Just make sure that you opt for leggings that are really thin so you will not have any problems.
Keep it neutral.
Since this trendy is quite risky enough, we recommend that you stick with neutrals like black, tan, brown and white since you can never go wrong with these colors. You can also try pairing dresses and pants with the same color so you can create a monochromatic look which will make you look taller and slimmer.
Keep you dress loose.
If you wish to pull off this look, the best thing that you can do is to avoid tight fitting bodycon dresses because it can be quite difficult to find a pair of pants that will not be visible underneath a bodycon. Instead, we recommend that you opt for shirt, trapeze dresses or any dresses that are roomy and flowy enough to conceal the pants underneath.
