The mid-seasons have taught us to dress in layers. A strategic ploy, this one, to protect us from the uncertain, dancing temperatures. But what happens when that layering becomes glamorous? Simply, a trend such as dresses over trousers is born.

No leggings and tights, but trousers or jeans to wear under short or very long dresses, as the latest trend skousers, that's the name, officially wants. Why we like it so much is quickly said: it allows us to create looks that are relaxed, comfortable, warm and also super fashionable. Let's discover all the outfits together.

Skousers, the 2000s trend that dominates winter 2024

The skousers trend for winter 2024 is not new to fashion addicts. Those who lived through the glorious 2000s will certainly remember the fashion that saw dresses and trousers overlapping: skirt + trousers, in fact.

And it is precisely this trend, never forgotten by the most nostalgic, which is back in vogue this autumn and which is destined to dominate the entire cold season. This game of juxtapositions, in fact, is so popular that after seeing it on the catwalk, it quickly spread to street style.

And we like it, because in addition to giving a relaxed feel to the whole look, it is warm, comfortable and super stylish: in short, perfect for leisure time. There are so many combinations that we are spoilt for choice.

By mixing and matching with everything we have in our wardrobe, in fact, we can create so many styles that are always different and suitable for an infinite number of occasions. But which are the best matches to make this winter?

As we have already mentioned, the choice is really wide: you can match a pair of jeans with a short dress and trainers for a comfortable and casual look, or choose flared trousers with a midi dress for an urban chic outfit. Or play with shades, fabrics and colours.

Clothes over trousers: when and how to wear them

Social feeds are inspiring: just scroll through them to find ideas for our looks to be created with dresses over trousers. However, in the trend of overlapping, there are no rules. So the advice is to be inspired by creativity and to customise the outfit according to your character and, why not, even your mood.

If what you want is to create a super-comfortable all-day look for smart working or running errands in the city, then we recommend a pair of jeans to go with a turtleneck knit dress. Complement this with trainers or ugg boots - this way you have a comfy outfit that will keep you company from morning to night.

If, on the other hand, you have the desire to show off a more sophisticated, elegant and refined look, then we recommend you opt for a chemisier dress to wear over flared trousers. This way you will have the perfect glamorous outfit for dinners with friends, city walks and aperitifs.

If you then want to give the look a touch of sensuality, then we suggest you put aside oversize, perfect for more relaxed moods, and opt for tight or slightly flared trousers and a super tight dress that enhances your silhouette and shows off your curves. If you still want to be daring, choose dresses with side slits.

Of course, don't forget to play with colours. You can wear dresses over trousers in the same shade, or have fun mixing different colours inspired by the seasonal palette.
