First date at Springsteen Gig

Could you suggest a cool and not too "try hard" outfit for a Springsteen gig?

Early 40s, busty, size 16. I guess I'll need layers as early June is unpredictable?

My style icon is Kirstie Allsopp (similar looks) so I'm a bit all at sea!

Seriously? Your first date? Wow.

cherrybomme · 18/05/2016 22:06

Oh my gosh. He is/was hot to trot. Hope you have a great time, lucky lucky lucky x

TwentyOneGuns · 18/05/2016 22:14

Great first date! He plays for ages so I'd say comfy shoes for a start :).

I think I'd go for jeans/nice top/flat shoes, with the top being something quite 'you' - maybe an interesting pattern or unusual cut?

I had a look in mind as I was reading right up until you said kirstie allsop. I can't imagine what she would wear to a concert. I'm going to one of the concerts too. I'm expecting it to be more of a jeans and leather jacket affair than a floral 50s dress affair.

ImperialBlether · 18/05/2016 22:16

Ohh you've reminded me I'm going next week! How did you meet him?

JapaneseSlipper · 18/05/2016 22:22

"I can't imagine what she would wear to a concert."

The same thing she wears everywhere - a big felted coat with enormous buttons. Grin

MrsLettuce · 18/05/2016 22:23

Certainly comfy shoes.

burnishedsilver · 18/05/2016 22:26

Would something like this work?

Are you seated or standing?

Andbabymakesthree · 18/05/2016 22:34

Wow what a first date!

burnishedsilver · 18/05/2016 22:48

Would something along these lines suit? Don't stress too much about it - You're going to have a great night regardless of what you wear.

White Springsteen tank top and blue jeans à la Courtney Cox in 'Dancing in the dark'?

ExitPursuedByABear · 18/05/2016 23:18

I'm going next Wednesday

ImperialBlether · 18/05/2016 23:23

Is that Manchester, Exit?

ImperialBlether · 18/05/2016 23:24

Because I'm going there, too!

Burnished, I love that look. I have a denim jacket so if I can get a similar dress I'll be sorted. Thank you

Please go wearing a bandana on your head and another one tucked in the back pocket of your jeans!

AgathaMystery · 19/05/2016 20:47
