I have to say this : you look absolutely beautiful in this video!! You always do aging gracefully and gorgeous!!!!

Hi Leonie, I’m glad you brought up the dresses over pants trend again. I’m going to pull out my dresses and play around with that concept, could be great for going into the Fall season!

I love your Ootd Beautiful dress with bell sleeves Great choices 😊

You look wonderful in that lovely black dress Léonie. Black really suits you!

Dress girl here! And dress over the pants has grown on me when I frame it like wearing a trench coat: my favs in this video were the green dress with jeans and white floral dress and the one with the plaid bottom. Appreciate the video 🎉❤

Dresses Over Pants success depends on the combination of fabrics that slide over each other and hang well. Wide leg pants seem more up tote than narrow legs. I take inspiration from traditional Indian layers and printed silks with great colors. On the quirky side, Korean men's tuxedos are a less draped and more modern source of inspiration .

I prefer a bold hosiery pattern over the pants-under-dresses thing… less clunky, but allows dresses to be in your year-round rotation.

I agree with your statement on denim ❤ Classic won’t go out of style if you feel good in it.

It’s ‘summer’ all year round where I’m from and i dress modestly. This is the video i needed ❤

I wear dresses almost every day. I love dresses and skirts. I don’t go by trends, I go by what I like and what suits my body type. 🥰 But your suggestions are interesting.

Loved all the photos Leonie !! I love the versatility of dresses so much. So feminine and flattering!! Thank you Barb

Love these, especially over the pants. I wear a lot like that. It’s easy, gives more casual edgy look to the dresses that are little bit too much. Sheer dresses , pairing with longer , above knees jacket or vest . Have a blessed day🙏❤️

I like the dress over pants look. It reminds me of clothing from India

I have lived through most of these styles 1 or 2 times at least!! I loved loved Mary Quant . Her mini dresses in color block and mustard tights were everything way back. She even brought out the cropped wide leg "short" pant. Like right below the knee.and our favorite Frye boots! Such good stuff. I love the very long shirt dresses (opened part way down) with a fuller straight leg jean. When all this stuff comes around again and again we at least are in the days of putting our own style on them. We have come a long way and it is freedom to express and feel good with our choices. Dresses are a win for me , too, Leonie. Thanks again, Cheryl

I actually had never stopped wearing pants under dresses. It balances quite well my Y shape. Going now even for narrow flare legs to give even more volume to my lower half.

love the sleek hair with the messy bun. opposites attract!!!

I lve Tank n Crotchet dresses too.

As a petite woman, I only have 1-tier dresses, more can shorten me and also can make me look like a child

Leoni I wonder if you'll do an accessories and eye wear trends for 2024/2025

Hi, somehow your dress reminds me of Morticia Addams. But it certainly looks good on you. I love dresses, because I don’t have to figure out how to match the top and bottom. It is simple, and all I need are just the accessories, bag and shoes and I am good to go.

Wish everywhere was safe enough to walk around with phone out

Awesome video !!! 👗👗👗 100% for dress over pants 💜

Love the dress over pants idea,I think it goes well if you're a tall woman that way, it won't appear to be 'too much 'or frumpy'.A stripe shirt dress,is always a must have in summer.With fringe,I'm on the fence,I would much prefer a long (maxi) fringe skirt,and where it as a dress occasionally!!Have a lovely week,you wonderful soul!!👗👗👗👗👗💗💗💗💗

Black looks great on you Queen. 🥰

You look magnificent. I love everything about this look on you. Your set is captivating as well. ❤

I definitely am not closed minded to new trends but the “dress over pants” are a no. It just looks strange. Maybe a monochromatic look might be ok.

I’m loving the see through dresses and always a fan of baby doll❤❤

You look especially beautiful in this video.

Good video as always! However, I really think the dress over pants thing will not take off. I personally think it’s a very stupid look.

Thanks for the new video Leonie and a very interesting topis. As a answer at your question: I´m still looking for my perfect fringe dress. /Marie from Sweden

Hmm, dresses over pants trended a while ago and didn't take hold. Is it only wide leg pants? I do like the look with slim pants or leggings. You look so elegant in this video my dear, stunning.

Loved all styles of dresses. 😊😇

I don't like fringe and see through dresses. I love long dresses the most.

Hehe, I have always liked «dresses over pants» 😝 I do wear them like that quite often in spring or when it is cool in summer, I never cared much about what others might think about my styling though 😂

I'm clearly out of the demo with the sheer (almost indecent in public) dresses -- totally a no for me! I could possibly get with the Grecian style dresses. Lastly, the fringe skirts/dresses --I don't love them, saw one I could tolerate but some just remind me of the car wash!😂🙏🏾✌🏾

Oooh I bought a few beautiful linen shirts and tops from DeCuba when I was in Sydney in January this year (sales were on) and thought they had some lovely pieces. Also, they had some clearance outlets in one of the huge shopping centres over there. They do like black and white in particular I remember ……

I’m sorry it’s hot enough this summer. Why would I wear pants with a dress on? 🤔 isn’t it like wearing longjohns and with a dress in the middle of summer. 😵‍💫 I guess I’m very unfashionable person‘s opinion. 😂 Thank you for the fashion with dresses❤

love fringe!!

The only way I love love dresses over pants is when the dress or long jacket and pants are the same material and color! That to me looks really classy and I’m 5’11” tall so it looks really good on me. I don’t like the look if it’s mix matched then it just looks frumpy

I've gravitated towards dresses in the last couple of years. They're still not the dominant attire, but they're certainly taking more wardrobe space than before. Largely because they work hard and it's easy, one and done, but I also have high expectations of them meaning I am a lot more fussy. The dress over trousers is a delicate balance, IMO. The combination of materials and proportions means there's a lot to consider and potential to go wrong hence why I believe it's a hard sell. My favs from your examples are delicate dresses with high slits with tougher materials for trousers and shirt dresses which I've worn in the past as I've not always been comfortable with the length and wanted to retain some modesty. For practical reasons, someone once told me at work, she always wears dresses as it's less washing and ironing end of the week 😅

DENIM YES!

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️👍🇱🇷California.

Hi, where do you find those beautiful pics you showed us?

Do you have a link for the black dress you're wearing in this video? Thanks.

Sarcastically, oh, because transfers from banks to cards are always such a nail-biting affair, aren't they? But hey, it happened.

I don’t think the dress over jeans idea will work for me, personally. Maybe someone who’s taller could make it work with skinny jeans.

An entire

Shirt dresses and certain tunic like dresses make sense over jeans. (Aka longer versions of shirts and longer version of t-shirt styles, cultures that were tunics over trouser do this anyway) But the full on actual dresses on jeans... Too much. Like a purposeless extra layer solely to be trendy and turn heads but no other meaning. Doesn't seem organic.🤔

No, no, no never dresses over pants it look terrible to me! I get enough mileage from my dresses and pants alone 🤣🤣

I've worn dresses over pants for years. I'm tall and dresses are often too short, revealing more than I'd like. So pants, or sometimes a wide legging underneath, finish the look and make me feel more comfortable.

Hello lovely Leonie, when you show pictures of various trends, e.g. dresses over pants, could you please find pix that are less wacky? They always seem to be a bit extreme, like in the examples you showed. I don't know anyone who dresses in such an eccentric (clownish) way. You like trends a lot but the average person is a bit less adventurous and I can only think of one picture of dresses over pants that was wearable, chic nd didn't look like an attention-seeker way of wearing this trend. Most people like simplicity. Thank you.

I think when you use the word “brave” in connection to a trend, it basically means that it looks crazy. These dresses over pants look clownish. I am assuming these images are staged(?)

It's not fall. This is not America. Why would you say this?
