Going to a gig - NO CLUE what to wear

[marimo]

I know, I know, it's hardly a wedding and I'll be in the dark.

But it's my first night out since DS was born (13 months ago) and I really ought to make an effort to look...awake? Nice? Fun? Cool?

I haven't really got a handle on "My Style" in, oooh, a good ten years and since DS was born I have reached new lows of cluelessness regarding what suits me/doesn't suit me/I like/is appropriate.

So, please save me a week or so of heartache and give me some pointers.

I am: size 10/12, curvy, short, blonde, pale.

I go to a lot of gigs and it's always pretty much anything goes so don't worry! There will be everything from trainers, jeans and t shirts to high heels and dresses.

Who are you going to see?

I tend to wear long/oversized t-shirt type things to gigs, plus jeans and Converse. Try ASOS and New Look.

Don't know if you're into makeup, but I tend to put more effort into my makeup than my clothes for a gig. I do wear it all the time, but for a gig I really jazz it up and wear vibrant colours that I wouldn't normally wear every day. There are loads of great makeup tutorials on YouTube - try Pixiwoo.

Depends what gig it is. Would suggest going for nice jeans and a nice top or indie Tshirt. Again...depends what you're going to see. If it's rock or indie don't wear your best shoes - they'll get trodden on (especially if you frequent the mosh pit!). Also shoes/boots should be relatively comfy as I'm assuming you'll be on your feet all night!

Have fun!

I love you all. Thank you. Tis a Pulp gig so the "indie" route probably about right.

[Deesus]

Fab! I love Pulp! Definitely jeans, indie T, boots and a fair whack of eyeliner!

at Pulp gig.

How about something like this or this or this with black opaques and loafers.

But have to agree that anything goes! Have fun

[tethersend]

yy to eyeliner too

[marimo]

Ooooh, tethers, I actually already own a dress like the first one. Like all three!

[FoundWanting]

tethersend Look!

Have a great time, OP.

[tethersend]

HOLY FUCK FoundWanting

Thank you!

I...I... I... like it!!!

Do you think the zip down the back is ok?

[FoundWanting]

I think it is just fine.

Anyway, you won't see it.
