But if you were to do blouse and slacks, I think the key would be accessories - high strappy sandals, amazing jewelry, evening bag etc can make it a very glam dressy look, and not office-y. Just another option to consider if you have suitable pieces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-dop-really-un-hip#post-1008640 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 01:25:38 +0000 DonnaF 1008640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome!&nbsp; And with your ethnic heritage, I think you can wear DOP inspired by traditional garb from anywhere on the Indian subcontinent without being guilty of cultural misappropriation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-dop-really-un-hip#post-1008263 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 06:50:44 +0000 ManidipaM 1008263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As an Indian who sometimes likes to change up the traditional combination while enjoying the basic silhouette and proportions, I am especially looking forward to your DOP pairings---for inspiration!</p> <p>Welcome to the forum! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-dop-really-un-hip#post-1008237 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 05:14:34 +0000 Beth Ann 1008237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love to see your options for the wedding, but as a general rule I think that dress over slender pants can still work beautifully, with the right fabrics and proportions.&nbsp; Sounds like it might be a signature look for you, as it is for Deborah. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-dop-really-un-hip#post-1008187 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 03:16:20 +0000 Devis 1008187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Thanks for the responses!&nbsp; I am highly encouraged by Deborah, and also Jeanie's and comment that dressy DOP may be ok over a maxi is in line with what I was thinking. I will post some looks soon...maybe I can get some yays or nays on specific outfits.&nbsp; Kind of losing my mind over what to wear to this wedding! Thanks for the link Anna..very hepful! Thanks to all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-dop-really-un-hip#post-1008183 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 03:06:58 +0000 Jeanie 1008183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello! &nbsp;Anna's link is very inspiring and Deborah makes a good point about keeping it modern. &nbsp;I think a dressy DOP would be very pretty and I would vote for the DOP over a maxi or trousers for an evening wedding....just my opinion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-dop-really-un-hip#post-1008175 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 02:54:02 +0000 Deborah 1008175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome Devis:). Love Anna's link:). I have worn dresses over pants for years and will continue to do so:). I think it's I portent to keep a modern silhouette and make sure you update the look rather than just wear a combo you may have worn 10 years ago:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-dop-really-un-hip#post-1008170 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 02:46:20 +0000 annagybe 1008170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This may help</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.refinery29.com/skirt-over-pants#slide-1">http://www.refinery29.com/skirt-over-pants#slide-1</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-dop-really-un-hip#post-1008167 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 02:40:41 +0000 Devis 1008167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi! </p> <p>I am new to the forum and am desperate for some help! <br />I am a fan of the Dress Over Pants look and have been doing it for years, and it seems to work for me b/c I am tall (5'9") and also happen to be of Indian descent so the look has always been part of my heritage, and I have been able to transition it to my western wear, I *think* reasonably well.&nbsp; </p> <p>I have really thin legs that I am very uncomfortable with.&nbsp; My question is, what does everyone think of a formal DOP look?&nbsp; I have once worn a BCBG dress that came to mid-thigh over slightly flared formal trousers.&nbsp; </p> <p>I have to go to a wedding that starts at 4:30 in the evening and am freaking out that I want to hide my legs and don't know what is appropriate!&nbsp; DOP? Maxi? Trousers and a blouse (which I think is too "workplace").&nbsp; And also,I am 36 years old if that makes any difference.&nbsp; Help!&nbsp; </p>
