What to wear with casual dresses?

10 replies

I've recently bought some nice pre-loved dresses from Vinted (great recommendation from someone on here - thanks!) but they don't have sleeves.

I don't love my upper arms but I'm mainly concerned about getting cold... What do I wear? They're casual day dresses so a wrap / pashmina won't work. Does a stylish cardigan exist??

I'm a SAHM so a jacket / blazer is a bit too 'workwear' I think.

Any advice would be gratefully received Smile

I'm in love with kimonos at the moment.

Denim jackets go with most things, they have a lot of pastel colour denim jackets out at the moment 😊

I always love a denim shirt.

Can you wear soemthing underneath instead? Long sleeved tight top?

I like cropped cardigans. Long slouchy ones can look good with dresses too. Not as stylish as I'd like but... Comfort!

Any links to share?! I know that's rather greedy of me after such useful replies Grin

Uniqlo have a great range of very thin long sleeved tops that I wear under sleeveless dresses all the time. Last time I looked they had a sort of thermally range for winter and a range for summer. Various colour ways and super thin.

I like a good biker style jacket with a casual day dress something like this:
