What to wear at a gay club

A girl&#;s modern guide to homosexual bar etiquette

By Galore Guest

There comes a time in every girl’s life when the glamour of going out begins to wear a little thin. You come to realize that clubs are not only sweaty and overpriced but that, no matter where you go, some random guy will follow you around all night.  It’s a rigid life when all you long to do is dress up and dance all night but some clingy boy monopolizes your attention.

If only there was another way… Oh wait, there is! The gay bar. Still sweaty, still overpriced, but you’re gonna get a heck of a lot less male attention. (And bonus points if you love your music with a side of noughties nostalgia)

For people who don’t often find themselves in queer spaces, heading to a gay bar might make them feel a bit out of their comfort zone. It’s worth getting a few tips in advance so you can construct the most of the trial and enjoy dancing uninhibited by any feelings of self-consciousness.

As a queer gal myself, I’ve been to my fair share of LGBTQI+ venues and have a bunch of advice I’m only too eager to share.

I'm 27, decent body, can wear fitted clothing and look fine, but can't earn away with skintight (no six pack, but no gut either)
My budget is about $ I already possess the shoes but need a shirt and some pleasant jeans I already have some decent t shirts, so would I be better served by splurging on a hot pair of jeans?

I desire to look somewhat classy, so no completely trashy clothes :)

I was thinking express or banana republic, but there is a Nordstrom's here too but I'm not really experienced with that place.

Last week the zoo, this week, the gay club…not much convert then. What you wear to the club again depends on a variety of factors. Are you looking for some fresh meat? Are you going with your new beau? Are you going to dance like this?

Regardless of any of this, one thing is certain, you want to be a) confident yet still be b) cozy. It is all about the bow tie for me. I got my first bow tie (other than trying on vintage ones I found in my parents&#; room) in I only wore it a couple of times. At this stage I thought wearing a duck tie too often might seem strange to people. Now I don’t concern and would happily wear a bow tie every week. Wear it with a patterned shirt. I love these ones from River Island’s new Spring season:

(Sorry about the rubbish photo. It&#;s a pic of my screen :s). Or a plain ebony or white shirt. In fact, a black, short-sleeved shirt is the next item on my radar. Any suggestions of where I might find one? If it was daytime I’d put a sweater on top and then a jacket but for the club this combo will suffice. A gentle pair of plain jet
