Denim Skirt?

[CuriosityKilledTheCrap]

I have lost a huge amount of weight, and shopping is a joy now, but I don't know what is in fashion/style. I bought some boots, which look great with skinny jeans, and black tights but I feel a denim skirt would also be a good option. Couldn't see anything today.

Are they now 'out'?

Oh I love that one waspie - I'm 5'8", so worth considering how much thigh is on show (albeit in tights)

It's not actually mine, I wouldn't be parted from it and for the record that is very much not me. 'Tis just the same as mine.

I am wearing a denim skirt right now - in fact, bought some new dark grey patterned tights today to go with it.
I have a few - today's is from Zara, also have Monsoon, French Connection and White Stuff

I think it makes a nice change from jeans - and since I loathe and detest skinny jeans (which seems to be about all you can buy these days), I wear denim skirts a lot...

Denim skirts are totally frumpy. They are not attractive in any way, whatever the shape/length or colour.

Please adorn your body with something more beautiful.

He He - appreciate all thoughts on this. Thank-you.

I'm trying to get into casual skirts more as I find I live in jeans and only wear skirts to work.

I'm not having a problem finding skirts I like but I am having a problem finding tights that are long enough. So any suggestions on places to buy long length tights would be gratefully received!

Well the pair I bought were from TKMaxx - nothing special, but fit me. Probably no good for 5'10" though.

i am wearing a brown denim skirt from Debenhams last year and i have just ordered the Boden denim one talked about earlier. I am sick of wearing trousers. I don't think they are frumpy.

i have always had one in my wardrobe over the years. I am 45 and don't think of myself as frumpy.

I haven't tried TKMaxx Curiosity but I will, thanks. I can see a trip to the shops coming on

Right - frumpy or not I have ordered it Waspie.

Indigo mini skirt from Boden

Job done.

Sorted! We shall be frumpy together Curiosity . almemci may join our "Boden mini frump club" if she wishes

oops, that should be alemci - apologies.

TBH you have to trust your own judgement about whether something is frumpy/mumsy/bogging. The number of times I have looked at some item of clothing loads of people are cooing over on here and think to myself 'do you people not have eyes?!!', it is surprising!

I agree dexter - it'd depend totally on your shape/size and height. I saw someone at soft play in a brilliant combination of clothes that would look shit on someone with a different shape/features.

I never liked uggs. There I said it - but other people do. I'm so out of the loop I appreciate advice, but I'm also looking at what I think looks good on someone like me; hence starting the original thread.

I like wearing my denim skirt with Uggs - kill me now !!!

thanks would be honoured Waspie. Love being frumpsville

I think they are less fashionable than they were, but are never totally out of fashion.

If you want fashionable, try shorts (denim or not) with your tights and boots.

I used to wear them a lot in my early 20s - various lengths - very short, knee length and really long almost down to my ankles. I went through a phase of not wearing jeans or trousers.

My knee length one comes out of the wardrobe every now and again but I don't think the really short one suits me now - too much flabby thighs exposed!!

I've got mine on today. Felt like wearing it after this thread! Wearing it with thick grey tights, stripy burgundy heattech top and a burgundy jumper.

I almost live in my indigo Boden mini. Have almost worn out my first one (about 3 yrs old now) so recently bought another the same to replace it, haven't worn it yet tho. Works for every season...boots & thick tights in autumn& winter, leggings or bare legs (eek!) in warmer weather with converse or flip flops

Well I've got an M&S one with a little 'kickpleat' at the front.
Above the knee, so IMHO not frumpy.
46yo, size 12 butt. 5'5".

I look lush so there

I have a denim skirt I love and honestly don' t think it's frumpy but..... I never think any tops look good with it.
its old though so can't link it;s kind of knee lenght and flicks out (reminds me of something pussy cat dolls would wear but they'd carry it off - unlike me)
So what top??
