What do 30-somethings wear to 'club it' these days?

Going to a hen party in July and starting to think about what I should wear for the Sat night clubbing bit!

I was a clubber 'in my youth' but it's years since I hit the dancefloor anywhere other than a wedding and I'm not sure what I should be wearing!

Want something flattering and 'clubby' so I don't stand out like a married mother but something 'classy' as well - don't want to look like a tart!

Links to pics would be good!

gerrawaywivyou - you may get some ideas on here

Gobbledigook · 11/06/2005 23:17

Are jeans really allowed in a club? Don't clubs still have that 'no jeans, no trainers' thing?

Don't know where jampots -w ill let you know if I find out!

No I think they're ok now.

Especially since denim mini skirts came back in.

Gobbledigook · 11/06/2005 23:20

Well that's one thing I won't be wearing!!

jeans are allowed on fridays but not saturdays but check it out first

jampots · 11/06/2005 23:22

A word of advice GDG - avoid Libertys and The Tower like the plague!!!!

gaelsgirl · 12/06/2005 12:20

hipster jeans, wedge heels, strappy top?

gaelsgirl · 12/06/2005 12:23

last time i went to a club (end of may) I wore a charcoal grey spaghetti strap t shirt, long straight beaded and crocheted tube skirt and flip flops.

Most girls we saw looked like they were looking for business though, micro skirts, tits spilling out of teeny tops and 4 inch heels. Made me feel sad actually, they all looked so desperate.

Smurfgirl · 12/06/2005 13:00

In summer everyone wears flip flops.

Last time I went clubbing (last week) I wore a brown gypsy skirt, white v-neck tank, and brown leather flip flops. V.comfy.

Wedges and denim minis are cool. Or jeans with a fab top and beads.

Nbg · 12/06/2005 13:05

Agree GG.

I went out a couple of weeks back and they only way I could describe it was like a Meat Market.

Very sad and desperate.

Gobbledigook · 12/06/2005 13:30

Glad I asked now! Sounds like it's more casual than I remember so will maybe wear jeans and get a nice sparkly top!

A knowing smile?

Willow2 · 12/06/2005 14:07

An air of desperation?

TinyGang · 12/06/2005 14:20

Did someone suggest something sparkly?

gaelsgirl · 12/06/2005 17:12

never put minis and high heels together imo

Gobbledigook · 12/06/2005 23:08

Never with my knees

I'm sure they're very nice with all the swimming you do.... (shouldn't you be in bed young lady?)

Gobbledigook · 12/06/2005 23:11

Legs are OK but my knees just look rubbish! Yep, just a quick look on here and I'm off!

JoolsToo · 12/06/2005 23:12

moondog · 12/06/2005 23:12
