A funk all nighter? Mid summer.

Actually the most important thing I need to know is can I wear trainers? And some sort of flippy sun dress ?

What do you mean? I'm 50 and was a huge clubber back in the day. 80% of the time we were all in trainers. Admittedly, I couldn't pull off the combats and tiny, teeny halter top (with no bra😱) these days, but I'm still welded to my trainers.

I went clubbing recently (Gok Wan clubbing for oldies 7pm-12, was fab!) and wore my paper-bag jeans, slogan tee and favourite trainers. Popped leather biker jacket on top and cross-body bag- done! My best mate had a sequinned, long skirt on with trainers, tee and denim jacket. Easy dressing for all the dancing. Jumpsuit also sounds perfect.

Have a great time.

You were wearing trainers (or combats) to clubs in the 70s. They wouldn't have let you in!

70s? I thought you were 50 like me? I'm talking 90s!

Sorry, meant to quote the comment above, but you get my gist!

Ahhhh, I forgot that you need to stick to that theme! 🙈.

I'd say like PP, Northern Soul style- trainers, wide trousers, vest-top/ early 80s sports' top. You'll have great fun.
