What would you wear under an oversized shirt/hoodie dress?

[Sadik]

This or this sort of thing. I get dresses-over-leggings is out, but I don't feel like they'd look right with tights, and I'm not currently feeling optimistic for many days when they'd be good bare-legged!

I'm also thinking they look easy & relaxed, but are they going to suit a short middle aged woman? (I totally get that age is irrelevant, but I still don't look good in the same things as I did 25 years ago! Far to easy to tip over into 'fun' childrens tv presenter look)

I have a hoodie dress. I wear it with tights and either ankle boots or high tops. Might also give it a go with footless tights and sandals in summer.

id wear it with cropped/capri leggings and DMs

Tbh I’d wear either with black, full length leggings. That or skinny black jeans but let’s face it the leggings are way more comfy. I think the oversized shirts and hoodies are still on trend enough to make the leggings acceptable. It’s not the leggings and a dress combo we were all rocking 10 yrs ago

I dont know why everyone pretends they dont love leggings

Absolutely leggings!

I have a hoodie dress and I wear it with leggings and DM boots. And I am 58 so probably older than you! I wouldn't wear leggings with a more traditional dress anymore but I think it still works with the oversized hoodie or check shirt.

OK, sounds like leggings is worth a try. I've got a slimmer fitting hoodie dress I always used to wear with leggings, but that just doesn't look right now. Ironically it looks OK I think over combats - maybe the answer is just needing a baggier element to the overall shape somewhere.

I'm wearing an oversized cream camo sweatshirt from hush with black and grey camo sports leggings.

Sounds like a good Sunday outfit, Zen

Sports leggings with the hoodie and if the e weather was better than it is now, I’d wear denim shorts under the shirt dress. I’d wear Vans high tops with both.

Interesting, hadn't thought of shorts under as an option, but I can see it could look good. I don't generally do denim but I did wonder if wide legged / carpenter style jeans could work too.

Just back from town (hurrah!) and a lot of the young uns are wearing plain sports leggings, which of course look just like normal leggings from a distance, it's only up close that there's something about the sheen or fit. So basically, as a pp said, everyone still loves leggings, as long as they're sports ones - and that's what I'd wear under that. Shorts and boots will look great if there's ever any heat!

Cycling style shorts. X

I wear this sort of thing a lot. I generally go for baggy on top or bottom, so if it’s an oversized shirt I wear leggings or skinny jeans (yeah I know). Or a fitted top with looser trousers. But I don’t have a particularly good figure and never quite got over my 90s grunge phase so not necessarily best placed to advise...

"never quite got over my 90s grunge phase"
that might also be me...
