HELP! Football, meal, Wembley - too cold, too smart, too far to walk…partial to Vinted bargains…please dress me!

[Hipla]

I’m decisive. I always want to be that cool, confident dresser….

So to help me, things you need to know…

Casually smart, but possibly needing to be warm.

Options I already have:

• a pair of black suede ankle boots, but happy to buy more. Love them with a dress.
• a royal blue blazer style jacket.
• a tan leather jacket.

I would love to buy , if I can find something.

My team colours are red, white and black - might be nice to give a nod to this.
( I’m considering red ankle boots, or even shoe)

I am

• a size 6 in trousers
• 10 in a dress, 12 if it wraps
• size 3.5 or 4 in shoes

As I said, partial to a Vinted (or an eBay bargain).

🤞🤞🤞

Thank you.

??? Do you never go to football? Is this for the play off finals? No one remotely cares! Wear jeans, trainers and a shirt. Bung a team scarf on. Or a baseball cap. I’m assuming you are not a WAG or royalty! No one ever wears a dress. Other than VIPs. Try wide leg trousers and a shirt or cashmere top of its chilly.

I usually take a warmer jacket in case it’s windy. Waterproof one if it’s raining. Parka style works. I think you are over thinking this.

@TizerorFizz - yes I go to the football….often…you seem rather cross….

Did my post confuse you - the meal is at Wembley. We have Club Wembley tickets, meal, drinks and the game.

I have been to Club Wembley before, just wanted something new and appropriate to wear.

Are your worried about dressing up for a meal after the match? No one dresses up like that in NW London. Generally people put a lot of effort into not looking like they’ve made any effort. As PP has said dress for comfort and weather (layers). If you really want to feel like you are making an effort (which I get) focus on cool jewellery and nice trainers. And then buy the team scarf and wear it semi ironically with your understated outfit.
I know I sound mean and I do understand your excitement but comfort is key here.

[Procrastatron]

Never heard of club Wembley but sounds like relevant info

[TizerorFizz]

I’m also assuming the meal out won’t be grand around Wembley. Are you travelling into London? Wembley also limit the size of bag to be taken in. It used to be A4 size. They security check everything.

I don't think you have to go OTT for Club Wembley, but dress how you feel good. I haven't seen the weather for next weekend, but you'll be travelling a long way, so yes, as PP said, go for light layers that can fold up in your bag and comfort.

How are you travelling? are you staying over?

Most of all, good luck.

I thought no one from Sunderland ever needed a coat. 😆

[Hipla]

😂@Smartsub …might that be a Geordie girl….Oot on the toon…..😂

[MyNameIsAngelicaSchuyler]

Are you a blade?!

[Smartsub]

I've been for the play off finals twice and both times it was sweltering hot, so you need to plan for that too.

[nearlyspringyay]

Club Wembley isn't that special, wear whatever you'd normally wear!

[Smartsub]

@MyNameIsAngelicaSchuyler

Are you a blade?!

That would be premature 😆

Yep!

[WalkingOnSonshine]

We did this a fair few years ago now, most (including me) just wore jeans or shorts (it was baking) with our football shirts or a tshirt.

You are more likely to look overdressed than underdressed. Jeans, white tshirt and oversized blazer at the most dressy really.

[Hipla]

@nearlyspringyay @skippy67

Why is everyone so snippy on here….I’ve been before, I know the range of outfits. I know what a treat this is and how well we were looked after last time.

I asked for help, in ‘style and beauty’ for ideas of outfits…instead a range of narky responses about ‘how not very special’ this is..

[Nomad916]

Jeans, nice trainers and a white shirt.

[Itpassed]

Sheffield fans maybe? Wearsmymoney on Insta's vv stylish and regular football goer. Might be worth a look. Have a great time!

[FindMeInTheSunshine]

Do you know if there is a dress code? I think a lot of hospitality sections at clubs don't allow any club "colours", ie football shirts or scarves, but I doubt they stop you wearing eg a blouse with red in it!

I'm envious by the way, I've been to Wembley plenty of times and would love to try out Club Wembley one day.

Imagine you are going to life of Riley then dress down x 10. London and club Wembley are not remotely posh, it’s chicken in a basket. Wear jeans, a red and white top and a nice jacket. Black ankle boots will be fine, it’s going to be 21 and hazy. I’m sitting in the cheap seats and might wear a red and white shirt dress but with trainers and a jacket.

[superram]

Wears my money is a brentford fan so with the stripes you could copy. Except sometimes no club shirts in club Wembley.

[Hipla]

@superram ‘chicken in a basket’…’not remotely posh’ 😂

Three course meal, bottles of wine on request, hot drinks at half time, tea and cakes before we leave….
