DD is 14 and lives mostly in hoodies, combat pants and DMs. She would rather eat her own eyeballs than put on a dress, but she has been invited to a very high profile event this summer. She will be on a team representing her country and at the end of the week there will be a gala dinner of adults and teens from all the nationalities taking part, the host country is France. She has already stated she will not wear a dress, and has never worn heels in her life. She is tall, slim and has very eye catching short curly red hair. She prefers an androgynous look and has been impressed by the style of Annie Lennox and Tilda Swinton - not trying to look like a boy, but not trying to look like a girl either. She doesn’t really enjoy shopping, so would not relish a traipse round the shops. However she knows what she does like - she wants a trouser suit, but whatever she wears underneath the jacket must not be cropped or low cut. The closest she has got to a look she would like is this, but I am worried she will get too hot in a suit and shirt in France in august, so wondering what to put under the jacket. Also wondering about footwear.
if anyone has any suggestions as to where I can find this sort of outfit, I would be very grateful. The importance of the event is such that I cannot just give her some cash and send her off into town, she’d be wearing a NASA hoodie and new white trainers before I knew it and declare it suitable! This is what she sort of likes, but open to all suggestions.
