What summer dresses can I wear with leggings?

[TrinityForce]

Things that don't look weird with them!

I just discovered I love dresses but hate my legs, so don't want to wear them without leggings... The only ones I have are winter dresses so look OK with them, but I'm worried about summer dresses looking 'off' with leggings...

help please?

Noddy love that pink dress!! I nearly always wear black and need to be a bit braver!

Love the sandals on your last link noddy.

Have just read the thread. Hilarious.

Sorry OP, no suggestions, it's not a look I like either.

i was thinking \link{http://www.topshop.com/en/tsuk/product/new-in-this-week-2169932/new-in-this-week-493/dresses-3123078/petite-babydoll-applique-sundress-4337176?refinements=category~%5b208503%7c277012%5d&bi=1&ps=20\this might look nice} with leggins?

Why not just wear trousers if you hate your legs so much?

I just think a dress and leggings looks stupid, like you've for dressed twice accidentally ... Leggings and a top that just covers the bum looks ok IN MY OPINION and I suppose a very short dress could pass as a top but leggings with something that's obviously, by length, a dress looks odd and frumpy IN MY OPINION AND I'M ENTITLED TO MY OPINION

Who are these 'fashion police' people are rabbiting on about anyway? Odd...

She doesn't want to wear trousers.

Maybe you should go and find a trouser thread to post on and leave us frumps alone.

Maybe

Tunics I don't really like but longer dresses yes a la HC a few posts back

Yes, but Noddy - all your links are to slim (probably tall) women and they all look great because of that.

It is a hard look to carry off for shorter/fatter types. Having said that, my sil is both short and fat and I think she makes the best of herself with stylish dresses and leggings. She can wear dresses that she wouldn't otherwise feel comfortable in.

I am completely in love with the wedged sandals! Where are they from?

I think if you keep it plain they look nice. I don't wear leggings with dresses I think its just not me! Would never wear a tunic ever but I see some people like the look and was just looking for examples. If its warm enough for a summer dress maybe its too warm for leggings?

Many leggings add bulk to your legs with the seams and thicker fabric. Footless tights on the other hand can make your legs look slimmer and sleeker.

I like Noddy's photos; but I think a tea dress or similar wouldn't work with leggings very well.

I would wear this to work with leggings and a plain cardi with some wedges and beads.

Op there is a short dress/long tunic (?) in Next that would look good with navy leggings. Its a heavier waffle type material, one is plain navy and one is navy and white stripes.

I bought this last week and will wear it with black leggings and tan sandals. My leggings are more footless tights, I think they're 120 denier Falke ones. I'm neither "lumpy bumpy mum who's eaten too many biscuits" nor "very fat" (the dress is a size 10) but I wouldn't wear something this short with bare legs other than in the garden. Also, I think it depends where you live - I'm in Scotland and days for bare legs are few and far between. I'd never wear a summer dress if I waited for those!

Just that dress is lovely, I would wear it with leggings too

Judy not just - sorry!

being an hourglass shape i cant just wear trousers or jeans when its too cold for a dress by itself because i have never found trousers or jeans that fit properly or dont make my arse look bigger than id like to believe it is. I look shit in them. I wear tunics or dresses all year round and in the winter i wear them with leggings and a cardigan and in the summer i either wear them without or with short cropped leggings. I look fine the way i dress. Nice even. I get complimented pretty regularly, Plus i feel comfortable and confident in everything i wear

Happy well we all have different opinions of course and like I said I don't wear dresses anyway, but I think it's unkind to say that a look someone has said they like 'looks stupid' just because you don't like it. You could just say 'I don't like it'. But that's just MY opinion.

I wear dresses and legging all the time & I clicked on this thread hoping for lots of lovely dresses to look at. Thank you to everyone who has posted links.

I find some of the comments disgusting quite frankly. I can't believe that people can be so rude about people because of what clothes they like to wear. If dresses & leggings offend you so much then why click on the thread & read it??
