Would you wear shorts to Friday night drinks? and band?

I'm a jeans and nice(ish) top kind of girl, usually with trainers. Go on lots of casual nights out either friends, usually to see a band. Friday night usually means people will have made some effort, but to look nice casually, rather than dressed up iyswim.

I have a camisole top I love that I'd planned to wear to band night on Friday, but it's going to be warm, I think. Can I weather my short, but not extreme, denim shorts instead of jeans?

I'm liking getting my legs out this year, and they're long, slim and toned, but I'm 54 so it's all relative!

I don't what that thread says TBH, I don't think it's conclusive 😆

Haters gotta hate, she looked amazing because she knows what works for her. As much as I don't want to be a woman online discussing what another woman looks like, if you compare her to the general population she is a goddess!

I think it depends on the actual shorts, my denim shorts no but its a bit like jeans you can have smarter or more casual jeans. Are the shorts the same standard as jeans you would wear?

The point is that it’s a woman older than you wearing shorts to a music gig. Some comments think the outfit looks pyjama-like, but nobody say “Ew, shorts?!” So it answers your question.

Also you wouldn’t think twice if on holiday in a hot country would you?

Of course you can wear shorts. Not really much different to wearing a skirt? Denim skirt/denim shorts- same thing!
Enjoy your night!

Of course you can. It gets hot at gigs, especially small grass roots venues
