I have to wear an navy-blue airtex type top for work. What should I wear on my bottom half? Nothing really seems to go and I always look a mess.

Can you wear anything at all? I'd suggest something either red or white would go well with navy. I put DD in a navy t-shirt with red trousers a couple of days ago and it looked very smart.

anything in the whole world goes with navy tops. pink swirly skirt,yellow bermuda shorts, orange maxi dress... jeans?

SuperBunny · 23/04/2010 22:16

Does everything go with it fishie? I usually wear black or grey trousers and it just looks crap. I'd love to wear a pink swirly skirt or red trousers to work but am not sure I coud get away with it.

I'm guessing you don't work in an office? Can you tell us what type of job it is ...

SuperBunny · 23/04/2010 22:24

In a school. I don't want to look as scruffy as I do. But i also get covered in paint/ snot/ wee/ lunch every day so it has to be practical.

would you ever wear navy otherwise?

i say it goes with everything because i know it suits me way better than black. so i use it that way, as a basic colour to put other things with.

could you wear scarf or vest underneath with your more preferred colours?

and yes i do wear fairly bright patterned bottoms with navy top.

how about these? not sure how the colour would come up in rl but going by the picture I think they'd go really well with navy. I think they are gorgeous and could be worn with ballet pumps/flats or wedges.

think I might get some!

soft skirt

SuperBunny · 23/04/2010 22:37

No, I never wear navy otherwise. I don't think it is a good colour on me. But I shall experiment and try new colours and maybe some skirts. Thanks for the help

I also like navy with khaki and theres loads of khaki chino'y type trousers in the shops at the moment.

Which you can wear rolled up with chunky heeled sandals.

herbietea, I got one of those skirts as a gift last week! (and have a navy t-shirt from last year I plan to wear with it!)

helyg · 25/04/2010 19:31

I feel your pain... I work in a nursery school and have to wear a purple polo shirt. Nothing goes with it.

In any other job I would suggest white linen trousers to go with a navy top, but not in that job!
