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.

Everyone is seriously overthinking this. It’s a football match. Just wear great jeans and a top and something to keep warm in when you see outside. I’ve been to Club Wembley. Most people look fairly ordinary. Wembley is a great experience if you win. If you don’t it’s pants. It’s not The Ritz. You can more of less wear what you want.

Careful. The OP will be saying you're being "snippy"...😉

Just being pragmatic. It’s football.

Ignore the ignorant snippy remarks you asked for advice, you showed the meal you are going for and still they come. I too have been to Wembly before.
I would wear your blazer just in case it is chilly, a nice shirt, and a good pair of jeans or trousers as shown in the picture above.
Enjoy your day.

PS smart comfortable footwear.

I think if you’d mentioned the exact scenario in your OP people would have been less “snippy” (except most people haven’t been remotely snippy).

I’m a bit jealous of you going to Wembley. I haven’t been since 2017.

I've had similar responses in S&B when asking for help with "want to look nice but it's not especially dressy outfits".

I actually find this kind of dressing really difficult. I can do proper dressed up easily enough, well turned out casual I need help with, but the MN response is always " it's nothing special wear what you like ". I don't know what I like that's why I'm asking 😆
