Christmas Night Out Outfit Wobble

60 replies

AmItoofatforthis · 26/11/2021 15:03

After much fruitless searching for a night out outfit I tried on a black sequin dress I found in H+M. My legs are pretty decent so even though it's reasonably short I decided to go for it. The doubts are starting to set in though. I probably ideally would have gone for a size up and it doesn't quite skim my tummy although it's not horribly tight either.....So, style jury of mumsnet. Am I going to look ridiculous if I wear this?

I will probably wear black tights to tone it down a bit and the shoes are just ones I took for trying on purposes.

Looks great I'd go nude tights with a bit of shine

Bare legs looks best, definitely not nude tights, they're so ageing and dated. If it's too cold for bare legs and you must wear tights then maybe a more sheer black?

I'm enjoying the bare vs tights divide and wondering if there's any geographical correlation?

I agree with the sheer black look. I think opaque can look boring / frumpy with a cocktail dress. Opaque are for shirt / tea dresses and biker boots, kinda thing.

Once upon a time Sheer Black tights were seen as really dated, but they look great nowadays.

God I didn't think anyone chose nude tights with a bit of shine deliberately. As if nude tights weren't bad enough!

Better bra, bare legs, the dark tights do nothing for the dress and the overall shape.

It looks great, and it’s definitely the right size. I’d wear it with the black opaque tights, though. Bare legs way too cold in this country, especially in December. Unless you’re going home > taxi > hot dance floor and won’t be outside for more than two minutes.

Oh my gosh, looks amazing! Wear it with pride and joy!

Thank you again for all the lovely comments. Can't wait to wear it now! I don't think the cold will be an issue as it'll literally all be in the same place and then I'll get an uber home so not much loitering in the cold required.

Looks lovely. Better with no tights. You have great legs.

You look great OP. I prefer it with the tights - looks more modern.
