Silver 'theme' night

[EnglishGirlApproximately]

Conference season is upon us in my industry and every single event has a different theme for gala night! I have one in two weeks time that I've just found out is silver themed - so I need your help!

I'm 50, 5'4 size 18 - not normally a silver wearer! Like a nice wrap dress or jumpsuit, pleated skirts suit me.

Really don't want to spend much as I'll probably never wear it again, but equally prefer not to buy shein type brands. Ideally high street prices. For anyone else id suggest just going with silver jewellery but I can't wear jewellery as I have contact urticaria, so that's a no go.

Help!

I saw this https://www.fatface.com/women/clothing/skirts/metallic-midi-skirt/981676.html?dwvar9816766_color=LGTSILVER
On Instagram and it is kind of pleated.

Where black

Silver jewellery, tiara, bag

God forbid maybe shoes?

*wear!!

Silver jacket over black dress

There are a couple on Next

I've got this shirt from last year, it looks so much better in real life and definitely not with the matching trousers!
I wear it over black leather leggings or tuxedo cigarette pants - I've got a smaller more shape version from Mint Velvet that looks good with wide leg trousers or leather skirt. They both have a stretch to them and move beautifully when on.

these with a blazer could look nice.

might not be quite the thing, but I just bought this for £30 - pic doesn’t do it justice, it looks really nice on with some black boots!

Wow, I'm not brave enough to wear these but go M & S for selling them, amazing!
Love the M & S navy sequin trousers too @icelollycraving, they would look lovely on Christmas Day with a navy V neck cashmere jumper and flats, so thank you.

I tried the M&S sequin trousers on, but they looked awful on me and felt really itchy.

@Rina66 I have the leggings in lots of colours from M&S (previous seasons) and I’m a size 22. I have navy/black/khaki/pewter/gold and they are a go to in winter for me. I have ok legs with a giant tummy so with the right top can look really nice. I am also a magpie so anything shiny or sparkly, I’m in!
I’ve just ordered from sainsburys the black sequin blazer and the champagne sequin trousers. I am also an introvert so don’t really go out, and so wear sparkles often for just normal stuff. Bit of a complex woman 🤣
Life is too short to not wear you want!

Well I think that sounds wonderful @icelollycraving, I love anything sparkley too, that's what I like about fashion now, really anything goes, as it should be.

I noticed a few of the reviews sadly said this, the waistband apparently.

This is on Vinted ? £5

I've got a sequin mini skirt from a couple of years ago and the waistband is really itchy on those too. I have to either wear a vest tucked in or pull my tights up really high!

I do the same with my tights @RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie, aren't we classy 😂

This looks nice, you could wear with black trousers.

😂

Get thee to Vinted. Perfect for this kind of wear it once malarkey

What a shame, I'm secretly coveting them.

There's a fab looking silver pleated skirt in hush.

Lots of great ideas here! I've ordered the sequin blazer so fingers crossed I like it! The leggings and shorts dress would look fab on someone else but definitely not on my podgy body!
