Navy also. You could experiment with a layering under, and I assume that would need to be a thin flat knit-- cotton or rayon or merino. For layering over you could juxtapose texture of a chunky sweater cardigan bomber, or denim as suggested.<br /> Keep a lot of options in mind. There's the maybe ideal mythical something and then there's what's out there so it does not become an orphan.<br /> I'd play in my closet first to hone in on some proportions, then take the dress<br /> on a research expedition.<br /> Your advantage is the clot EOL go with a lot, and the leather will play off of a lot of other fabrics ( like a leather jacket in reverse). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-i-bought-this-dress#post-1105100 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 12:13:23 +0000 rute 1105100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1. black booties + black jacket + leopard scarf<br />2. denin jacket + nude pumps<br />3. white jacket +nude booties</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-i-bought-this-dress#post-1105094 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 11:45:47 +0000 Deborah 1105094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lori, this is a gorgeous dress. I think your styling options are going to be many. I apologise that I am not familiar with your style so my thoughts might not correlate with your style preferences, but here goes:)</p> <p>1 wear as in#2 for warm weather. Bare legs and edgy sandals<br /> 2 same as above but with relaxed leggings<br /> 3 layer a turtleneck underneath with elbow length sleeves<br /> 4 layer over skinny jeans and heels<br /> 5 as above and add a draped jacket </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-i-bought-this-dress#post-1105015 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 06:10:51 +0000 Jacky 1105015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wouldn't wear shoes of the same color - I think it'd be too overwhelming at that point, since the entire dress is that color. I think a charcoal or olive booties/pumps would go really well, with similar colored tights. If you wanted a bit of color, I'd try to match the warmth of the brown.</p> <p>I'd also vote jacket over instead of shirt under it. It already has a pretty high neckline, so I think a turtleneck might look a bit strange under it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-i-bought-this-dress#post-1104976 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 04:26:06 +0000 Carla 1104976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have shoes and boots that colour, so that is what I would do, and sheer hose. Summer time with bare legs and sandals. As a tunic over skinny jeans. </p> <p>Black hose and black shoes with a black turtleneck underneath, would be conventional for winter. Purple would be gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-i-bought-this-dress#post-1104974 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 04:24:54 +0000 Carla 1104974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have shoes and boots that colour, so that is what I would do, and sheer hose.

Now, how do i wear it?!<br />It's the softest&nbsp;honey color leather, and fits like a true shift dress; hanging straight down, and just skimmin my body. NOT tight. That's why i love it. But it's shorter than i'm used to, so tights are a given. But what color, and with what shoe? i don't want to try and match the leather..?&nbsp;Jacket or shirt underneath?&nbsp; </p>
