What do I wear to a club in Chelsea? Please help!

[Butwhatdoyoudoallday]

I've been invited to a club on the Kings Road in Chelsea this weekend and I have absolutely no idea what to wear! Last time I went clubbing, I was probably still a teenager, and it was acceptable to wear combats and a crop top!

I've looked at the dress code for the club and it says "smart casual" which doesn't really say anything to me, and I'm a bit worried about looking like a pleb by either trying too hard or not hard enough.

Is it a dress and heels thing, or do I need to play it a bit lower key? I can spend about £100 on a new outfit, am 5'5" and an hourglass size ten.

Thank you.

Nobody?

Is jeans and a nice top just copping out?

Which club?

A really nice top and designer jeans and heels is what most people wear IME. Depends which club though.

Watch Made in Chelsea for ideas?

Depends which club.. if it's one full of royals I would have thought something more akin to cocktail dress type thing more appropriate. Something slinky and slutty from Karen Millen :o

It's Public if that makes any difference. If it's jeans and heels I can cover most aspects - may be looking for a new lovely top though, so if you can help that's great!

I've never seen made in Chelsea - will google now.

this is the sort of thing I was thinking of Not my usual thing, but could be fun to do for a night out!

I haven't been to this club, but I have clubbed on the Kings Road in recent weeks and I'd avoid jeans - it will be smarter than that. Definitely heels, and slim fit trousers/slinky top or cocktail length dress. Reiss, Zara, Karren Millen, Ted Baker, TopShop will all be able to kit you out - have fun and come back to review it for us afterwards!

Ooh - and get some St Tropez fake tan - everyone will look like they're freshly back from marbella!

The sequins look a little scary, headfairy! Oddly I think I could manage them in something like this

Or would I be better off going for this or this

I think I might get a second wear out of the Oasis ones, but expect they're a bit drab and not going-out enough. It sucks being deeply unstylish!

I think that's the point OP :o I'm not keen on the first one you linked to, but that's probably because it really wouldn't suit me (i'm not very good at being objective), second one looks a bit officey, the third one is the most suitable. But I do think the look is more glitzy and glam. Sequins, sparkles, tarty, go for broke!

Agree with headfairy - the first two are nice day dresses. Third would work, but bling it up with some statement jewellery

One of the Oasis dresses, with heels, or skinny trousers (NOT jeans!) and a lovely top. I wouldn't sorry about the tan, but make sure you have good nails and hair.

Dress and heels, statement chandalier earrings, mani and pedi, fake tan, lashes, and a glass of prosecco before you go out.

enjoy.

arf madamecholet You've just described my outfit for this saturday night :o minus the fake lashes, could never do them - oh and the mani pedi, done my toes myself, but hate anything on my nails. I do have lashings of fake tan on so that hopefully it'll fade to a suitably convincing shade by Saturday. I have GIANT gold hoop earrings I'm not entirely sure I'll get away with, millions of gold bangles and a bright red frock. Very bold for me!

Not going out in Chelsea though, party at a private members club in the City :o

Am just weening myself off lash extensions so have bout MAC lashes for tomos night... am hoping they won't chaff!!

In my pre dc days I could easily have got addicted to lash extensions madamecholet, now I just have to make do with more mascara than one person should decently wear. I willl look like Barbara Cartland gone to pot! :o
