While we're on the fence as to whether it's wearable in real life, it has an elegant exoticism to it — like the traditional Vietnamese "áo dài" — and it does create a long, lean silhouette. Layering a short dress over skinny pants is one of our favorite styling tricks for looking long and lean, but we've not tried it with long over long and wide proportions. Tell us what you do — are you a dress-over-pant styler? If you are, we've got good news — these entire looks are available for preorder on Moda Operandi until June 19.

Runway to Reality: Leap Into the Jumpsuit Trend For Under $100

Jumpsuits have a reputation for being hard to wear — and can send normally confident, fashion-forward women into a tizzy — but if you just give one a try, you may be pleasantly surprised by how simple and versatile they are. We saw the seventies-inspired look on Resort runways from designers like Stella McCartney, 3.1. Phillip Lim, and Céline, proving that the trend definitely has legs. Jumpsuits look best when they're not too tight, and use little accessorizing. If you're totally new to the trend, try pairing one under a leather jacket or fitted blazer for a bit more subtlety.
