DP. I love this dress.


Tuckernuck has a real talent for taking a basic pretty good dress and just ruining it with some extra “flair.” Why are those sleeves so big? Makes the whole dress look dumb. I’m not crazy about the tailoring and the collar also looks like it might be too big a. In no way does this look casual elegant.


I completely agree with you!! There is something about all of the Tuckernuck label clothes that are infantalizing and inelegant. Maybe because they seem committed to putting an extra flounce or poof on absolutely everything.

I would wear high rise midi pencil skirt with silk blouse or sweater with nice jewelry and pumps.

Most Tuckernuck pieces are so…specific looking I think of them as “trendy” for a specific crowd. Sort of like Lily Pulitzer but a slightly different crowd. People like them ok but really they wear them to fit in. If you think they are beautiful go for it, we all have free choice!

Ok. Isn't it great that we can all have different opinions?

No! It’s ugly and bad for a casual elegant lunch.

If you are worried about being under dressed wear a casual dress. Like someone recommended above sweater dress and boots. Or a normal shirt dress.


This is nice https://www.saksfifthavenue.com/product/elie-tahari-the-aviva-cashmere-midi-dress-0400022971085.html?dwvar_0400022971085_size=X-Small&dwvar_0400022971085_color=DEEP+FOREST&site_refer=NPLA_GGL_Shopping&country=US¤cy=USD

This is good too

These look like work dresses, not something you'd wear to a casually elegant lunch.


Are you the poster who also rejected the tuckernuck wine colored dress? You are picky!

I like all 3 options - the TN dress, and these 2 Bloomingdales ones (I prefer the second Bloomie option but both could work very well).


Tuckernuck is maga. That store is done. Don’t dress like that, you’ll be mocked.


Go away. You sound stupid.

Both of those outfits are hideous. Find some new inspo.

I agree. The second top is nice. The first one is sloppy

If you go with the first, wear nice shoes (not the sneakers shown). Second outfit is good. You’ll see a whole range of styles. Just look nice.
