Okay. Instead of taking over the workwear thread. Ideas/pics for nice outfits for drinks and maybe a spot of dancing on summer evenings, please? Especially for those of us who quite like a bit of leg on show.

Yes big

RonaldMcDonald · 21/05/2014 00:16

I like the scallop shorts and these there are also a set of beaded ones that look nice but are poss a ball ache in terms of the beading

EduardoBarcelona · 21/05/2014 00:20

They look flared of leg tho

RonaldMcDonald · 21/05/2014 00:31

I bought some "runner" style ones which look great and are v admired but are laughable as I am so far from a runner and am, let us face matters, far too old
i am now considering all other shorts including skorts

shorts have been my evening wear for about the last 3 yrs and am almost bored to death of them now although I keep coming back to them
I have been wearing the pj bottoms idea but feel a fool

loved the banana republic trews and have a fair bit of similar, great for day but associate too much with work now

noddyholder · 21/05/2014 07:15

I have some evening type jogging trousers I really like esp with heels and fitted top

noddyholder · 21/05/2014 07:15

Love the scallop ones but like that flared shape after all the straight ones

EduardoBarcelona · 21/05/2014 07:29

Someone at work had floppy slim harems on yest. Looked ludicrous

noddyholder · 21/05/2014 07:35

Don't ever wear jersey ones but have other I love

noddyholder · 21/05/2014 07:41

My face evening outfit last few years has been silk harems vintage shell shape tops and gold strappy heels

EduardoBarcelona · 21/05/2014 07:53

harems make me look fat
and a bit stupid

noddyholder · 21/05/2014 07:58

Lol at stupid and fat I do find them slimming though

RonaldMcDonald · 21/05/2014 08:43

I have all the harems too Noddy. I stopped wearing them when I went for a drink avec brother and he and his friends did STOP HAMMER TIME literally all night
I never see them now without slightly wanting to do the dance

I didn't find them porkifying though but that may be because I was so thankful to finally get out of ultra skinnies

I'm on the shorts and the pj bottoms

noddyholder · 21/05/2014 08:54

I am wearing more flared things generally trousers skirts etc

noddyholder · 21/05/2014 08:56

I have never had any hammer time comments though Smile.

RonaldMcDonald · 21/05/2014 09:16

like these ish

She looks good in them I do like something less 'yummy mummy' playground which is a uniform where I live the skinnies/chinos blouse combo atm. I love all the backless stuff am but difficult with boobs

RonaldMcDonald · 21/05/2014 09:50

agreed
I have grand melones and no arse and therefore am farked for loads of fashion.
My Doreen style bra poking out the back of a backless number...lol

noddyholder · 21/05/2014 10:03

You don't need to be wearing one of those bras! But agree strapless virtually impossible.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 21/05/2014 17:03

Where are you finding backless stuff? I don't want totally backless but I do like a dipped back (ie not too low that I can't wear a bra).

Love those TS shorts.

Harem trousers not for me - I'd look like a Weeble.

noddyholder · 21/05/2014 17:11

I have seen a few backless things can't remember where prob zara as have been there I need bra so no good I like these thoughmore me than the more formal lace t shirts

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 21/05/2014 17:18

That's nice - the neck looks very high though.

I also need a bra, but I have a couple of tops with a dipped back and really like them. They are very old and scruffy though - I'd like something more structured.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 21/05/2014 17:20

Too warm for summer dancing but this looks nice.
