Short jumper/sweater dresses. Are they ok worn...

[Wuxiapian]

with tights as opposed to leggings?

My legs are ok(ish), but leggings seem to add extra chunk factor.

Thanks in advance for any responses.

if your legs are good and non-wobbly, then yes

personally, I find the extra weight of leggings control the flab a bit more, IYSWIM

but then, I am 43

I would with thick, woolly ribbed tights, as long as the dress was not that short.

Tights fine as long as you wear knee boots!

Thanks, all.

I wish my legs were a tad more twig-like. Ah well...

I half mid-calf (2"heels) and 2 under-knee boots (1 pair flat, other 3"heels).

Just never sure if it looks tarty.

My dad used to call my sister and I Max wall in the 80s too. We used to wear leggings, men's jackets and DMs.

I found some 80d opaques (possibly Boots or M&s last spring) which are not that much finer than my leggings but still feel like wearing tights.

Yes, Clure...

The thicker the denier, the better. Prolly.

I wore old man jackets from the charity shop to complete my Max Wall look.

I really must have looked like I had raided a dressing up box.

I wear sweater dresses with tights until I shrink the dress in the wash and then I wear them as tunics with skinny jeans.

Doesn't matter how careful I am they always shrink.

not if you were the person in southampton today in red tights
that were too too thin

i just got some knitted jeggings from top shop
saw them today

hold on

ha ha another '80s Max Wall here - we should have had a convention. I always brushed off the comments as jealousy of my cutting edge fashion sense

I did the old man charity shop suits too (complete with crotch stains, mmmm). But the main look (as I remember) was leggings (or tight striped trousers) worn with a hip length t-shirt with a man's leather belt on top, slung round the widest part of the hips in a swashbuckling fashion - fabulous.

Did you all have flat caps too? We did. And on non-DM days we wore PE pumps from Woolies.

Noooooooooo, not the flat cap. My mum still has mine, from BHS I caught her putting it on DD of 13months because she thought it looked cute. Oh the shame.

I saw a queenager in town today wearing the pixie boots, leggings, long tee, swashbuckler belt and old man jacket boyfriend blazer. For a moment I thought there was a time portal between Boots and Millets and I had stepped back to the 80s.
