This
subtle switch makes all the difference.
Every so often, I'll scroll through Instagram and spot an outfit so good it
gives me goosebumps. It's creative, it's fun, it's on-trend, and yet somewhat
unexpected — mostly because it follows one main style rule.After revisiting some of my favorite looks, I realized that many fashion pros are fans of opposite-dressing. In other words, they take two pieces that seem as if they would never work together — for instance, a ruffled dress and thick, velcro sandal — and pair them together. These total opposites end up balancing each other out in a way that's pleasing to the eye, and definitely makes me think "Gah, I wish I thought to do that."
In fact, last year, after I saw Katie Holmes wear a pair of joggers with a button-down, I couldn't stop thinking about it. For the next few months, I fully copied that formula, styling a collared shirt with my favorite track pants.
There are a ton of ways to follow the opposite-dressing rule, which will quickly transform your outfits and make them more interesting. Ahead, I've rounded up a few easy examples, but with a little experimenting, the possibilities are endless.
A Structured Shirt and Comfy Bottoms
Similar
to the outfit I just mentioned, I love the look of a button-down and a casual
pair of shorts. I wouldn't have thought these two items would work together —
one is somewhat serious, while the other is more lax — but the end result is
preppy and cool.
A Dress and Casual Footwear
Sure,
fashion influencers have been into this athleisure combo for years, but it just
proves how successful opposite-dressing can be. A chunky sandal or sneaker can
turn even the sparkliest ruffled dress into a laid-back look.
A Dress Over Pants
Another
way to follow the opposite-dressing rule is by playing around with layers. It's
such a '00 move to layer a dress over pants, but with the
right pieces — such as a wrap dress and jeans — it's less of a throwback and a bit
more modern.
A Blazer and Bike Shorts
A structured jacket has the ability to make
any outfit more elevated, even if it's basically loungewear. Sneakers will
ensure this combination works for a full day of activities, while heels will
give it a fancier, date night feel.
Sweats and Heels
A Sweatshirt and Structured Pants
The easy
way to wear to sweatshirt is with equally comfy bottoms, such as matching pants
or everyday jeans. Pairing it with slacks, however, is sure to make a
statement, and combines the best of both worlds.
