for out out in a northern city tomorrow night. Food, drinks and inevitable dancing in gay bars.

Was originally thinking little black dress + heels but have decided I want to be more comfortable.

Will I do?

Love it all except the shoes- prefer stylish sneakers that are comfortable.

Very Margot Tenenbaum!
I love all of it. Especially the shoes and coat.

It is very Margot.

You just need a pack of fags, some big sunnies and an unhealthy relationship with your tennis playing brother to finish the look...

As my nan would say....you'll look like a right Bobby dazzler!

Coat is the only thing I'm not wild about. Also wearing anything warm on a night out in a northern city....err....

The dream (apart from the brother obvs).

Sneakers would fuck that up.

It needeth gold platforms.

Why are heels so derided? Sometimes they make an outfit just right. We don't have to handmaid's tale it all the time.

It's ok to glam it up occasionally.

AND MEN WEAR HEELS TOO.

(See the late and sadly lamented Prince and Bowie for 'fucking stylish men in heels').

Have you seen The Holdovers @Sunshineo?

Not Wes Anderson, but a classic Christmas film that feels very much in the same vein.

(I say classic, it's a couple of years old but feels classic).

I wouldn't wear the shoes - but then I am boring!

It looks fabulous, enjoy your evening out (and ignore the naysayers on here).

cuberoot · 19/12/2025 06:11

I wouldn't personally wear the shoes just because I hate my toes, but love the rest

I really like it OP.

xmasstress12 · 19/12/2025 06:24

It’s very 70s but I like it.

I had a similar top in the early 00s that I loved, I wore it with skinny jeans & my beloved mules.

Zuve · 19/12/2025 06:24

Yes love it. It looks cool and comfortable. A bit different

DriveMeCrazy1974 · 19/12/2025 06:30

I don't mind the top, but I'd probably go with a vintage popstar/rock band t-shirt instead. Love the jeans (wish I had the figure to wear them!!).

Agree with this, I'm not a fan of butterflies on stuff though. The shoes are amazing, easy to see where Esska got their inspiration. Also love the coat.

Not in a million years would my chunky thighs go into those jeans but they are perfect for the shoes and coat.

Mysonwontwash · 19/12/2025 06:53

Love it!

RedAndGreenShouldAlwaysBeSeen · 19/12/2025 06:54

Top, shoes and coat are all utterly glorious!

Personally not a fan of the jeans but they do "work" in the outfit.

landlordhell · 19/12/2025 06:55

Love it!

Silverbirchleaf · 19/12/2025 06:57

Love it all. Love the top.

dollyblue01 · 19/12/2025 07:00

You’ll look fabulous when all
put together, enjoy 😊

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 19/12/2025 07:00

I like everything except the shoes. I’d want heeled boots in December.

Soontobe60 · 19/12/2025 07:04

The outfit’s ok - although as a teen in the 70s I probably wore all the items at some stage. Shame about the ‘dancing in the gay bars’ bit though - unless you are actually gay! Otherwise it smacks of ‘let’s all go and gawp at the gays down Canal Street for lols’ mentality.

Mmmkaay · 19/12/2025 07:05

It's fab, where are the shoes from (originally?) I used to have some just like that. Also, people saying they hate the jeans - can I ask why? I think they're damn sexy!

Kind of agree with that.

Gays aren't for gawping!

I love it all, especially the shoes.
