Help! Going to a trendy bar/club - what to wear?!!!

What about some jeans, tucked into knee high boots? A classic but not ‘mutton’ look?

No sequins anywhere. Glitter isn’t the older ladies friend!

Are bars and trendy night clubs open now?

A tunic with smart leggings will look good A nice pair of kitten heels or boots to finish the look ! Wear your most confident smile and enjoy

I love your username!
I've no idea about what to wear, though.

Maybe have a look at Facebook pics of 'youngsters' on a similar night out and adapt the look for yourself.

A mask!

I go out with the young ones from work and usually wear jeans and small black suede boots and nice longer length top. As it’s summer I will wear linen trousers nice summer top and block heeled sandals and little bit of jewellery.

Maw Ronnie Scott’s is opening on August 1st.

Fatbirdslim I don’t know where in the country you live, but if you were clubbing in Newcastle you could wear anything, or hardly anything.
No one notices what anyone is wearing, anyway.
Have a great time

Night clubs are closed.

....but when I do go..I favour the classy look of twinset and pearls and a tweed skirt.Flat lace up shoes make sure I don’t fall over when dancing the night away.I also wear a flower in my grey permed hair.You can’t go wrong with classic clothes.

I recommend palazzo pants, a loose sleeveless top and a thigh length or longer long floaty jacket. I bought just such an outfit from Evans last year for under £100. It’s comfortable, versatile and age-appropriate.

lemongrove- perfect!

Just what I’d choose to kind of blend in lemon but I would add fav brooch and nice little hand bag, matching, to complete the look with some lippy and compact for powederin the nose when things warm up ?.

If it's young people I think you'll be surprised how little they're wearing ?
I like Doris19's suggestion of a tunic (or short dress) with leggings (or opaque tights). Dressy but comfortable shoes.
It's likely to be warm in a club.
Don't take a coat: I was asked by some random chap in a bar in London why I'd brought a coat once ?
Don't take a big handbag ? ?
Have fun ?

You're not wrong. I once saw a girl in the Bigg Market wearing a thong, a tutu and duct tape instead of a bra. Nothing else, other than vertiginous stilettos.

Ooh - winces at the duct tape being taken off......

Lemon what have I told you about raiding my wardrobe?

Gagajo one of my neighbours moaned to me once about how his teenage daughter would turn up the heating by several degrees in the house, wear thick sweaters etc but could go out to the Bigg Market on a Friday night in winter clad only in a short skirt and strappy top !

lemongrove that look is very 'in' just now.
In fact, my usual attire

I'm never out of fashion.

I love your name fatbirdslim

I’m not sure where you are in the country but I would say just dress for you (perhaps with a bit of an edge) . Push the boundaries a little bit but don’t completely change your usual style or else you will feel uncomfortable . Going to a trendy bar doesn’t mean you need to dress like a freak !

Culottes are back in fashion now and look lovely with a wedge sandal and nautical style top. Or how about a midi or maxi dress ?

The fashion world is your oyster . Have a lovely time I’m just a teensy bit

What about an off the shoulder top with a skirt and low heels? X

Oh and a nice clutch handbag with a shoulder strap. X

Don’t forget your mask

Juliet27

A mask!

An absolutely essential accessory I would think.

Especially after looking at tonight's news.
And a 2 metre measuring stick with a cattle prod on the end.

Don’t forget your mask

Get one that matches your outfit though. X

Yes, don't spoil a lovely outfit with a clashing mask.

I must make some more to match all my outfits.
