We have a school gala tonight. I was expecting it to be around 70 but there’s a cold front and it is going to be in the mid 50s.
The gala is outside and they have some of those y’all heaters.
How do you do cocktail attire when it’s cold? This is not something I ever need to think about
ETA I just noticed my phone auto corrects tall to y’all 😂

What were you originally going to wear? Can you pair it with a nice coat and possibly some black (or other neutral colored) leggings?

Can you throw on a blazer or scarf/ wrap type thing over whatever you were originally going to wear?

What about a cute leather moto jacket with a feminine top perhaps ruffles and either some leggings and booties/heels or dark denim jeans with booties/heels

Can you post picture your options? What we would wear is kinda pointless since our closets aren’t the same. I have a lot of options - was just looking for ideas of what kind of layers are cocktail attire appropriate I’ll try and find pics of some options to help, though

This is what I planned on wearing. It’s navy/gold. I wasn’t planning on wearing anything over it

With that I would do either a shawl or something similar and since it’s long I would totally throw leggings underneath for extra warmth.

I went to an outdoor reception in this kind of weather in the fall. I wore a cocktail dress with black tights and had a shawl. It was doable, but I was still huddled underneath the heaters for most of it. I would have been happier with a jacket or blazer or a heavier wrap.

I think a fancy jacket would look good with that and I feel you should be fine with the temp. Plus there’s heaters and if there’s booze that’ll warm you up!

Hmmm I think I’m going to pick my most appropriate outer layer and then figure out something that can go under it.

I have a black jumpsuit that would be perfect if this wasn’t for the school.
It’s way too much boob for hanging out with his teachers

If you have a black leather jacket, I'd throw that on and stay warm with drinks!

I’ve seen women do faux fur half jackets that are cute. Or a shawl is the norm here. With those temps and heaters, I probably wouldn’t wear anything over it personally, but Michigan.

You don't need leather or fur with outdoor heaters at 55 degrees.

You don't need leather or fur with outdoor heaters at 55 degrees. This is freezing winter weather for me. I don’t own fur, but leather would be a good option.

I would probably go for a pashmina/wrap type of thing unless you have an outer layer that works well. But 55 isn’t terrible to me and is mild enough that the outfit would still be my priority. I know that’s not everyone though.

I live in the Northeast and would still need another layer if I was going to be out with 55 degrees for a long time. Those outdoor heaters are hit or miss.

This sounds old lady but a pair of nude nylons would help keep your legs warm without changing the overall look. And I’d definitely do a leather jacket over top
