Oh ManRepeller. She always knows what to wear to turn the boys away from the yard. If you want to partake in some manrepelling and dress for the transition to warm weather then try the dress-over-pants look.
This style was made popular in the 90’s with the resurgence of baby doll dresses, and was seen on the spring runways of Kenzo, Jonathan Anderson, Proenza Schouler and more. Key to wearing this new layered look is to think streamlined and sophisticated. Keep your pants or denim as fitted as possible to avoid looking frumpy.
