If you were in your 40s and going out 'clubbing' what would you wear?

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

I usually wear skinnies and high heels but am getting bored of it. I have decent legs but hate my norks.

If skinnies, are there any nice tops around? If not skinnies, what?

[cece]

I was just going to come on and say skinnies and high heels... so watching with interest.

[CoteDAzur]

Try a dress?

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

But what KIND of dress, Cote? :)

[iteminbaggingarea]

Wear what you feel great in. Skinnies short skirt whatever. What are norks? I would get me to Zara. A minidress that is the t shirt, silk sack type with heels.

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Norks = boobs.

Never find anything I like in Zara, although love lots of it online.

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Not sure I ever feel great in anything, tbh.

[CoteDAzur]

Hard to say what kind of dress without knowing your body type & dress size

[MikeLitoris]

Well I'm 30's and last time I went out clubning I wore a black flarey type skirt, black short sleeve lace top and nudey-beige cage shoes.

Black clutch with some bright 3d flowers on.

I like to think I looked good

[MikeLitoris]

Clubbing obvz.

And reading that back it sounds rubbish.

[ViviDeBeauvoir]

No idea of your colouring/size etc or if you hate your norms because they're huge or because they're tiny but I e just bought this
And this

Both look pretty good on - I'm mid-late 30s, size 10-12 with big boobs that I don't like on show, bit of a mum tum and pretty good legs.

What sort of stuff do you like/feel good in usually?

[ViviDeBeauvoir]

Norms?! norks, obv.

[MikeLitoris]

They are both lovely vivi

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Thanks. I'm a 12. 32E. I like both ofthe 2 you linked to Viva, but they are the sort of thing I'd wear for work.

I hate looking 'tarty' and my norks make it easy for me to look both matronly and tarty combined. Not good!

The nicest things I've bought recently are:This and this but I don't see either of them as dancing items!

[MooMinCow]

Dress or pencil skirt with shoe/ankle boots? I go out regularly with (younger) workmates and tbh there's no way I could wear what they do (disco pants, cropped tops or minuscule skater dresses)! I just wear something I feel comfy and confident in, machine washable (as someone is bound to spill a drink over you) and great statement jewellery and lots of makeup they tell me I "look hot for my age" (39)

[SundaySimmons]

A hearing aid. :(

[ViviDeBeauvoir]

Hmm yes, you're right, I would wear them to work too if I wasn't on maternity leave

It's really hard dressing big boobs especially for clubbing - I find I can make the frumpiest of outfits look 'tarty' just by virtue of their size.

Can you link to some styles you like? Or a look you think you'd like?

[ViviDeBeauvoir]

Moomincow - I always get told I look good for my age because I always add on another 5 or 10 years

[MooMinCow]

Vivi will remember that!

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

I like this but don't really like showing the tops of my arms. And I pretty much always wear a black dress, if I'm not wearing skinnies.

[MikeLitoris]

I've got that dress remus and it is flattering on my belly but it is a bit see through.

[LEMisdisappointed]

Ear plugs!

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Agh -don't want see through!

[MikeLitoris]

Its not really bad but I wouldn't wear a thong under it

I dont think it would fare well under fluorescent lights if you didnt have black underwear.

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

:) Might try it on, but it would be good to have something other than skinnies or a black dress.
