outfit ideas please - 40s, Sat eve in upmarket hotel

[dedado]

I don't think skinny jeans and a nice top will cut it, but could be wrong. I've not been out much for years. I don't like wearing black and feel more comfortable in trousers than a skirt and bare legs. Any ideas suggested. It's a sat eve dinner and drinks in a classy but trendy hotel.

this sort of thing?

How about some patterned trousers with a plain top and heels?

I'm 5'4" so the jumpsuit probably wouldn't work. Can't decide if I like patterned trousers or not but thanks for your replies.

If you don't like patterned trousers, how about plain trousers in a pretty colour?

For example - a top like this with trousers like this

That's a nice outfit Twinklestein.

Blazer, skinny trousers or smart skinny jeans, silk vest and heels. Looking forward to hearing more ideas.
