A long cardigan or a duster will not cut across lines of a dress like a short one might. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-dress-topper#post-2181674 Tue, 23 Mar 2021 18:26:43 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 2181674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the idea of a white denim jacket colorwise, but it might have too much of a weekend vibe for work. A lightweight cardigan or a less structured blazer would be my pick. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-dress-topper#post-2181647 Tue, 23 Mar 2021 17:27:33 +0000 Anonymous 2181647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was going to suggest a thin cardi too. For cold weather a leather jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-dress-topper#post-2181644 Tue, 23 Mar 2021 17:18:06 +0000 Angie 2181644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>White or black denim jacket.</p> <p>Utility jacket.</p> <p>Gauzy cardigan.</p> <p>Bomber jacket.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-dress-topper#post-2181638 Tue, 23 Mar 2021 16:35:11 +0000 Carla 2181638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that looks like a really fun dress, but FYI, a denim dress can be&nbsp;<i>warm! &nbsp;</i>I love my white sheath, and it was a HEWI - but it can be&nbsp;<i><u></u></i>warm! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-dress-topper#post-2181637 Tue, 23 Mar 2021 16:33:08 +0000 Liesbeth 2181637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see in a previous post that your style is quite edgy, maybe a bomber or a lightweight moto style would work better then. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-dress-topper#post-2181636 Tue, 23 Mar 2021 16:30:34 +0000 Liesbeth 2181636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of these suggestions are great, and so it depends on your preferences and the exact style of the dress. A fitted one like you've shown can go with any topper imo. I personally do a lightweight cardigan over a denim dress, and find that as warm/cool as a denim jacket, just more clingy.<br /> Linen blazers are a thing this year, I think...? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-dress-topper#post-2181632 Tue, 23 Mar 2021 16:13:08 +0000 Echo 2181632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all; I appreciate the suggestions. I think part of the problem is that a denim dress is somewhat outside my comfort zone. I haven't worn one before, so part of it is just insecurity or trepidation over something new. Additionally, since I have almost nothing left in the wardrobe I will need to purchase something new to go with it, so I want to be more sure of what might work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-dress-topper#post-2181588 Tue, 23 Mar 2021 12:45:25 +0000 Janet 2181588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think there are lots of options, depending on how the length and silhouette plays with the dress, and what footwear and accessories you want to complete the outfit: white denim jacket, stretchy knit (unlined?) blazer, utility jacket, military jacket... Try on what you have and see what works! That’s a cute dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-dress-topper#post-2181564 Tue, 23 Mar 2021 09:52:12 +0000 Staysfit 2181564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with all the options above, plus maybe consider an open weave knit or crochet shawl or cardigan. I have a cardigan like this from Athleta and it provides coverage and subtle textural interest without adding bulk or warmth because the spaces/holes/gaps within the knit are relatively large. I had been wary of snagging it but luckily it’s sturdy and has resisted pulls. It looks nice with both casual and most dressier work clothes, but it is not nice enough for a formal occasion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-dress-topper#post-2181562 Tue, 23 Mar 2021 07:55:13 +0000 Jenni NZ 2181562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m with Gillian and Rachylou. A very light summer cardigan, preferably drapey and cropped. Sorry not enough shows in this pic but it’s thin and crocheted. It has 3/4 sleeves and a waist tie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-dress-topper#post-2181561 Tue, 23 Mar 2021 07:32:34 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2181561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You’ve gotten all the good answers already.

However, I am considering a denim dress for spring/summer/fall, and while I would mostly wear it without one, I'd like a topper to wear it to work. It isn't that I can't wear sleeveless to work; I just prefer being more modest there.&nbsp;</p> <p>The problem is that I've just recently discovered how fab a denim jacket is, but I cannot wear that with a denim dress. I don't want anything too rustic or country-leaning. I'm afraid that cardigans would be too warm while sheerer toppers simply wouldn't go with the more rugged fabric. I've attached a small picture of a similar dress. What would you wear as an occasional topper with it? </p>
