It was only a matter of time before the dress over jeans combination popped up again on street style stars. This tried-and-true uniform can be reworked every season by incorporating the newest trends. Think a deconstructed ruffle dress with fringe denim or a sheer dress over skinny jeans. We never get tired of seeing these different outfit iterations and, now, neither will you.
We predict fashion girls will be wearing this look on repeat come Fall. To get ahead of the game, we rounded up all the ways you can master the two-piece combination right now. Scroll on for some street style inspiration, then shop the pieces you need to re-create your favorite looks.
Ease into the dress and jeans combo by starting with a simple, neutral option. Natalie Cantell gave her look a pop of color with metallic gold mules.
Instead of wearing a top with your denim on denim look, layer in a dress. It’s a good way to break up the similar blue tones in your outfit.
You already know how to do the T-shirt and maxi dress combo. Take it one step further with a pair of blue skinny jeans and complete the look with a trench coat and bracelet bag.
If the thought of letting your undergarments show in a sheer dress makes you uncomfortable, we suggest wearing it with a pair of frayed jeans.
Thinking of a way to re-wear your wedding guest dress? Slip on a pair of jeans and booties for a more casual take.
Leave the tights in the drawer. A pair of tapered skinny jeans works just as well with a knit dress for cooler weather.
It’s almost too easy to style a shirt dress with jeans, which is why we love this particular ensemble.
Skinny jeans helps tone down a fancy dress with ruffles and asymmetrical cuts.
To re-create this look from Johanna Ortiz's resort collection, you'll need a pair of fringed denim and a crisp white collared shirt dress. We'd style it with a basket bag and sandals.
Unfasten the bottom buttons of your maxi dress to let the blue denim peek through.
A pair of jeans prevents potential wardrobe malfunctions when the slit of your dress is too high.
Turn your Summer dress into a Fall look by layering a sheer bodysuit and a pair of hemmed jeans underneath. Cover up with a puffer jacket for the ultimate street style look.
So your maxi dress has a zipper? We dare you to zip it only halfway down so you can style it with low-rise jeans, an over-the-shoulder top, and chunky platforms.
Instead of wearing your dress with blue denim, switch it up with a white pair. This street style star made it look effortless with her paisley-printed dress and plaid coat.
This outfit's supereasy to re-create. Start with your favorite white tee and jeans combo, then wear your favorite dress over it. A pair of classic mules or loafers completes the look.
Anyone can rock a minidress, but fashion stylist Liz Uly made it street style worthy by wearing her Christopher Kane number with a long-sleeved shirt and Acne jeans. Eye-catching accessories like a Louis Vuitton bag and Giuseppe Zanotti heels completed the outfit.
The next time you think about wearing your LBD, consider giving it the model treatment (like Jihye Park did) with a pair of wide leg jeans and slides.
