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 think you've misunderstood the French thread, if it's the one I think you mean...

Go for it, OP.

Why are leggings frowned on? I ALWAYS wear short dressed with leggings eek!

I wear leggings a lot but my one golden rule is my bum MUST be covered…so dresses, long line jumpers or T’s are acceptable

Two fingers to anyone who is anti-leggings, BTW

I wear similar to that with leggings all the time, It's my go to outfit!

Well I'm currently wearing leggings and a t-shirt that barely covers my bum. I normally wear them with a dress but since my washing machine packed up my dresses are all in the wash.

It's comfy, that's all I care about

Husky (off topic) Next delivers to Aus. My DSis would be lost without their Tall range. Sometimes it's free if not nothing like standard shipping rates. She thinks Next must be trying to capture online market. But I could be ejected from S & B for mentioning Next.

It is just a matter of taste. I wouldn't wear legging and I think leggings with a dress looks dreadful, so I don;t wear them. I would wear that dress with opaque tights and ankle boots. Leggings would break the line up, to my mind, and look scruffy.

frickingnora Black Milk do the best leggings in the world imo. Ship from Australia. Not cheap and some of their stuff is dreadful but some is wonderful. All excellent quality though

If you were wearing leggings with ankle boots you wouldn't even be able to tell they aren't opaque tights as the boots would come above the bottom. Except they are a damn site comfier...

I think if you wear legging in such a way as you can't tell they are leggings then that is fine. The leggings under a dress with a gap before a shoe is grim, in my opinion. Unless you are pregnant, when it is practical. So if you want to be comfortable, maybe OK - but stylish? Never.

That's what I've been wearing since October!

Skinny jeans are an alternative.

Honestly op, I associate leggings with the gym and pregnancy (& outer suburban centres)

Jon66 a lot of employers have a policy of no jeans in the workplace. Mine are happy for you to wear leggings with a dress though. I can't wear tights sadly due to allergies :( I like pretty dresses but the nhs trust I work for has a no bare legs dress code.

Fair enough FlippingFoal but that reinforces my practicality over style point. It is not a deliberate style choice. If you can choose - don't choose leggings. First rule of the style club

Wait a sec, what about leggings and trainers if a skin gap is objectionable?

I only wear cropped leggings so does that make it more or less acceptable?

I only ever wear leggings under dresses...Good job I don't give a fuck what any one thinks of me.

I don't understand why people have enough time in their lives to give a fuck about what they wear.

Erm, you do know you are on the 'Style and Beauty' section? Giving a fuck about what you wear is kind of its point

Welllll, the model in the picture is wearing the sweater dress with trainers. But...it’s a long-sleeved sweater dress. For winter. My legs will fucking freeze. And you can’t exactly wear opaques with trainers.

So my logic was...dress, leggings, trainers. Or not.

Oh, and it’ll be short on me anyway (5’11” and all leg), so would prob look mildly obscene without something underneath.

I'd avoid the Next ones I linked to then OP unless they do a tall version! They are dress length on me but I am barely 5'2.

But is that really a dress? It looks like a tunic. Anyway, I only wear leggings at home.

Pink, thank you for the info though! I had no idea that Next did a tall line, I’ll check it out.

mimi, website says ‘sweater dress’, so I guess so.

I love seed but I dont know how you'd style that in winter op. If you're really leggy then it will prob just look like a long grey jumper ...
