Queen Rania of Jordan has offered us quite a few styling tips [1] over the years, but this move might be our favorite. When she spoke at Goalkeepers 2017 at Lincoln Center in New York City, the Queen of Jordan wore a white embroidered shirt dress with an asymmetrical hemline — all the better to see her doily-stitched pencil skirt that peeked out from underneath.
While the royal's white leather belt and black pumps [2] helped to polish things off, it was her layering trick that proved most noteworthy. Throwing on a long printed skirt or formfitting dress under a light Summer piece makes your outfit work-appropriate during the Fall season [3]. Surely this is a trick we can all employ — just look for a high-low dress that would reveal enough inches of your undergarment. We've done the hard work and rounded up some examples ahead.
