Not just students and street stylers: from celebs to catwalks, it is also stated that the dress/skirt-pants combination is “officially back” British Vogue . After all, if you look closely it was a key trend on the Autumn-Winter 2023/24 catwalksfrom miniskirts worn with sweatpants spotted by Heron Prestonto kilts over tone-on-tone tailored trousers courtesy of Kim Jones at Fendi, from denim on denim in the Diesel version, to asymmetrical and pleated skirts on odalisque trousers by Rokh and to the pink slipdress of Connor Hives on jeans (reminiscent of a Britney Spears look at the beginning of 2000).
