What would you wear with this skirt?

I’ve just bought this skirt www.next.co.uk/style/st612550/407902

I was expecting to hate it on me, but actually I really like it- I feel like an elegant ballerina! Even DH said it was lovely. So I’m going to keep it for Christmas.

I’m not sure what to wear with it though? I have a fitted (plain black) long sleeved top that might work. Any other ideas?

I’m early 30s, size 8-10, with pale skin and brown hair.

Lovely skirt OP.

I would go with a chunky jumper with that tbh. Chunky and fluffy/cashmere-y though, and slightly cropped and/or fitted. I love the contrast of glitzy skirt and daytime jumper, though of course if you’re only planning on wearing it to a fancy party just go with a simple elegant black scoop neck top! With your slim figure it sounds like you can wear something chunky so I would do that! Love the aubergine colour suggestion, so if there’s a chunky mohair aubergine sweater anywhere snap it up! But black would be nice too.

I want that whole outfit now!!!

A top 😳

Shoes and a top maybe 😁

I'd go for a fine knit jumper. Black would obviously be great but personally I think I'd go for a white/cream because I like a softer look.

Imnotahugger · 13/12/2020 19:51

That is lovely! I'd go with black or claret. A fitted long sleeve top or light jumper type affair.

If you're going with a fitted top, which would look lovely, I'd also look for a really nice belt because the way it looks on the woman in the photo, the waist is a bit meh. You're also lovely and slender, so a slightly cinched waist would look great. I'd go for black or a rich jewel colour.

WitchesBritchesPumpkinPants · 13/12/2020 19:58

I think a white top, either leotard type thing or cami/long sleeve fitted top or cosy jumper. Lots of options, both dark & light!

I'd look like some form of weird snowman 😂

CharitySchmarity · 13/12/2020 20:29

I think black fitted top too and maybe a cropped black cashmere cardigan. It might work with something cream or burgundy, but I find it easiest to visualise with black.

This kind of shape, for full ballerina.

I’d wear it with a dark green long sleeved top - possibly with a polo neck or turtle neck. Slim fitting, cotton.

For the evening I’d wear it with a black top with short sleeves.

I think a plain top would compliment the skirt best and give that kind of ballerina look.

Bit too much sparkle for me bit do love it.
I'd go with black top. Make the skirt really stand out.
