If you were 50+ and a size 14/16, what would you wear to a rave?!

As we are going to one in about a month. It's a 45th birthday party and it's a proper full on rave, not fancy dress.

Confused

I have no idea. But I think this must be contender for the best thread title ever.

Fazackerley · 29/03/2019 10:40

By rave I mean a couple of djs, proper house music, old school techno music

Even typing this is making me feel ill.

Leggings and a T-shirt tbh

Nobody will care once they down the MDMA

Omg I'll look hideous in leggings and a t-shirt.

There had better be alcohol there

My pyjamas. Because I'd be at home in bed.

Fazackerley · 29/03/2019 10:51

Don't

I am dreading it.

No idea I’ve been stuck in cocktails at a nice bar and home before midnight hell for 20 years.

Jealous.

JellySlice · 29/03/2019 10:52

I think I might have to wear a bucket.

My first thought was "Good on you!" because I really could not be bothered to go to a rave. But clearly you're not utterly thrilled by the idea, either. So you might just come down with D&V the day before.

OTOH if you really do want to go, have a look at Cyberdog.

Maybe a Plain comfy Jumpsuit, bumbag
But jazz it up with accessories
Smile

Aethelthryth · 29/03/2019 10:55

Noise-cancelling headphones

Something with layers- not a great place for hot flushes

Comfortable shoes

Fazackerley · 29/03/2019 10:57

No hot flushes for me (hrt!)

I was thinking of a jumpsuit but only because I wear them all the time. Also they are a bit smart

Earplugs.

Fazackerley · 29/03/2019 10:59

Aw look at those fabulous thin women on the cyberdog website

I came on to say exactly that.

I vote twinset, pearls, tweed skirt, brogues, and noise cancelling headphones. Really really big ones with a Cath Kidston pattern.

MargoLovebutter · 29/03/2019 11:02

I'm nearly 50 and I'd have to take the piss and go full on 90s acid rave outfit. I'd be modelling my look on Yazz (when she was singing 'the only way is up'). I think if I popped enough MDMA, I might even be able to enjoy myself.

At least you can wear comfy shoes, so that your tired, ancient feet won't hurt so much.

GeorgeTheBleeder · 29/03/2019 11:03

Budget?

(Bored atm ...)

feelingverylazytoday · 29/03/2019 11:04

Jeans and a t-shirt. Bright colours are quite popular, apparently.

niceupthedanceagain · 29/03/2019 11:04

Jumpsuit
Leisurewear and some bling
Jeans

Just not tights and/or a dress!

Fazackerley · 29/03/2019 11:06

I will be wearing Stan smiths. That's all I know.

Oh god.

OP posts:
Astrid0208 · 29/03/2019 11:06

That sounds awful! I think a jumpsuit sounds like a good plan.

AdamNichol · 29/03/2019 11:07

Naught but dayglo body paint and a smile?

Ok..

These. With a well fitting but rather scruffy vest top.

Am not even joking.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 29/03/2019 11:10

Oooh , not a jumpsuit , how the Jeff do you pee ?

Jeans or a denim skirt and a stretchy vest top (to hold it all in place) and a lightweight overshirt that I could wear loose or tie at the waist depending on how hot I get .
And Converse . Nothing open toed .

52 , size 14 . Don't drink. (Don't do raves either .........but if I did Wink )

GeriGremlin · 29/03/2019 11:10

Jeans and hoody. Band, movie, tv show tshirt.
