Evening out - what do you wear??

Just curious as to what you all wear on nights out? I'm talking nice meals out as opposed to clubs or bars.
Jeans and a nice top just feels so dull.
Any brands you recommend that sell dressier items? But not sequins and leopard.

I'm not the most fashionable of people but I know what I like and what suits my shape, the last few times out this is what I've worn:

Black corduroy A-line skirt, black tights, floral high neck long sleeve blouse, black suede cowboy boots, black teddy jacket.

Black skinny jeans, burgundy ankle boots, white & black striped shirt, khaki blazer.

Black and white polka dot dress, tan skinny belt, black tights, black leather jacket, burgundy ankle boots.

Like I said I'm not the trendiest but I get a lot of inspiration from Pinterest and I've learnt to dress for my (pear) shape Blush

My evenings out - pjs walking the rubbish to the bins ! Grin

DrFoxtrot · 15/02/2019 21:48

You all sound so stylish Blush I need an overhaul

Mixingitall · 15/02/2019 21:54

I love hush dresses with ankle boots and tights, like this: www.hush-uk.com/womenswear/daywear/dresses_skirts/farah_midi_firework_star_black.htm

I also really like Great Plains and Mango have some awesome dresses.

Jeans and a nice top don’t have to be boring, black coated jeans are fab for going ou with heals, trainers or boots.

Have a look at doesmybumlook40 on Instagram or google for the blog.

Enjoy your night out!

Rarely go out, but birthday tomorrow and going out for a meal with family and will be wearing a denim boiler suit from Topshop. Rolled up at the bottom with heeled ankle boots.

NigellasGuest · 15/02/2019 22:21

Look at Sosandar for dresses to wear with boots. Mango, H&M, Zara also good and inexpensive. Others may disagree!

DrFoxtrot · 15/02/2019 23:35

I hate my legs but I wear dresses with opaques for work so why not evening? I tend to stick with jeans/ coated jeans or my fake leather trousers. I'm feeling inspired to look for dresses for going out.
