The fashion world is witnessing the resurrection of the dress-over-pants trend.

The fashion world has seen the revival of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/y2k-revival-covid-19-pandemic-tiktok-gen-z-fashion-music-film-tv" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Y2K style</a> for quite some time now, ranging from <a href="https://preview.lofficielusa.com/fashion/2000s-trends-comeback-summer-2021" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mini skirts</a> to low-rise jeans to <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/bedazzled-y2k-trend-rhinestones-celebrity-style" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bedazzled anything</a>. Recently, one Y2K trend that is making a surprising comeback is the dress-over-pants trend.

Either way, we’ll most likely be seeing the dress-over-pants trend on the streets next season. Here, L’OFFICIEL rounds up looks from NYFW Spring/Summer 2022 that incorporate this classic Y2K style.
