Saturday afternoon outfit

17 replies

It's Saturday afternoon at 3pm and you're going out into your nearest city for drinks with friends. What are you wearing?

Dressy? Any excuse to put on a dress or smart outfit.
Casual? It's only a Saturday afternoon, not evening.

For info, in my local (Northern) city there are people dressed up to the nines by 1pm although many people out shopping are also in the bars/restaurants.

I think I'd wear a dress with thick tights, boots and a leather jacket with an umbrella in my bag and thermals underneath the dress a scarf and possibly gloves , I'm in a northern town and it's cold and wet lol 😂

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 05/11/2023 19:42

Dress, tights, flat boots, leather jacket and big scarf if not too cold/wet.

I'd wear tapered jeans, probably black, boots, then either a round neck jumper or a high neck top with a round neck cardigan and dress things up with jewellery and make up.

I'm in London and don't wear dresses (two things not connected 😆).

Thanks all, still not sure which direction to go but either way I think a shopping trip is in order... 😁

Leather culottes. Flat suede, knee high boots. Cropped sheepskin jacket. Not sure what underneath - maybe a thin silk and wool sweater.

I only own one of these items so, realistically, I’d just have to wear what’s in my wardrobe.

I have exactly this situation next week. I plan to wear straight leg dark demin jeans, silver Superga pumps, a black structured puff sleeved t shirt with a low scoped back and tied at the top with a gros grain ribbon or a black silk mix blouse with tiny white stars.

if it is colder I may wear a knee length black sweat shirt dress with rainbow striped cuffs, thick colourful opaque tights (either red or purple) and bronze brogues (Nineties vibes)

Also in a northern town here too.

Britpopbaby · 05/11/2023 22:10

Northern here too. I would do wide leg jeans, nice blouse with a thin thermal underneath with a good coat and Converse.

@anon2022anon I want those trousers! 😍
Going to try and get to H&M this week...

leather tapered trousers, black chelae boots, cashmere striped jumper worn over a white shirt with some tuckage/dropping going on.

Last night. Northern City. Casual dress, thick tights, boots, leather jacket.

Jakadaal · 05/11/2023 23:08

Also northern city yesterday afternoon- black wide leg trousers, fine black merino jumper, black and leopard print trainers, leopard print belt and tan coloured biker style jacket.

@Ginmonkeyagain Love the sound of your T-shirt.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 06/11/2023 07:09

Last time I did this (casual place) I wore rolled up grey jeans, a black printed pussy bow blouse, black waistcoat and flat black boots.

Ginmonkeyagain · 06/11/2023 21:00

@RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie It is great - I got it from Finery - when their clothes were interesting.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 07/11/2023 17:58

I had a few similar ones years ago - I like an 'elevated' t-shirt, but it's harder than ever to find nice ones.
