I'm meeting friends I haven't seen in years.
Going for food and cocktails
I know it's boring and black and safe but I just don't go out out a lot
I don't like dresses and it's forecast rain this weekend anyway.
Does this look okay?
Or do I need to ditch the jeans and look for some trousers ?(didn't really want to spend any money on clothes )so did a wardrobe raid

Looks great. Personally I would add a belt and ideally a matching bag.

WishIWasYourSexyBacon · 04/06/2024 17:51

I think the jeans look too faded to look smart enough to go with the jet black top.

LennyBalls · 04/06/2024 17:52

Looks fab. But I second belt and bag x

OldTinHat · 04/06/2024 17:52

The jeans look rather washed out. It's more obvious with a black top.

What other options do you have?

furryblanky · 04/06/2024 17:53

I think it looks great. I don't think it needs a belt, just a bag that is not black to compliment it.

I agree with this, but you've time to dye them. Washed out black jeans look new after some Dylon.

I have a black pair of jeans
These are meant to be washed black
Only thing is the black jeans are skinny rather than slim mom

🤔

Even though the forecast is for rain, it’s June, you’re presumably going somewhere worth making an effort for, and it would be nice for your friends to see you in something less wintery and more cheerful.

You don’t look bad, at all - just dressed for a day of insignificant errands.

Could do better … (If you want to, obvs.)

Purplecatshopaholic · 04/06/2024 18:01

Love this. Add a coloured bag, red lippie and great jewellery and you are good to go.

TheOriginalFrench · 04/06/2024 18:06

The top would be lovely with maybe a flouncy skirt and calf or knee high boots.

mynameiscalypso · 04/06/2024 18:08

I love it. Included the faded jeans. You look 👌🏻

millennialprobs · 04/06/2024 18:09

Defo add a belt to split up the blacks as they're slightly different shades x

BranchGold · 04/06/2024 18:09

You’ve a great figure so I’m sure you’ll look nice regardless.

the jeans in the picture look like skinny jeans to me.

Im guessing you’re 32/36?

MaryFuckingFerguson · 04/06/2024 18:10

You look nice. The skinny jeans look rather dated but nice all the same.

Yes it's a bit two tone black. I think a different coloured top or jeans would be better. But otherwise it's a nice outfit and you look good in it.

angieputthekettleokay · 04/06/2024 18:12

@BranchGold I'm 39 so close ha ha
They are the Stradivarius slim mom
I can't quite move away from the slim leg

Looks fabulous

Enjoy

Fintoo · 05/06/2024 03:55

I’d put a belt on, I’m not a bag person so can’t comment on whether a matching/not matching one is a good thing. I really like the shoes.

Fridgetapas · 05/06/2024 04:04

You’ve got a great figure :) the look is very dated if you care about looking fashionable - the skinny jeans and the chunky heavy looking heels.

I’d keep the top but pair with some wide leg trousers/jeans and a thin black belt and either trainers/low pointy sling back shoes/loafers

If you don’t care about fashion trends you look amazing though.

Lurkingandlearning · 05/06/2024 05:50

I also think the top makes the jeans being faded more obvious.

You can buy DyLon fabric dye for washing machines for £7. I found it really easy to use and my jeans looked almost as good as new.

FormerlySpeckledyHen · 05/06/2024 06:27

Looks great, provided black suits you.

Doingmybest12 · 05/06/2024 07:04

Its jeans and a top and you've got a great figure. Understated and casual if that's what you are going for.

WhereAreWeNow · 05/06/2024 07:43

Looks nice. I like those jeans. Personally I'd go for a different silhouette/colour on top. Maybe a looser top tucked in? But that's just me.

NashvilleQueen · 05/06/2024 07:48

I love the shoes and like the jeans. The top is nice as an item and looks great on you but because it's more 'dressy' and a different shade of black I am not sure it goes with the rest as an outfit. Wondering whether a contrast colour top would be better.

ScrapeMyArse · 05/06/2024 09:36

I love the jeans, they fit you perfectly. And I think the overall look is cool - kind of dramatic in a completely casual way.
