2nd Date!! Coldplay ... what to wear?

rar210 · Marc Jacobs

Sounds pretty casual?? What's the temp. supposed to be? I'm assuming you'll be doing some walking so am I correct with no heels?

Congrats on the date going well - Good Luck!

Weather forecast: High of 79 and a 30 percent chance of thunderstorms.

I am so nervous because some of his friends will be there and I have to look good!

Def. not a skirt or heels if you have to walk and/or sit in the grass.

I would prob wear guachos or demin capris and cute cami or tshirt. You could wear something casual and plain and dress it up a little with jewelry..

I would wear flip-flops for the walking factor too.

I totally agree w/JoceyBaby on the outfit! And definitely wear some flip flops. You would be miserable sitting in grass in a skirt and heels.

By the way - I'm so jealous that your date looks like Stephen from LB!!!

i'd wear jeans for sure if you are going to be sitting on the grass--it would be really bad to get itchy hives on your legs if there's anything on that grass, like any pesticides.

jeez--"here comes debbie downer!"--sorry

do you know anything about the venue? this may sound counterintuitive but depending on the venue, a skirt (long) might actually work. i went to an outdoor concert on sunday and i wore a jersey material dress and i was so comfortable. i wasn't trying to be cute, but i knew that i was going to be outside and among a bunch of people and jeans would be too hot. so opted for something lightweight & flowy. i brought a beach towel to sit on, but ended up spending most of the time standing anyway. my friend wore jeans and was complaining about how hot she was.

I agree with Bumblebee. I think jeans would be more comfortable. Grass = itchy.

Also, I think maybe capris or gauchos would look too "outfit-y" maybe? Meeting his friends for ann event like a concert, you might want to give the impression of being very "low maintenance." And for guys, that usually means jeans. Just a thought!

Oh, and btw: way to go with "Stephen" !!

How about something like this? You want to be comfortable and cute but not look like you put any effort. I'm thinking a tank, jeans, flipflops, and maybe a wooded or beaded necklace.
