Coming up for breath…
Oh, hello there.
Surface to Air’s ss12 collection might not be a bundle of revolutionary design but it’s stuffed full of silhouettes that have been bubbling under the… err… surface of mainstream fashion. Most notably, the dress-over-trouser pairing – which has been creeping up on the catwalk for the past few seasons. The only people I’ve seen sporting this look though are the free spirited hippie-types who clearly aren’t rocking it because Nicolas Ghesquière told them to. But these two-part printed combinations are pretty much perfect and a failsafe way to try out the trend. Plus, they’d work just as well worn as separates. Yes, it’s clearly high time for the dress-over-pant look to get its proper revival.
Also coveting from this collection: slubby knits, the mint coloured simple dress, sheer details, bright pops of yellow and blue, the matching glittery lurex skirt/top, and the tops with shoulders cut out.

Being a huge fan of Japanese style and fashion I am also a lover of dresses over pants (it’s a must over there) but unluckily I think that this style fits best the very thin and androgynous kind of bodies. It looks a little bit ridiculous on my body shape (I tried but… d’oh!)
Show us if you try it out!

Totally agree! It definitely isn’t the easiest look to wear! xx
Ha! Cracked me up with the reference to those hippies who are doing this by accident. I’ve always been a huge proponent of dresses over skinny jeans, been doing it for years, but pants seems like more of a leap. But still, I think I could totally get behind it.

I love all the loose fit separates. As for the dress over trousers, last time I sported that look I was definitely 7 on my way to see the upcoming S-Club movie, revival time, yeah why not!
my favorite it’s the see through blouse.
