How do you dress on a night out

Warm weather: long floaty skirt/pants kinda jobs.

Otherwise, short skirts, tights, chiffon tops with v-necks/scoop-necks.
I'm slim below the waist so that gets the slutty treatment; bigger above the hips so that gets more conservative treatment (although the girls don't get covered up or anything, just not spilling out).

Just eye make-up and zero fake tan - I'm pale as can be, and that's that. Heels make the auld pins look good, but just a bit of a heel is enough for me. Earrings and bracelets and rings, not usually arsed with neck jewelry. Hair is long - down or half pinned up/half down.

I was at an underworld gig a couple of years ago. During da big freeeeeze. I went in a dress with tights and flat winter boots. It was kinda icey outside but thawing. Heading into the city after and the temp was dropping. Came out of a club at 4am to snow absolutely bucketing down. It was gorgeous! Taxis were impossible to get nearby so off I toddled in my boots and warm clothes and eventually got a cab a couple of kms away.

The amount of girls freezing outside when I left was ridiculous. I'll never forget one girl with hot pants and a vest and strappy stilleto sandals. On the phone, teeth chattering and nearly crying. She couldn't walk anywhere in case she broke her neck and she couldn't get a taxi.

I don't get that now, that's just silly.

It's fecking idiotic. I have seen girls wearing a barely-there sleeveless tiny dress and crazily high heels with no jacket in bitterly cold weather. I don't feel the cold as easily as a lot of Irish women but these have been nights when I've been wrapped up well.
You'll always get people being contrarian in relation to this topic, saying they can wear what they want and the auld chestnut of "You're jealous" bla bla.
They can indeed wear hardly any clothing and shoes that stunt circulation on a freezing night in January, and others can comment on how ****ing stupid it is to be that much of a slave to fashion. I'd bet lots of them are the same women who go on about it being FREEZING when it's a bit dull and breezy and it's June.
But wearing such skimpy attire in warmer weather - go for it; if you've got it, flaunt it. The agonising shoes I'll never understand though. Why would a woman want to look really towering anyway?

I wear a uniform 5 days a week, 9 hours a day

My downtime attire consists of jeans, t-shirt, leather motorbike jacket & steel toe boots...always :eek:

Ya can't polish a turd

Boot cut jeans, Caterpillars and I usually wear an ironic T shirt of some sort or my Féilte '94 T shirt. You don't really need anything fancier for the Roisin Dubh or Sally Longs.

All through Freshers week I see 'street walker' style was in.

Looks fcuking ridiculous, esp when half of them can't even walk in heels.

And if it's to make lads fancy them, I'd say most lads are just bemused by it.

I'd say it's less to do with what other people think of them, and more to do with them feeling good because they feel they look good...

Whether it's the most practical clothing to wear on a baltic night out probably doesn't factor into their decision making process!

Dressing in a way just because it makes the person feel good... nah, I don't buy it. How come they don't dress that way when they go to the supermarket so?

Some young women do dress up like they're on a night out just to tip down to Tesco or wherever. I'm often dropping off the young lad to school or collecting him and the school is across from one of the biggest teacher training colleges in Ireland, you'd swear some of the girls were just coming from the club straight into college! It can be almost intimidating if you get caught up in the crowd as they make their way to college in the morning as there's scores of 'em, and I feel a bit out of place

Sure, the fact it makes them feel good is part of it, but what others think is a big part also. And the two are intertwined. Flattery from someone will make a person feel good, so they'll keep doing what it is that got them the flattery.

I know what you're saying and all, but that can depend entirely on their perception of the person paying them what they think is a compliment - awful difference coming from someone they find attractive, and someone they find, well, not so attractive... more often it's coming from the latter than the former!

Shur most lads would take tights over fake tan anyday

Tights are unreeeeeal

Fake tan is mank! Does anyone actually find it attractive?

Tights are the antithesis of sexy. Urgh, urgh, urgh.

Wow, that's some amount of disgust they cause you.
