The match skirt+trousers in the history of fashion From the total tartan looks by Vivienne Westwood to the contemporary version by Sunnei

Marc Jacobs returns in style on the catwalks with a collection that plays with excesses, exaggerated volumes and oversized fit combined with monogram prints, but above all with the combination of skirt + trousers, combining flare trousers with jeweled skirts. Marc Jacobs has already been a pioneer of the trend in the past: the combination has been recurring in his collections since the beginning, in 2012 curved lines of structured skirts and straight lines of classic cigarette pants intersect creating the optical effect of a broken hourglass.

Marni in its Pre-Fall 2021 brings the controversial trend of the nineties back into the spotlight, this time with Edwardian-style dandy pants, tartan patterns with raw hem, heavy make-up, a luminous boa around to the neck. Francesco Risso perfectly combines haute couture and punk taste by interpreting the layered look in an outfit that could dress Tim Curry in Rocky Horror Picture Show.

How to wear it?

Among the fans of the combo we can also find well-known characters of the star system who have distinguished themselves over the years for their eccentric and carefree aesthetics on the red carpet and on stage, such as Harry Styles, Billy Porter, Lil Nas X and the 1975 frontman, Matty Healy. Perhaps this time the trend is here to stay, making the definitive leap from the catwalks of high fashion to the metropolitan streets, no longer reminding us of the nightmare combination of the 90s, but becoming a symbol of coolness and equality in the common imagination.
