A while back, probably when I was still in sixth form there was a bit of a trend among my peers for skipping a night out clubbing and heading to one of Bristol’s casinos instead. I can’t say I ever took them up on the offer. Not that I’m against a bit of responsible gambling once in a while but more (and this sounds very shallow) that I didn’t know what to wear- I wasn’t a stylish teenager, in fact I’d hardly declare myself stylish now and deciphering the dress code sent my anxiety through the roof. I was thinking back to this the other day and decided to pop together a little post that would have been VERY helpful for my younger self.
(all from a selection at ASOS)
A lot of casinos will have a dress code in place ranging from smart casual to a more black tie type deal. You should be able to find this out on the casinos website beforehand so there is no chance of being turned away at the door. Personally I’d prefer to go for a more dressy approach just because I can and because when I was younger I just wouldn’t have had the confidence for this. You don’t need to spend a fortune to look like you own a fortune- shops like New Look, ASOS and H&M all have some chic and simple dresses or smart trouser suits that won’t break the bank and can easily be incorporated in to you every day working wardrobe too so you aren’t splashing out for just a one off night.
Of course if the effort is all too much, and now I’m older and lazier (not to mention more boring) I’d probably rather stick to an online casino where I can have a flutter from the comfort of my sofa wrapped up in my dressing gown….you know, I might even invite some friends round and throw my own casino night, dress code not required!
