I know dresses with leggings are frowned upon, BUT...

...would it be too frumptastic to buy this and live in it over (thick) leggings all winter? (Am in Aus...winter incoming.)

Do 100%-cotton sweater dresses get a ‘pass’?

Please say yes. Thanks.

I'd wear that with opaque tights, and tbh I've never really understood why people treat leggings differently to thick tights! They look basically the same, no? So I say go for it, that dress would look lovely with dark leggings underneath

Thanks Buffy. I’m wondering if I could do coloured ones as well...gym leggings, basically?

I’m not talking about going out for lunch or somewhere nice, just walking around shopping etc.

Is it something similar to this ? I bought 2 of these in Next and have lived in them with leggings since I bought them. I am short so could possibly wear with tights but feel more comfortable in leggings.
I'd say go for it.

I would. I feel more comfortable and less exposed in leggings rather than tights. I don't like the top of my legs in tights at all!

Pink, yes, it’s kind of like that but double the price 🙄 (because Australia).

I live in dresses and leggings, and anyone who frowns at this can kiss my legging clad arse

Dress and leggings is a fairly common work outfit for me. Go for it!

Blue, you are living my dream! I’d never get away with it at work (sadly).

I'd wear this sort of thing with leggings, I just don't like leggings worn sheer material flowy dresses

Worn with*

Leggings only seem to be frowned upon in mn style and beauty, many women wear them around here, south east UK.

Op it would look lovely with leggings, there are so many different colours out there to chose from.

Just call them footless tights, if style gurus allow tights.

It just seems a shame to ruin the supreme comfort potential of such an item by putting it over jeans.

Why are they frowned upon? That's what I've been wearing all winter, and am actually wearing now. . . .don't tell me I got it wrong?

I wear leggings under dresses WHILST wielding my loo brush!

Can't understand how I haven't been banned yet!

Tired, oh, I don’t know...frumpy something something.

I dare you to go over to the French thread and drop in a query about dresses over leggings.

I’m wearing this with leggings today and it looks nice.

If you don't wear them under a dress, I don't see how leggings should be worn?! I have horrid skin on my legs and wear leggings all year round! I don't care what the French say!

Leggings and dresses is a massive yes from me.
Plain-ish jumper dress and garishly patterned leggings is also what I'm wearing now acceptable.

Doesn’t matter does it? Are you comfortable? Yes? Then do it. I wear leggings most days either with big jumpers or a shirt and Doc Martins. The 90s never ended for me.

Leggings are okay as long as worn with some kind of boot. It's when there's a gap between legging and shoe that I think it looks bad.

love it this is what I wear all the time and I certainly don't look frumpy

I always wear leggings and dresses to work. 😬

My Australian SIL rocks the leggings under dresses look. Go for it.

Any recommendations for comfy leggings that don't go all baggy round the knees? (sorry OP - just hijacking your thread! ) I'm 5'4 - size 12/14
