Recently bought this dress from Marks... love it and it's really flattering but what should I wear on my feet while it's cold..? I'll be wearing navy tights. Thank you for any ideas. I'm desperately trying to fight frumpdon but need to be comfy and practical......

Is it this one?

Very nice and a bargain.

Ballet pumps with a slight heel?

Thank you @Emanwenym . Yes that's the dress!
I couldn't see your shoe suggestion when I clicked on your link. Is it the Jones flat ballet pumps? Thank you

I might wear brown brogues with it and a blazer or oversized cardigan. I don't think I'd go as far as Navy tights though! But maybe try and style it a little geek chic without being too Momcore!

Emanwenym · 12/03/2025 21:46

It was,and I'm not normally a fan of ballet pumps, but it's too early for strappy sandals.

Thank you, @boobashka . I'd get the dress but my size isn't in stock.

boobashka · 12/03/2025 21:49

Navy tights too frumpy you think @Gymbunny2025 ..? But I need tights up here in freezing cold Scotland... what colour do you think please? I've never worn brogues... not sure if I can pull them off....🙃

Hopefully they do more of these column dresses @Emanwenym . I've got another one in black which was equally good value and so flattering... hides all the lumps and bumps 😁

Loads of this style on Boden (but 5 times the price!) that they're pairing with brown boots. Maybe get some inspiration on there?

I'll look out for them. I'm looking forward to not living in a fleece. I ❤marks

I've got a pair of these lace ups. I love them & so very comfy

I'd wear with tights, or geek it up with some socks.

I'm afraid I'm too much of an actual geek to carry off the trendy geek look @RobinEllacotStrike 😅

Not navy tights with such a light dress. Bare skin look if you need tights, sorry.

I disagree. Navy opaque is fine.

SprinkleOfSunak · 14/03/2025 09:03

A pair of metallic ankle boots.

Same here. Bare legs are fine in summer but not when it's 3 degrees.

Twoshoesnewshoes · 14/03/2025 09:21

Agree nude tights and tan ankle boots, with maybe grey chunky socks ruffled down about two inches showing above the boots

That would be ok too with the socks, but not bare, or looks bare tights only.

Mumofoneandone · 14/03/2025 10:02

I wear navy tights (thermal and non thermal) as my default with dresses and no way am I frumpy!!!
Have navy knee high boots for smarter occasions but most of the time I wear calf high pink boots. They are really warm and comfy and look fun!!
Always worth adding a petticoat under your dress for additional warmth...
