Meeting our bank manager - what to wear? **Thread title edited at OP's request**

[IsThatWise]

I am a stay at home mum and a carer for our autistic son. I am pretty much home bound, though I do go for nails, tan and hair. My husband is much more higher profile than I am, on a very much local scale, and I choose to stay home. I’ve been invited to meet our bank manager on an ‘informal’ basis, but still at the bank. I am conscious that it all sounds horrendous but what the hell do I wear. Please help!

Just wear what you normally wear

Whatever you would normally wear on that day - I wouldn't make a particular effort in this situation!

Whatever you would be wearing on a normal day doing chores in the high street.
Jeans and trainers for me.

It’s jeans and trainers though, usually.
I know it’s not a typical attitude, but we have had an invite to join the bank.
It’s an awkward occasion that I need a bit more help with, am happy to dress down. Thank you, though.

Um, what you’d wear to run around town in. Jeans and a T-shirt?

This level of overthinking must be exhausting.

I wear jeans and trainers to the bank. It's not as if you're going for a job interview!

Why are you meeting the bank manager? What event is the invite for?

Just wear anything.

unless it's Coutts and then wear a newer pair of trainers

Orange Mankini & white stilettos for him.

Dior ballgown & DMs for her.

I’ve been invited to meet our bank manager on an ‘informal’ basis, but still at the bank.

When my bank gives me invites I say no thanks. I can seek out my own ducts and don't need them pushed upon me.

As for what to wear? Really weird to even co sister wearing anything but clothes!

*my own PRODUCTS not ducts

Am I right - they are looking for your custom, not the other way around? If so, I wouldn’t worry. Remember they want your custom.

What do you usually wear? Jeans? Wear jeans then. Throw on a blazer, or a coat over your usual Tee/top/jumper and you’re done.

Well, thank you for the advice; the rolling eyes were particularly kind.

Well you don't really need advice on what to wear to the bank. It's not really an event.

Is it an ‘invite only’ affair? Like a prestigious Bank? Bank of Dubai etc?

I posted a relevant question on a relevant topic. I am bemused by the spite. I am not at fault here.
It is an event for me, I don’t get out much because of our circumstances and I just wanted some advice as I was deeply conscious of doing the right thing. Why on earth do women behave like this to one another?

Bank manager here - you are definitely over thinking this just wear what you normally would no need to dress up. Do you bank with this bank already ? We usually invite high earners/ high net worth customers in to "meet the manager" and have a chat to see if we can help with finances and we take no notice whatsoever of how customers are dressed so don't worry

@IsThatWise mumsnet can be a very mean place sometimes. Don't take it to heart

I think what everyone else is trying to say though, you're over thinking it a little.
Just wear what you would normally wear xx

In the kindest possible way I think people are just a little confused as to us it's an everyday event and not in need of an outfit we have to give much thought to.

I would wear a smartish pair of skinny jeans with a blazer (navy if you have one), a check neck white shirt and just some pumps - maybe tan or leopard? And a nice bag.

I obviously meant V neck!!

I get the idea that OP is quite anxious and doesn't leave the house much. She is anxious to do the right thing, hence why she's asking advice.

My advice would be to wear casual but not scruffy. There's no need for anything dressy like a suit but I would wear smart jeans, boots and a jacket rather than trackies and trainers.

Thank you for some of your kind and practical replies.
Yes, I probably am over thinking it, but I just wanted some help on what to wear, tbh and I just wanted to make my husband proud of me.
I just wanted a recommendation for some nice trousers. Shouldn’t have mentioned the bank, possibly? Not at fault here, though a bit hurt. Hope you all feel you’ve done well.

I think you can wear what you like, if you prefer to dress more smartly then would wear something like a knee length dress and cardigan or trousers and a blouse or jumper. I don't think what you wear will affect the result though, would guess they are trying to sell you things. Hope it goes well and hope you get to go out somewhere else too soon. I have an ASD son too.
