Please can you lot help style this skirt for a upmarket dinner in Chelsea.

[CordeliaGrey]

Skirt is LK Bennett and it has hung in my wardrobe for some inexplicable reason. It is wool and silk, full skirt with pockets, fairly vibrant fuchsia.

Have a 'do' in a fairly upmarket pub this weekend. What should I wear with skirt Something not too fussy and simple I think. I brought the silk top from Jigsaw ( bargain with extra 15%off)

It is good silk but is the black a bit harsh with the skirt? I don't really suit black either... any ideas/ opinions welcome...
Otherwise I have a forest green long tulle net skirt ( not worn either! )
Excuse poor photos!

That's gorgeous OP! I would want to wear it with white I think (but I also can't be trusted with anything plain white).

Beautiful skirt. Gray or navy top?

Black top looks nice with pink skirt.

White top only

Your thread title is hilarious. Why does it matter where the dinner is? Or does one want to boast that one doesn't just dine anywhere, darling?!

I dont like the top with it, the shape of the top is gorgeous, I think it needs white or perhaps navy

Same shape top, different colour

Wow S and B has got nasty these days. OP is establishing context.

The skirt is beautiful! What a gorgeous colour! Not a black or white top (bit dull...). How about a mint green or aqua silk shell top, tucked in?

Safe choice: Medium grey or charcoal grey top (thin knit, or a silk tee)

Bold choice: tangerine orange top, go all out with summery shades

Yes who ever heard of dressing for the venue...

White top or white button-down shirt! Collar undone, sleeves rolled. With kitten heel, chefs kiss!

Actually an orange top would go very well.

Pale pink top with v neck and three quarter length sleeves. Pale pink is in the skirt I think?

WTF?!

presumably because if OP had said “London” (which in itself would be a different vibe to Liverpool or Exeter), posters would have quite reasonably asked Chelsea or Hoxton because the answer would elicit quite different responses

Love a gorgeous skirt with a white shirt

I think pale pink would look lovely.

Ah thanks all. Yes i agree that the black top is a bit dull- I think fitted white top or be bold and go with orange... as @evtheria suggests. I love the idea of that colour combo.

Ok anyone seen any suitable orange tops??

@LibertyDuck... your comment made me laugh. i don't get out much!

With a plain fairly short t shirt and a leather jacket?

Have a look at Lilysilk.com.
They do beautiful silk blouses.

White top. Or fuchsia vest top to exactly match if you can find o e in time

I think tucked in shirts look terrible with skirts. Makes you look like waiting staff (nothing wrong with being waiting staff obviously, if that's your job)

I would wear a short, boxy shirt/ blouse/ top/ cardigan in linen, cashmere , fine wool or silk that comes just below the waist band and worn loose over it. White, navy or grey. Preferably 3/4 sleeve or bracelet length.

Any of the cropped or vintage collar cardigans.

Brora Cashmere

Also green

Or this sort of shape. The black blouse is awful. Wrong colour, wrong shape.

Orange sounds amazing 😍 I don't have any suggestions for the top but it would be gorgeous.

I think the top looks awful with the skirt sorry, the arms and under bust area are too baggy.
I think a delicate knit, cashmere cardigan with a V neck and slim fit would look much nicer.
