For the a lot of part, we have actually moved on from the classic Y2K pattern, swapping it for the coquette aesthetic or something a bit more peaceful luxury, however there’s one niche staple of the 2000s that’s still going strong, and I kind of, sort of, enjoy it.
The dress-over-pants appearance was not something I ever anticipated to come around to. When Katie Holmes first stepped out in a small dress she layered over a pair of vintage-inspired jeans, I believed, “Is absolutely nothing off limitations?” The more celebrities rocked the combination– from Priyanka Chopra to Kylie Jenner– the more I started to warm up to it. And, as of the other day, I can officially say I’ve been converted all thanks to Lindsay Lohan.
When the actress marched in New York on March 7, she made me do a double take since her appearance was rather complicated. Rocking a beige topcoat and a flowing, drapey all-white ensemble, her clothing leaned so breezy and light, it nearly made me forget it’s still technically winter season. However, upon further inspection, I recognized this wasn’t just an oversized top and pants; she was wearing what seemed a mid-length gown over her wide-leg trousers.

Never ever did I expect an intersection of the peaceful luxury trend with Y2K style, however here we are, and I’ll be the first to say, I like it. Lohan’s dress-over-pants clothing veered away from the rigid, tight stylings we’ve seen before, and rather, provided sophisticated draping and movement. The top, which included aspects of a wrap gown and what appeared like a button-down tied around the waist, was casually attached, creating an unwinded V-neck and a front slit at the legs. Completely tailored trousers poked out below, which were put on full display screen as she strolled and her gown swayed in the wind. The entire look was really smooth– it’s not truly clear where one piece ends and the other begins, however that’s part of its appeal.
While I love the entire set, I’m consumed with Lohan’s easy, breezy white trousers. They’re just the right amount of extra-large– roomy without being baggy– with tailoring and pleats that elevate the style, and are bottoms I could see myself living in this spring and summer season. With an easy white T-shirt, you get that exact same cohesion of Lohan’s appearance in a more casual way. You can simply as easily dress them up with your favorite blouse or structured sports jacket. Plus, they’re flexible enough for the workplace, supper dates, and even beach vacations. I don’t own a pair yet, however I’m totally prepared to never take them off.
