Apron Pants

On a Star: True, Kendall made headlines when she stepped out in some apron pants, but Beyoncé did it first, rocking this design by 3.1 Phillip Lim nearly eight months ago. Both stars proved this wasn't just a trend we'd spot on the runway — this layered look is completely wearable.

In Real Life: This look is a great way to switch up your everyday routine of pants vs. skirt and works for nearly every body type, from long and lean to short and curvy. You can also DIY a pair yourself by layering pieces you already have in your wardrobe.

Layered Skirts and Skorts

On a Star: While we've known about skorts since the '90s, we're ready to embrace its just-as-chic and stylish cousin, the layered skirt. After Taylor Swift's daring Grammys dress, Girls star Zosia Mamet stepped out in a more casual option during NYFW, showing us that it can work well beyond award shows and formal events.
