Have you heard of opposite dressing? Even if the term is new to you, we’re sure you’ve already been incorporating this fashion rule into your looks. Opposite dressing is all about taking two pieces of clothing that seem like they wouldn’t go together, like a girly dress with dad sneakers, and pairing them together. By wearing total opposites, you’re balancing the pieces out in a way that’s eye-catching. There are tons of ways to start opposite dressing are we’re here to give you some inspiration. Check out some of our favorite looks.
Structured Shirt and Comfy Bottoms
Dress shirts and exercise shorts never seemed like a combination that would work together, but this laid-back look ends up being super preppy and fun.
We always thought that we had to wear heels with dresses, but over the past few years, we’ve seen that a chunky sandal or sneaker can tone down fancy, girly dresses making them more wearable for every day.
Dresses over pants are a fun way to experiment with layers and it’s an ode to the ’00. Pull your waist in with a statement belt and don’t be afraid to mix colors.
Blazers instantly elevate any look, even if it’s loungewear. For a daytime look, throw on some sneakers and to make the outfit fancier for date night, put on some heels.
Who knew that sweats looked so good with heels? You don’t have to be limited to sneakers or flip flops when wearing sweats, and heels will make your sweats more wearable for when you go out and about.
