She shared a photo of herself wearing an asymmetrical mint green dress, with the material reaching to her knees on one side, paired with peep-toe pumps.
The Reddit user chose the ASOS DESIGN Curve Cowl Neck Midi Pencil Dress, £38.
Users were quick to express their opinions and praise the dress.
One Redditor wrote: “The dress is beautiful and you look amazing in it.” It’s a little too summery for a Christmas party in my opinion. I think it depends on the venue and dress code.
She suggested, “Perhaps you could add darker accessories?” such as a dark green shawl/cardigan, as well as darker shoes and nylon tights to make it more winter-appropriate.”
Another agreed: “Love this dress!” Where does it come from?’ before saying, “This is a summer dress, so you’ll definitely want to dress it up for winter with tights and some sort of layer on top, like a cardigan, cape, faux fur jacket, sparkly blazer or collar underneath if you’re feeling fancy.” . !
“Make it white, silver or gold, think ‘Christmas cookies with frosted mint’!”
Others wrote: “Would be sooo cute with a faux fur jacket omg” and “Yeah definitely…need to add a little sparkle for that Christmas vibe.” I like outfits that can be worn several times in different seasons.”
However, some users called the dress “too summery” and “too poofy” for a work event.
Someone explained: “I love the dress on you, but your neckline is too low and the side slit is too long for a corporate party.”
Another added: “It depends on what you do for a living…” It would be fine as a summer dress, but depending on the type of Christmas party it might be too revealing.”
Someone else suggested: “I think it suits you very well, but it would look better in a deeper color.”
Meanwhile, one user wrote: “Too summery for winter.” Too busty and too wide legs for a work event.”
Others exclaimed: “I love this about you!! I support you wearing this anytime and for any reason” and “Nice but won’t you freeze!!!??”
One fan of a mint dress that read, “Dark green tights, white cardigan (scent for some flattering modesty and warmth or maybe something with pearl accents)”
“You can use copper, pale pink or even red accessories and you’re good to go.
“Although with your tone, I think the first two colors will complement you well. Think soft rose, copper or rose gold.”
Another agreed: “I love it and seconded the proposal to winterize it.”
“Some warm tights, a sweater/coat, and maybe a cute Santa hat!”
“A necklace with lights, embellishments or fuzzy tinsel would be so fun!”
“Anything to make it more Christmassy would be great!” Unless it’s a formal work party (how boring) lol.”
