Have you been to a london theatre - ..what do you wear!???
Hi!!
Im heading to London in a month or so for my birthday and im going to London theatre (haymarket , i think). Ive been to London quite a few times and love it, and im always astonished by the london fashion. I live in a a small ish town in the south west and shops are limited. Im going with a friend of mine who is very style concious and has lived in london for some time. I have managed to pick up a halter neck maxi in black, however im not sure if this is appropriate. to formal, too casual?! It has a large empire line belt and is floor length. I was going to team it with a silk cardi and vintage black/gold heels. I still see going to the theatre as a big thing where you should dress up and make an effort, however ive been told its not like that anymore.
Seeing as its my birthday, I wanted to make a particular effort, however i dont want to look out of place.
Any ideas? Am I on the right track?
Thanks!

Sounds a little over the top soph - but also sounds wonderful. You wear exactly what you want - if you want to dress up, then do so.
Theatregoers in general these days are more casually dressed, particularly on the weekdays, but you still get some who dress up - and why not? There are no rules, well not as far as I'm concermed, but I'm probably a lot older than you and long ago stopped worrying about what other people were wearing, and now just wear what I feel like.
It's your birthday, so dress how you want to. I would do too if it happened to.... me!

I would echo the same sentiments as others. Anything goes, you can go in torn jeans or dress up in satin and tiara's. No-one cares any more, especially in London.
Personally if I were younger I would have worn jeans and a man's dinner jacket and some great high heals.
Have fun. Dress up and enjoy yourself. Your chance to be adventurous and make a statement.
