I wore my red skinnies (on my challenge post) at a dressy casual event yesterday. I wore them with a velvet jacket and dressy looking beaded sweater. There were some dressy sweaters with jeans, some leggings with nice Christmassy tunics, etc. One that stood out was sparkley sneakers with pink fancy socks, a pink patterned sweater and white crops. there were a few wider leg pants, and some more like bootcuts, mostly black. I have concluded that wider legs, as opposed to skinnies, just look dressier. This is just my opinion, but I have concluded I will not wear skinnies when I want to look dressier.
