sound intimidating at first, but wearing a dress over skinny jeans is easier to pull off than you may think. It also one of the most flattering options if you are conscious about your hips or belly. When I was pregnant I used to wear maternity dresses over black skinnies as an alternative to opaque thighs.
According to Teen Vogue, the key to rocking the dress-over-jeans look is to embrace layers, play with textures, and pay extra mind to color palettes and prints. For an effortlessly chic outfit, stick with neutrals, such as black, white, and camel. The muted tones will blend together, eliminating harsh lines where the dress ends and the skinny jeans begin and ensuring your look is a surefire hit. (Photo source: Pinterest)

With their tapered silhouette, skinny jeans naturally draw the eye downward. So, to make your shoes the star of the show, Glamour suggests keeping the rest of your outfit classic with a white button-down shirt and reaching for a pair of statement heels. This look is ideal for a laidback night out with the girls or a fun afternoon date with your significant other. (Photo source: Pinterest)

In the past, layered denim might have been considered a bit of a fashion faux pas, but this season, denim-on-denim is a definite style do. The one rule to follow when mixing and matching your denim pieces? Make sure your top and bottom feature contrasting washes. For example, pair a light blue chambray button-up with skinny jeans in a darker shade of blue. (Photo source: Pinterest)

Cuff the Hems
For an updated take on the skinny jean, try cuffing the hem to create an ankle-length silhouette. If you’d rather not tailor your pants into a permanent skimmer, don’t worry about it. More suggests faking the on-trend cropped length by tucking your hems inside until you hit the desired length, which should be just above the anklebone, then pair with a stylish shoe (such as the menswear-inspired lace-up oxfords).
