What to wear !!!
I'm so nervous.
We're meeting in a pub for a coffee in late afternoon ,at the weekend.
I'm 5'7', size 14... two stone overweight.
I really am shitless and don't know what to wear . And I'm 50.
Please advise .
Confidence is low after a recent breakup.
Thanks !

You'll be fine. Wear something you feel comfortable/confident in. I was dating at the same age much heavier than you It was all fine! Maybe not the time to wear uncomfortable shoes.

What do you generally like to wear? Maybe an elevated version of that?
Just try not to wear anything that makes you feel self conscious or it could distract you etc

I'm
Seriously thinking of simple black cashmere v neck jumper, black slim trousers, boots and a camel coat type throw over . Maybe jazz things up with a colourful scarf or something but I always feel good in black

That sounds perfect 🥰
I don't wear scarves much anymore so I'd be tempted to add a lovely gold necklace but if you enjoy scarves go for it.

It's a classic elegant casual 1st date outfit

It sounds a bit worky. Maybe replace the black trousers with jeans, or wide legged trousers and trainers?
