How to Wear Shirts Under Dresses Like Alison Brie and Kourtney Kardashian

This trend isn't going anywhere any time soon

You can get more from what you have by rethinking how to wear your favorite clothes.

Layering is key. While most people know how to layer tops with sweaters and scarves, there's a new layering technique that has taken Hollywood by storm: shirts under dresses. What once was a way to wear spaghetti straps and appease your parents or school principle is now a celebrity trend that makes your existing wardrobe more versatile.

Just take Alison Brie, who paired a gold-tinted jacquard tea dress with a basic white T-shirt. Together, the style looks youthful, flirty and more casual, in comparison to her wearing the dress alone.

Before you grab a dress and top, there are a few ways to master the look. Check out the best celebrity shirt-dress combinations below, then shop their style!

Warm Up Your Summer Dresses

Now that you've invested in your summer wardrobe, which include sleeveless evening dresses (See: Selena Gomez's corset-inspired dress), it's to think about how to wear them when the weather gets chilly. The "Back to You" singer mastered summer-to-fall transitional clothing, wearing a light, long-sleeved shirt under her dress. Take note!

Keep It Fun and Flirty

White T-shirts aren't the most feminine garments. However, when you pair them with floral, A-line dresses and platform heels, the basic top adds a fun and modern twist to a girly look. Alison Brie's ensemble is the perfect example.
