You’re going out tonight! What are you wearing?

Am feeling very uninspired by my wardrobe now we are coming into autumn. Had ‘going out’ outfits sorted for summer but they suddenly feel all wrong, and it feels too early to get my winter dresses out. Tell/show me what you would wear if you were going out tonight for drinks and maybe some dancing! Also shoes? Boots? All ideas and inspiration welcome 😁

I’m wearing blue jeans, black t-shirt. Jazzy trainers.
Chunky necklace. A bit Susie Greene, but it works!

TeaAndCakeMakeThingsBetter · 06/09/2025 19:41

Sounds nice! With a jacket? Temperatures are dropping now after the sun goes down. Is it too early for tights?

PollyIndia · 06/09/2025 19:42

Your whole outfit sounds amazing!

Well i‘m not, I’m laying under my electric blanket in a vest and joggers waiting for a pizza delivery with dd!!

BUT in your scenario I’d be putting on a navy dress, tights and some brown boots, long coat - it’s been sunny and warm today but it’s turned chilly this evening. And I hate being cold so will not suffer 😂

TeaAndCakeMakeThingsBetter · 06/09/2025 19:46

It does sound incredible! I can’t pull off that type of style sadly, am too boring 😂. Love seeing others in it though. In my head I could wear all sorts of flamboyant fabulous bright colours, but I always end up wearing the same black shirt dress. It’s nice but uninspiring! Need to get out of my comfort zone.

Me too, am lying on my bed debating doing another load of washing 🥱 Navy dress sounds nice - long or short? I do like navy and it’s a better colour for me than black. And what kind of style?

I’m going out. Only to pub with mates.

I’m wearing a utility jacket from Hush over a Uniqlo tube dress with trainers.

TeaAndCakeMakeThingsBetter · 06/09/2025 20:09

Oh pub sounds fun and your outfit sounds perfect! I like a utility jacket but never thought to try one over a dress. Do like a dress but tend to go for minis as I’m short, but it’s too cold for bare legs and too early for tights 😂

Well I have no idea
if it looked any good! But it’s quite a swishy sheer skirt so was fun to wear!
OP could you wear your short
Dresses with bare legs and cowboy boots or biker boots? It’s quite mild tonight where I am in London.

TeaAndCakeMakeThingsBetter · 06/09/2025 20:23

I guess I could - but really my summer ones are TOO summery (light colours, floaty materials) and my winter ones are velvet, sparkles or just too heavy. I struggle with this time of year for going out clothes although love jeans and light jumpers/cardis or t-shirt and suede jacket for day time. Just don’t feel like I’ve made an effort for the evening if I wear that though! I’d wear sparkles all year round if I didn’t feel like a twat in any month but December 😂 I also absolutely loved my previous ‘uniform’ of coated skinny jeans and a nice top, but would feel dated now (plus have expanded somewhat over the past year and they are TOO skinny for me to get into 😂)

Twas out last night and wore a midi length satin skirt with a short sleeved cashmere jumper (it was a cheap one and annoyingly itchy).

Comefromaway · 06/09/2025 20:34

I’d either be wearing one of my All Saints dresses with ankle boots or black Levis with either my All Saints top or black Loewe t shirt, my Loewe belt & my leather jacket. Carrying my small black Bottega intrecciato crossbody bag.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 06/09/2025 20:38

I’ve just woken up from a two hour nap and will not be going anywhere, but if I was I’d wear a black satin skirt, trainers, a crocheted top and leather jacket.

This time of year is so in-between isnt it? Two weeks ago was in the pub in shorts and tee and crocs ( tea time not night ) this week I had jeans and tee with a rain jacket

Ive just bought a lovely skater dress ( Im tiny, they suit my shape ) and am dying to wear it with my tights and clumpy loafers or boots ( will be Prague at the end of the month me thinks )

Im also looking at my corduroy minis and coloured tights and thin knit jumpers - a whole host of colours from mustard yellow, burgundy and rich scarlets and olive greens and chunky cardies

Not the height of fashion but Im in my 60's and tiny with great legs - suits me, Im comfortable and happy in my autumn colours , just too ruddy warm until October so its jean season for me

BCBird · 06/09/2025 20:51

I'd be panicking as I genuinely have nothing to wear. Got dresses for work and leggings and tops for casual- that's it😪

dudsville · 06/09/2025 20:56

Still far to warm where I am, so I would still be in my linen dresses with sandals, but I do have a few suitable jackets and I would take one just in case.

That’s 2 weeks today for me. It’s my 50th birthday party in Ibiza and I’m going totally ott!

violetcuriosity · 06/09/2025 21:01

Dark jeans/tailored wide leg trousers and a fitted waistcoat style top, I know they’re probably reaching the end of their shelf life but I’m clinging on!
