    I recently bought a black skirt on sale.. When I tried it on in the shop it seemed ok.. But know I think its too short.. I was thinking of wearing it over jeans.

    What do you think?

    depends on the fit of the skirt, and how short it is. its not a look i particularly like... tbh, i think it would actually look a lot better over similar coloured trousers rather than jeans, as it will provide a better cut, rather than breaking the flow of material that you will get if you were it with jeans.

    No no no NO! Sorry but skirts over jeans doesn't do it for me. In my opinion, almost all of the time it looks horrible. Try wearing them over nice leggings (white ones look nice I think). But it does depend...

    Aye,comin from a lads perspective here, cant stand to see chicks with skirts and jeans, defeats the whole purpose of a skirt

    If you can pull it off and it looks good, then why not?

    Thanx sounds like a good idea. I have a pair of black trousers that I think it will go with. Thanx!

    I like the skirt over jeans thing if it looks good to me...
    Probably depends on if I think she is hot or not.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,129 ✭✭✭Nightwish


    I can pull off the skirt over trousers look :p I think! Did I look like a fool Tar?

    Look, you just have to wear the right kind of trousers so of course it can be done.

    I would have to answer the hot or not part.
    /me creates distraction of immense proportions.
    :p

    Maybe. I don't think it works on some people. I find people with little frames to work it quite well. Possibly due to finding them hot, yep, I only really thin of one thing.






    ...Clothes.

    Well, avoid looking too bulky whatever you do. Have you considered tights or leggings instead, though? Or even adding a hem with a piece of lace or sth if you're into DIY.


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 18,115 ✭✭✭✭ShiverinEskimo


    tbh skirts over anything but tights is up there with Ugg Boots, Ponchos and Dungerees as the worst fashion ideas in the history of mankind.

    Wear the skirt on its own - short doesn't mean bad.

    Ah yes but too short can also mean slut, so you have to be careful there. Plus it's bloody freezing, why would anyone wear a skirt? Unless of course they don't feel the cold, or if they're going to be inside.
    Skirt over jeans/leggins-if you do it right it's ok but I'm not mad about it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,175 ✭✭✭✭Sangre


    No...just no.

    Not so sure - A classy lady can look classy no matter what length the skirt. I think the overall appearance has to be slutty to look slutty. Normally the girl makes the clothes - so if she is a slut she'll look slutty but if she is classy she will look classy.

    Agreed! You have jeans on - so why wear a skirt too? That's like wearing 2 pairs of socks! And it looks daft.

    I think that a skirt with jeans or trousers can look good if its done right.

    The skirt has to be the right lenght.. so a shortish skirt would work and it cant be too bulky.

    I work it well sometimes!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 279 ✭✭nealmac


    GUYS LIKE SHORT SKIRTS!
    My thoughts exactly.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,104 Mod ✭✭✭✭Tar.Aldarion


    I don't.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,930 ✭✭✭✭challengemaster


    but tar you're a girl :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,129 ✭✭✭Nightwish


    You, young lady are not a guy.

    OP, dont mind what some people say, wear your skirt with jeans. I'm sure you'l look great.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,104 Mod ✭✭✭✭Tar.Aldarion


    I'll admit Nightwish and I can pull off the look when we go out on the tear but for most people, lets call them fashion amatuers, it's just not feasible.

    If somebody wants to order a day of shopping with me(a personal stylist), give me a PM.


  • Registered Users Posts: 273 ✭✭stipey


    to be honest its too difficult to tell from the description....

    I'd really need to see a pic of the skirt and jeans together, and one of the OP wearing the potentially scandalously short skirt without the jeans before i could offer any advice.

    *** whistles quietly and tries to look innocent *** :cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,175 ✭✭✭✭Sangre


    This is the kind of fashion trend that only girls think look good, like ugg boots or those jeans tucked into boots, or fake tan...

    'Down with mini-skirts!'

    I just caught the title of the thread on the home page and I am first time poster to this particular forum.

    Why? Why would you or anybody else do this? This is a tried and tested way to look pretty awful. The leggings thing doesn't do it for me either, I'm afraid. I would say bring the garment back and get something else.

    except with a skirt trouser combo... then everybody loses.
