I love the feel of leggings, but hate the Beaded/Knitted Tunic thing…so what do you wear over leggings?!

Leggings feel great on…all tight and warm. I like the thought of wearing longish boots over them in winter. But I'm not about to have my arse showing in them though so what the hell do I wear over them?!

Has anybody got any stylish suggestions?

The tunic approach of White Stuff and Joe Brown's is not to my taste and I don't like the beady, hippy kaftan business of Monsoon. I'm not very girly so a dress just feels wrong. Something plain of colour maybe, or a long denim-shirt type thing maybe.

There are a lot of threads about finding decent leggings…I just want to know what you lot wear them with them??

I really like some of that Hush stuff. Obviously not the baggy arse look, but the clothes look really wearable. The scarves too. Does anyone have a discount code pease? £80 for a dress to wear over leggings is a bit steep for me, especially when I feel that I need the £60 scarf to go with it! Yikes.

I wear long jumpers, denim mini, shorts, tube skirts and loose jumpers, long line vest (well over bum, Miss Sefridge are excellent) and loose top.

long cardigan allowing pretty tighter fitting top often works well

Very forgiving with skinny jeans for the larger of arse too!

I'll post links later but I wear longer length slouchy jumpers from fenn wright Manson, white shirts (longer), knitted dresses (oasis etc), chunky longer knits H&M.

Ps can get some gems from brand alley.

Some of these pinterest suggestions are lovely!

Along the long line cardigan path I found these two which I quite fancy…

Fenn Wright Manson - cream

Fenn Wright Manson - black

I'm wearing mine with an untucked silk shirt and a long-line wool v neck,both this season H&M

Oh they seem to be sold out but the Asos slash neck sweater dresses (search on S&B) are great too.

The slouchy relaxed knit I had from FWM was last season but eBay may have it. It was soft grey color.

Day Berger and mikkelsen had a lovely soft knit long line black sweater (I wore mine with skinny jeans) that was Brand Alley. I layered mine with long sleeve tees from oasis.

Top shop used to have nice sweater dresses/tunics.
