Basically that 😃

Size 20. Round stomach and big chest.
Footwear either trainers or DMs.

Statement jewellery, nice shoes. Any jeans will be fine.

Which MCR t is it OP? Three Cheers, Black Parade etc?
I use a band t to dress things down so you could do a swishy maxi skirt with trainers/boots and tuck only the very middle front into the waistband, and the rest stays loose.
Or go full-on 2000s with a long sleeve t underneath, and jeans.

I know this is an old thread but thought I would report back. Took my daughter to see Florence and the machine on Sunday night. Wore my ankle grazer jeans dm boots a band tee and a casual blazer. Daughter (22) looked at me and said I looked current which I am absolutely taking as a compliment 🤣🤣

wearing similar tomorrow when I go to see the Deftones although I’ll probably wear a hoodie instead that I can tie around my waist as we are standing.

Cut off the neck and roll up the sleeves

Fucked if I’m cutting up something that’s cost me £50 🤣🤣

Cut the sleeves to remove the fabric in the armpits. Cut diagonally from armpit to bottom hem of the outer sleeve. I might cut the back off as well.

If it's baggy you should be able to tie a knot in the broom bit but it does stretch the fabric. Some kind of mini skirt and leather jacket.

I have no style with my T-shirts. I just wear them with my jeans zero styling :)))) I’m sure I look dreadful but who cares I’m over 50 and on those days when I wear that that’s me being me. I don’t tuck in T-shirt or tie it as I that would highlight my chest or tummy even more.

Tbf mine range from £10 up. Still wouldn’t cut the cheap ones up cos I’m hoping they’ll be worth something when these up and coming bands hit the big time 🤣🤣

I love band tees! Last year I wore my black Arcade fire one at a festival with an animal print midi skirt and black dm’s. Or trainers/ gazelles would work either.
A bit of fake tan always makes me feel better too.

Sorry for abandoning you all 😆

I've bought some black leggings from Amazon and they're a game changer! They flatten my bumps and lumps and have given me so much confidence 😊

I've paired my band tees with them and a pair of DM mules. When going out, I wear a denim jacket 😊

This is the look I was hoping for. I bought a satin pink skirt but when I tucked my tee in, I looked awful 😂

This lady in Instagram has some good band tee looks:

Thankyou. I shall have a look 😊

I love the baggy tee, patterned trousers look but last time I attempted that, my Grandma asked me why I was wearing my PJs out in public 😆
