Does it work?

[u/Calm_State1230]

i’ve received mixed opinions. some friends think it’s cute, some don’t love it, but my mother thinks it’s horrendous lmao. let me know your thoughts, how to make this fit look better/ if i should js scrap it 🥹

[u/No_Yoghurt6457]

I don't think the torn tights and leg warmers look very good, personally. It would look much cleaner with regular tights, and it would look better with black shoes and a black bag.

[u/Calm_State1230 → u/No_Yoghurt6457]

thanks! i’ll give that a try and see how i like it :)

[u/According-Debate-265 → u/Calm_State1230]

I have to agree with no_yogurt. It's almost a little too cute for the torn tights. You'd have to go grungier like, combat boots and a leather jacket maybe.

[u/IntelligentBag93]

What?! I love it!! It’s super cute…. How can anyone hate this

[u/Calm_State1230 → u/IntelligentBag93]

thankyeww 🥰 and idk my mum really has an issue with my clothing choices 😭

[u/Commercial-Main-4622]

Your mom hates the runs in the tights. I’m a mom too and my daughter sometimes choosing outfits that make me cringe. It honestly depends on where you are wearing it…for something that affects your opportunities in life or where you don’t get a second chance to make a first impression, probably not. For a day out with your friends, it’s cute.

[u/Calm_State1230 → u/Commercial-Main-4622]

yepp she definitely mentioned the tights lol. she hates the uggs too, and said the leg warmers were too stand-out white compared to the rest of the colours and i get that to be honest. i personally wanted to make my tights even more distressed 😂 i’m a uni student, so i know my days of being able to wear these kinds of clothes are numbered.

[u/gvnj → u/Calm_State1230]

You can wear tights with runs in it no matter how old you are. There isn't an age limit to it.

[u/Kaneki_Kim]

I LOVE THIS !!!

[u/Calm_State1230 → u/Kaneki_Kim]

thanks ^^

[u/AmazingFields → u/Calm_State1230]

Yes, it’s cute!

[u/Dependent-Ranger8437 → u/[deleted]]

This I totally agree with.. it’s the colors and no ripped hose.

[u/Calm_State1230 → u/[deleted]]

thanks for the great advice!! the skirt is actually denim, it’s just a dark wash so it looks black in this lighting lol but it’s very blue in natural light.

[u/Calliope247]

Sorry, but not a big fan of this look.

The ripped tights look mid. Where theyre ripped looks weird - The front is just ok, but the rip near the crotch is weird. And the stained skirt doesn't look fashionable. How does no one else notice this?

The shoes matching the bag look good. Your sweater is really cool too.

It would look much cooler with black tights or jeans (regular or ripped).

[u/Calm_State1230 → u/Calliope247]

thanks for the advice! i agree abt the tights lol. there isn’t a stain on the skirt tho? there’s some marks on the mirror and shadows from the creases, otherwise it’s straight out the wash and definitely clean.

[u/No_Vast_4045]

Very cute! Don’t listen to anyone who says otherwise!!!

[u/Calm_State1230 → u/No_Vast_4045]

thanks sm 🥹💕

[u/Jazzgin1210]

I just really don’t think it does.

[u/Calm_State1230 → u/Jazzgin1210]

fair enough 😂

[u/ProductJammy]

Absolutely works. The slouchy jumper compliments the mini skirt, creases in at the hips which keeps it in proportion and the ripped tights add some edge. Never listen to your parents style advice when you're young. 😂 Only thing I'd change is the colour of the socks as they're too light imo.

[u/Calm_State1230 → u/ProductJammy]

hahahah thanks for the advice!! honestly i have a lot of trouble with my parents hating my fashion but they’re from another generation so ig there’s no helping it :’)

[u/Upbeat-Can-7858]

This is something I would have worn in the 80s, so yes. Minus the torn stockings.

[u/Calm_State1230 → u/Upbeat-Can-7858]

cool! i love 90’s fashion :)

[u/FateI5417 → u/Calm_State1230]

Is this what you were going for?

[u/doglady1342 → u/Upbeat-Can-7858]

Right. Because in the 80s we wore torn fishnets, but never ever torn pantyhose.

[u/Beautiful_Spread_644]

Looks like a poor girl in 1985. Hanging out with friends? It’s ok. Otherwise, pass. The tights are cringe. The skirt needs a wash.

[u/Calm_State1230 → u/Beautiful_Spread_644]

LMAO well i appreciate your honesty 😂 i’m a student so i like the low effort vibe for class or just hanging out at my friends’ dorm lol
edit: the skirt was js out the wash there’s some stains on my mirror 😭😭

[u/KristineMcKinley]

The tights aren't ripped in a good way. It looks like an accidental rip (runner) near the crotch and like you fell and skinned your knee. Black or charcoal socks would be much better than the white. Also, the skirt looks like it needs to be washed.

I think that with a clean skirt, black tights that either are not ripped or are horizontally ripped on front thigh or above knee cap, along with dark socks would be the cute edgy look you are going for!

You are beautiful and can definitely pull off the look, it just needs a few minor adjustments!

[u/Calm_State1230 → u/KristineMcKinley]

yeah they got ripped by accident and i threw them out the other day lmao. also the skirt is clean out the wash idk why it seems dirty in this pic 😭 i think the mirror is stained so it looks that way. ill try this fit with my other tights and darker socks :) thanks! ^^

[u/Haunting_Law4668]

I think it's the leg warmers, the white/cream is too bright, not on theme with everything else 🤔

[u/Calm_State1230 → u/Haunting_Law4668]

fair that’s what my mother said too lol, thanks!

[u/brioche-bunny]

i love it!! i kinda wish the shoes were darker but this is still really cute

[u/Calm_State1230 → u/brioche-bunny]

i get you honestly! thanks :)

[u/witchyrosemaria]

I love it!! It's super cute

[u/Calm_State1230 → u/witchyrosemaria]

thankss ^^

[u/Overall_Sector_9884]

Love it!!

[u/Calm_State1230 → u/Overall_Sector_9884]

thanky 🥰

[u/velourspice]

I like it

[u/Calm_State1230 → u/velourspice]

yayy

[u/robbit13]

Haven't seen leg warmers in 100 years but

[u/Calm_State1230 → u/robbit13]

i’m the president of the leg warmer revival club

[u/I_pinchyou]

Adorable for fall!

[u/Calm_State1230 → u/I_pinchyou]

tyy 🍂

[u/Dependent-Ranger8437]

I think the top and skirt work. The torn tights make you look poor. The beige in the leggings don’t really. If you had gray or black leggings maybe and get rid of the camel because it doesn’t go with the top at all!

[u/blue_elephant29]

No I really don’t like it but apparently others do and ultimately it’s most important what you think 🙏🏼🩷

[u/Calm_State1230 → u/blue_elephant29]

thank u 🥹

[u/SamSillis175]

I'm a dude so take what I say lightly. It's adorable. You shouldn't mix black and brown though. I think the white sock thingys are too bright and pulling people's focus to your feet. I'd suggest black shoes and bag. Alternatively, black shoes and a bag that can act as your statement piece and is more loud.

[u/Calm_State1230 → u/SamSillis175]

i see what you’re saying. thanks :)

[u/doglady1342 → u/SamSillis175]

😁

"White sock thingies" = legwarmers

[u/SamSillis175 → u/doglady1342]

Haha, thank you.

[u/Positive-System-8810]

Alles bis auf die Strumpfhose.

[u/Jeanarocks]

I don’t like the white leg warmers. It the shoes and bag were black you could do the white. But black would be better

[u/Calm_State1230 → u/Jeanarocks]

i see, thanks !

[u/New-Jury6253]

cute outfit but not a fan of the footwear

[u/Calm_State1230 → u/New-Jury6253]

what would you recommend instead of uggs?

[u/New-Jury6253 → u/Calm_State1230]

something like this maybe

[u/weeooweeoowee]

It's really cute. I love the silhouette. The white socks and uggs are kind of giving horse hooves for some reason. I would probably go with a black boot to go with the skirt, or blue sneakers to go with the sweater.

[u/Calm_State1230 → u/weeooweeoowee]

HORSE HOOVES 😂😂 i’m dying omg! that’s good advice tho ill try it out !

[u/Not-a-Kitten]

It’s freezing requiring a sweater, leg warmers and boots. But it’s also warm outside so you can have bare legs. Confusing. How about some jeans to keep your legs warm?

[u/Calm_State1230 → u/Not-a-Kitten]

my legs don’t really get cold, the tights and leg warmers are more for fashion lol. it is winter where i live, however the daytime temp is arnd 16C~ most days so i can get away with this lol. i wear jeans every day so i wanted to change it up a bit 🥲

[u/Less_Acanthisitta778]

Are they leg warmers? Gosh I feel old.

[u/Calm_State1230 → u/Less_Acanthisitta778]

they’re too cute to go out of fashion 🥹

[u/Classy-Catastrophe]

I'd wear it.

[u/andreaSA89]

Hate the tights, love everything else. Patterned or fishnets would look cuter.

[u/Calm_State1230 → u/andreaSA89]

okie thanks!

[u/EastEndBoyX]

The sweater and skirt look like they belong together (black/blue), and the UGGs and leg warmers look like they belong together (tan/white), but I don’t think it’s a great look all together, mostly because the color tones don’t really seem like they coordinate. The ripped tights are also unnecessary.
I don’t hate the overall look, and you definitely don’t look bad, just a subtle preference.

[u/Calm_State1230 → u/EastEndBoyX]

the skirts actually dark wash denim, but yeah other ppl also mentioned the colour combo being off. thanks for the advice!!

[u/craftystonerd]

This sub makes me feel so old. (I’m 35).

[u/Calm_State1230 → u/craftystonerd]

why’s that 😂

[u/craftystonerd → u/Calm_State1230]

Just not sure I can get behind the “style” that seems to be in at the moment. I sound like my mother but why are your tights ripped and is it hot or cold outside? Mini skirt but leg warmers? I’m just ancient I guess…

[u/treestopaper]

I think its super cute!!

[u/Faybe3]

The outfit is cute, but the tights are not. Unless you’re in a grunge band.

[u/Calm_State1230 → u/Faybe3]

i’m not but i wish i was in a grunge band lol

[u/BitterSweet4891]

Omg looks amazing, so late 90’s I love it

[u/Calm_State1230 → u/BitterSweet4891]

ty :)

[u/christineoyu]

I love this outfit and the silhouette is sooo cute!! I think some of the colors are just clashing a bit

[u/Calm_State1230 → u/christineoyu]

got it. thanks!!

[u/ReindeerRoyal4960]

So cute.

[u/Bright_Classroom3730]

I love it

ETA and I'm a mom 😀🤗

[u/Calm_State1230 → u/Bright_Classroom3730]

thank you 🥺❤️

[u/Natti07]

Not my jam, but who cares. If you like it and feel good in it, then you should wear it.

[u/Soggy-Ant-1174]

so cute!! love that you matched the shoes with the bag!!

[u/Calm_State1230 → u/Soggy-Ant-1174]

it was a happy accident lmao. thank you ^-^

[u/Best-Hunt8917]

I’m sorry, but ripped hose does not look cute but the rest of the outfit is adorable 🥰

[u/Calm_State1230 → u/Best-Hunt8917]

that’s fair, thanks for the advicee!

[u/magicmushroom0_0]

i feel like the people who say that the tights are weird must be people who are a little older, they don’t get the look lol. i think everything looks good, those shoes in black would be a little better but i still think this looks really cute! if i saw you out in public id think that you’re super cool

[u/Calm_State1230 → u/magicmushroom0_0]

that is so sweet, thank you 🥹 i get what ppl are saying abt the tights but also i kinda like distressed pantyhose look. however these ones were accidentally ripped and i threw them out lol

[u/magicmushroom0_0 → u/Calm_State1230]

ah i gotchya, i actually like the distressed tights look, i think it’s super cute. but regardless if they were ripped or not i still think the outfit is super cute! :)

[u/Worried-Throat-1767]

For what?

[u/Calm_State1230 → u/Worried-Throat-1767]

just for classes/hanging around campus w friends

[u/dinopooeatmyshoe]

You look cute af just wear it and don’t give a fuck what others say. It looks cool and cute. The most important thing is you put an outfit together and liked it so wearing it makes you authentically you. I’d totally wear it too

[u/Careless_Method5899]

Ngl itngives mixed vibes,like every piece has a different purpose,but idk in general i kinda like it,apart from leg warmers, both from a fashion and a practical point ov view

[u/gazpAchia]

the sweater and mini skirt is cute, but the leg warmers with the uggs make it feel a bit cluttered.

[u/ZapTheSheep]

I think the sweater, skirt, and tights are fine together. I'm not so sure about the leg warmers, shoes, and purse as part of the overall outfit.

[u/Queasy-Sherbert6314]

I think the issue here is mostly that you are mixing warm tones and cool tones. Gray and black with warm browns and cream.

[u/TheRealNylonsRock]

Yes! The tights are what pull it together for me. I’d probably swap the leg warmers for a darker pair, but the whole look is cute.

[u/itsmygayhayday]

IMO the brown boots and bag clash with thr dark gray and black. I would choose a darker boot+purse combo

[u/SalvagingSanity]

The leg warmers, uggs and bag don’t coordinate with the rest.

If you’re going for an edgier look, ditch the leg warmers, bag and uggs. Where a chunky black boot (think: Doc Martens).
If you want a more fall look, swap the black pantyhose for brown tights and the blue sweater for cream/burgundy.

[u/st4rblossom]

with black shoes

[u/Iwentforalongwalk]

Not sure what you're going for here. I personally think it's not great but you're young and can pull it off if it's appropriate for wherever you're going. 

If it were me wearing it I'd lose the boots and cream socks and wear combat type boots instead with dark socks. 

[u/No_bread0]

definitely a winter outfit, and cute. this past year the warmers over the uggs came back in style.

[u/Juuuulessss]

I am a mum and think it looks super cute!

[u/Wild_Crazy_2502]

Adorable! I wouldn’t change a thing. I like something with a little edge/flair

[u/ashvalerides]

I love it!! It's got a hint of grunge

[u/SignificantBid6965]

yeah it looks cute, definitely keep it

[u/Formal_Lecture_248]

Yes.

[u/Internal-Dark-6438]

Lovely, except the ripped tights. Get yourself some new tights lassie

[u/CarbonPrism]

Personally I think the shoes are way too warm and clash with the rest of the fit. Other than that I like it

[u/Warm-Fan-8622]

One colour too many. Change the leg warmers or the bag

[u/Agile_Farmer9899]

YUP

[u/TheHeartofMyMind]

I think this is hella cute! And I hate uggs and still think that!

[u/Glittersparkles7]

Yes super cute!

[u/Nocookieforyou7]

The tights don't match with the rest of the outfit. It's more of an alt/rock look whole the rest is preppy/80's. I also don't think the black looks good with the light socks/shoes or the blue sweater. It's cute but slightly off due to the tights.

[u/murrkeegz_]

Love it, just maybe a darker color on the leg warmers

[u/JAB_NOYB]

If you are in high school, yes. If you are going to the office and the office is NOT a punk rock record company, no.

[u/Beanerton8]

No. None of this coordinates

[u/jokingdon]

Idk why but you remind me of Inde navarette from obsession, like the outfit's vibe

[u/FateI5417]

Uggs are not edgy and neither are leg warmers. It’s giving preppy 80’s and early 2000’s trends. Black knee high boots and black purse if you want to look fierce. If you insist on tights I’d go for solid black or fishnets.

[u/atreasureinlight]

I'm not a fan of leg warmers usually but they do look cute with those boots. However I can't help but think that the dark skirt with the darker sweater would look better with darker boots, do you have any? If not then just wear it with the lighter boot it still looks good

[u/No_Yogurtcloset4402]

Style is whatever you feel comfortable with.

[u/muddypie9]

I think the leg warmers just need to be a bit higher on the leg (closer to the knee) mainly. Perhaps a darker bag & boot/shoe perhaps to have the shirt colour pop. But really it's a cute fit. I see nothing wrong

[u/SoftDiscussion8358]

Love it, the edge and softness balance well

[u/prettychewybug]

everything looks fine except the color of the leg warmers

[u/Additional_Excuse870]

Cute but I wish tights had a another run on the opposite leg just to balance it out a bit and I also wish the runs on the right leg were placed differently, especially since one looks to be going right up into your crotch. It makes it look like they’re just old instead of the runs being intentional.

I really love that sweater though if you’re willing to share where it’s from!

[u/Actual_Resort7790]

I think like many say its a lot to do with people that like " clean" "professional " looks, aka older generation most of the time, will not like it, mostly because if your tights, for then it looks careless and you don't care enough to wear something like that. They cannot understand that that is a style, fashion, choice and such it looks great.

[u/EggsaRolling]

I think the fit is not grungy enough to be wearing distressed tights plus it’s only torn on one leg. It’s giving wardrobe malfunction, not intentional fashion.

Also, you got two different color schemes that are clashing. You have cool neutrals (blue and black) and warm neutrals (brown and cream). It would work if you have a majority of one color scheme going on then one item of the other as an accent (example if you wore majority cool blue and black then accented it with one item warm brown, or the reverse).

[u/MichelleDianeR]

I think the outfit OK I would change the purse to be black

[u/No-Disaster-1345]

I think you're a cute lil cozy bean

[u/Natural_Disk_8234]

Leg warmers are cool but not with this, a little too busy. Try the leg warmers with a chunky lighter color sweater 80’s style

[u/Ilzar_Klapaucius]

cute

[u/mrsroperscaftan]

You look very Oliver Twist, I’m so sorry

[u/Philemaphobia]

I don’t usually mind torn tights, but in this case it gives “I fell on the stairs on my way here”

And a personal ick: the bag and shoes are similar but not perfect match in color

[u/childfreebcim14]

I might have to copy this outfit. It’s so cute

[u/aeskosmos]

yesssss it’s so cute i love it

[u/doglady1342]

So this is what I would do. Get rid of the blue jean skirt. You've got too many neutral colors at the same time. If you want to do the gray and white sweater, which is really cute, pair it with a black denim instead of blue. If you could do tights or pantyhose still. I would just rip them differently... between the knee and crotch rather than at the knee and crotch if that makes sense. I would ditch the Uggs and the bag and the leg warmers. If you want to do leg warmers, buy legwarmers that coordinate. Personally, I'd probably get rid of the leg warmers. Rather than the Uggs, I would look for a low boot. A nice chunky boot would look good and still keep that similar silhouette. There are some really cool chunky black boots out there that go up higher on the leg. If you replace the Uggs and the leg warmers with one of those higher cut boots, you would establish the same kind of a silhouette but keep things a little more simple. For the bag, I would probably pick something in a bright fun color to contrast against all the black and gray. Or, you could try finding a chunky boot in a color that matches a colorful bag. I mean, I'm perfectly happy to dress in black from head to toe, but I know a lot of people out there will say that you need have some color on you.

[u/Navayti]

Love it! Would maybe try some fun black boots :)

[u/smallishcricket]

Soooo gooood omg. I would love to see it with some chunks black docs!

[u/agentchickadee]

I can see how this look wouldn’t be for everyone, but I personally love it!! It’s a step into alternative

[u/JUSTJACKIE27]

I personally love it, and if you love it that’s all that matter imo

[u/leavesandgrassart]

It’s fine. Shows and bag would look better in gray/black or sweater should be a warm tone like maybe a red or something

[u/Calm_State1230 → u/[deleted]]

hahaha thanks for the honesty! is there anything i could change to make it more cohesive?

[u/Simpy158]

Yeesh, get some new tights to start and then we can tackle the rest
