Whatever you want. He's your ex. No need to dress up.

ELCismyspiritnana · 31/07/2025 14:43

It depends why you are meeting. If you are just friendly and having a casual coffee to discuss aspects of the separation I wouldn't dress up and just go as I would to meet any friend.
If you want to rub his face in how fabulous you look, we will need your size, style and venue to suggest options.

What is the purpose of the meeting? That will depend on what you should wear and what impression you want to give him.

What should I wear?

A little more detail might be required.

I'd wear running shoes, personally.

Smallchangebigstep · 31/07/2025 14:45

Doesn't it all depends on why you are meeting him. How friendly or antagonistic you are with each other. Where you are meeting him . And what time you are meeting him.
A lot of variables to consider that we don't have any information about.

A Versace Wrap Dress, they are fantastic.

A suspicious expression.

beetr00 · 31/07/2025 15:17

@maslinpan 🤣

Eightdayz · 31/07/2025 15:50

Also vote for running shoes.

Asics are great (other brands are available)

GloriousGoosebumps · 31/07/2025 15:53

The question is "which version of yourself" do you want to present? The "look what you've thrown away version"? or the "I've moved on version"? or some other version of yourself?

outlanderish · 31/07/2025 15:56

Following - this will be interesting!

Whatadayyyyyyy · 31/07/2025 15:58

Totally depends on the purpose of the meeting!

lonelyplanet13 · 31/07/2025 16:37

Depends on how you left it ?
if it was because he was a twat then personally I’d match the toxic energy . You best believe I would be looking immaculate: hair , make up , nice dress - just to remind him that life goes on and is much better without him ! Xx

SpicyMarge98 · 31/07/2025 16:42

Well what do you want to wear! Who are you now and what do you want to highlight about yourself?

Tartanboots · 31/07/2025 16:47

Been there, done that. Don't go! Sorry I know that's not very helpful clothes wise.

What should I wear?

Did he leave you over communication issues?

Painrelief · 31/07/2025 16:51

This is such a vague question I’m not sure anyone can answer without any detail at all ?!!
I don’t get the point of the post tbh if you ain’t going to add a bit more to it ?

CherryAlmondLattice · 31/07/2025 17:02

This will do.

@CherryAlmondLattice I love the outfit choice 🤣🙌🙌 I want one !

Arlanymor · 31/07/2025 17:11

You've not come back, so I would like to proffer: BIN BAG.
