Do you have one in that coral color? </p> <p>The second one says “I am a summer dress” even when the sleevelessness is covered up. Try it with bottoms that are lighter in weight and color, or bare-legged with some of the clunky sandals that are coming out now. </p> <p>I hope this look lingers, because I have one I want to wear this way too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kd-casual-dresses#post-2016016 Thu, 28 Mar 2019 07:14:29 +0000 Jessikams 2016016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do this kind of look for travel / flying— stretchy jegging with a loose tunic dress on top. I agree with you that it’s not the most stylish or fashion forward, but it sure is comfy and practical! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kd-casual-dresses#post-2015988 Thu, 28 Mar 2019 01:30:10 +0000 Anonymous 2015988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually yes, agreeing with Rachy. I think it's not the v but the shoulders of the dress-something in the width or length of sleeves. A sleeveless v neck may work well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kd-casual-dresses#post-2015923 Wed, 27 Mar 2019 20:55:30 +0000 rachylou 2015923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear dresses over pants. In fact, bought a few recently to do just that. I LOVE the first dress for this look. I’m admittedly not keen on the second. The shoulders feel wide to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kd-casual-dresses#post-2015905 Wed, 27 Mar 2019 19:55:26 +0000 jussie 2015905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these look really nice on you. I say go for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kd-casual-dresses#post-2015892 Wed, 27 Mar 2019 19:22:37 +0000 Sara L. 2015892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all of these except the last one.&nbsp; My problem is more a color issue with the dark blue jeans and the black jacket.&nbsp; I would like them to match, but that's my matchy-matchy tendencies coming through. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kd-casual-dresses#post-2015879 Wed, 27 Mar 2019 18:45:49 +0000 DonnaF 2015879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ve become a big dress over (cropped) pants fan. Have you thought about trying those dresses over lighter colored pants, especially the green one? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kd-casual-dresses#post-2015871 Wed, 27 Mar 2019 18:08:58 +0000 smittie 2015871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of them are really cute!&nbsp;<br />I'm confused about why the v-neckline is not good. To me, it looks really good--better than the crew neck. Hmm...</p> <p>I like to wear dresses over pants, so to me, these outfits are great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kd-casual-dresses#post-2015857 Wed, 27 Mar 2019 16:55:23 +0000 nemosmom 2015857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for your input, everyone! </p> <p>A few years ago, I would have worn them with leggings, cardigan, and riding boots, but I’m not loving that look for me anymore... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kd-casual-dresses#post-2015855 Wed, 27 Mar 2019 16:53:42 +0000 Column 2015855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would hem dresses a bit to lengthen legs and look more tunic-y...but that is just me. Glad Angie gave the looks thumbs up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kd-casual-dresses#post-2015847 Wed, 27 Mar 2019 16:33:15 +0000 SarahD8 2015847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the first look especially but I concur with suntiger -- if you're not feeling it, don't force it.</p> <p>One thing that I will say is that with longer tunics/short dresses like this over pants, I like them with a distinctly cropped top layer. So the formula becomes short-over-long-over-lean. Maybe give that a go if your closet can support it and you feel like playing further? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kd-casual-dresses#post-2015843 Wed, 27 Mar 2019 16:31:12 +0000 Angie 2015843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES :)</p> <p>Dresses over pants are FABULOUS, and a look I personally like to wear. You wear the look very well,<b> Nemosmom</b>.&nbsp;</p> <p>I love what you did in #1 to #3. You look GREAT and are doing 2019 <b></b><i>your</i><b> </b>way. That's what it's all about. Agree that V-necklines aren't your best neckline - high five. But not bad!&nbsp;</p> <p>I wear my dresses over cropped flares and not over skinnies - just to change things up.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kd-casual-dresses#post-2015842 Wed, 27 Mar 2019 16:31:09 +0000 Synne 2015842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I only like the green dress on you, not feeling the navy one, sorry. It is kind of cute though, but I have no idea on how to style it. Btw, I absolutely love your color palette! I have noticed in your posts that you are fairly consistent with your wardrobe colors, and they go beautifully with your hair. I am inspired! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kd-casual-dresses#post-2015833 Wed, 27 Mar 2019 16:24:41 +0000 Anonymous 2015833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first 4 look ok to my eye, though maybe better with a darker or heavier shoe. The last the jacket definitely looks big compared to the dress fit.<br /> But the main thing is it sounds like you're not happy with the combo! Life's too short to not feel your best </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kd-casual-dresses#post-2015824 Wed, 27 Mar 2019 16:08:10 +0000 nemosmom 2015824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do people still wear dresses over pants? I have two casual dresses I am trying to figure out how to wear. Both are too short for me to wear as dresses, so I thought tunic-style could work. </p> <p>I tried to style them, but I feel like I’m bordering on maternity/frumpy and wonder if I should pass them on. Can you help?</p> <p>#1-3 Hinge sleeveless shift dress. I tried an olive jacket and a pink cardigan.i think the wash of the jeans works for a column of color, but something feels off. </p> <p>#4-5 ModCloth shirt dress. I don’t think V neck works for me, but I like the tie waist. Bomber jacket is usually worn over chunky sweaters and heattech; it feels too big for this dress.</p> <p>Are there other combos I should look at, or just cut my losses and move on?</p> <p>ETA: Thank you to everyone for your comments! I wore #1 around the house yesterday (it was my fave of the 5 versions) and just wasn't feeling it. I tried a cropped leather bomber, a lighter washed cropped denim jacket, white jeans, black leggings, but it still didn't feel right. I would have to shop for something to get it to work, so I am moving on. NEXT!</p>
