Bottomless brunch outfit ideas - help!!!

Dancingqueenwannabe · 04/03/2023 18:22

I'm in my 40s and going out for a bottomless brunch in a few weeks and don't know what to wear!!!!
I'm size 14 and very aware I have a belly, bum and saggy baby boobs (which can be lifted up with a good bra... like a 16 year old!). The friends I am out with are thinner and younger so I feel rubbish!
Please help a frumpy mum look glam. 🙏

At the moment I'm liking jumpsuits for the coverage and skimmingness, prob though is the getting them off when go to the loo! Which depending on how bottomless your brunch and bladder strength is, is variant on the level of issue it creates! 😆

Something like this?

Im mid 30's and tbh id probably wear some jeans, heels, nice top and a blazer

I got both of these from H & M, very pretty colours and very drapey, so great for hiding any problem areas! Both under £20 and will go with what you already have in your wardrobe.
I wear with either blue or black jeans and a bright colour shoe. The black floral one also looks great with wide leg trousers and my leather leggings, the blue is lovely with navy wide legs and trainers and will look good with white jeans as the weather gets better.

Unsure of your budget/style/taste but I would start with a good base

silky geek black vest this comes up room so won't be clingy. You can dress up with jewellery/accessories. Should say silky feel black vest.

I have last year's version of this jacket which gets lots of compliment:

leopard jacket

And pair with

faux leather leggings.

or this in black and wear a white vest

faux leather skirt in black

Hope you have fun whatever you wear.

Thank you so much everyone for your ideas, I love them all (credit card at the ready!!).

@MichelleScarn the jumpsuit looks amazing but brunch is very bottomless and bladder is not the best! 😖Will keep it in mind for other occasions (I plan on catching up with my friends this year, so more nights out!!)

@addictedtotheflats thats my usual go to outfit but heard it wasn't acceptable anymore!!! love that it is! 😃

@Rina66 these are ordered and on their way!!! gorgeous shirts 😃

@Lykia would you get your usual size or up a size with the shirt? I love all of these, sadly the skirt is sold out but i do have a shorter leather look skirt which could work. what shows would you wear? I'm not the best in heels! Love that all these are on sale too!!! thanks

Just been to my first bottomless brunch yesterday. I am in my 50’s. I wore a nice top (mock wrap style) from Fatface, jeans, a blazer and some nice flats/trainer type shoes.

Outfits, age groups were all very mixed.

Anything goes.

A lot of the younger

@Dancingqueenwannabe I think the vests are roomy so would order your usual size. Or if you can be bothered with the hassle of returning by one a size smaller as well.

Re: shoes I think you could get away with trainers, although check with the venue first, or flats. However, it depends on how glam you want to be and if wearing heels makes you feel a bit more dressy then go for it.
