I went around twice and did not hurt anything (except shins sore). After some googling, wore actually long navy puffer, black spanx slim pants (OMG I am in love), black turtleneck, shimmery silver fleece from Northface and a navy knit cap. There was a wide range of clothes and was a nice atmosphere. Thank you so much for your help!! Glad I got over my fear and went. Happy holidays to all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ice-skating-party--need-advice#post-2083679 Tue, 10 Dec 2019 14:49:56 +0000 Anonymous 2083679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes to crash pants, short puffer, and furry socks! And hot cocoa...big yes to that </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ice-skating-party--need-advice#post-2083677 Tue, 10 Dec 2019 14:46:18 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2083677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mita—you’ll remember!

I’ll go there with my head held up high and crash pants on my bottom . I’m actually super intimidated to skate after so many decades but am trying to assume the positive attitude I would lecture my teen daughters to have, lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ice-skating-party--need-advice#post-2083662 Tue, 10 Dec 2019 12:20:10 +0000 nemosmom 2083662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute hat and turtleneck sound perfect. I like Carla's idea of the crash pants and thick, warm socks are a definite must-have. Have a fabulous time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ice-skating-party--need-advice#post-2083661 Tue, 10 Dec 2019 12:18:59 +0000 Helena 2083661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These thingamajigs: <a href="https://www.walmart.com/c/kp/hot-hands" rel="nofollow">https://www.walmart.com/c/kp/hot-hands</a></p> <p>:D </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ice-skating-party--need-advice#post-2083660 Tue, 10 Dec 2019 12:17:27 +0000 Helena 2083660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you've got it! If you're outside, consider bringing a few of those heat packs you can pop in your mitts or skates ... I forget what they're called, but you shake them and they emit heat ... A lifesaver for long days outside in the cold (Canadians, help me - what are these called???) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ice-skating-party--need-advice#post-2083652 Tue, 10 Dec 2019 10:46:45 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2083652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How fun! Parties with activities are great. </p> <p>You have ski stuff, so I’d wear that, including whatever wicking base layer works best. I especially agree with you on the cute hat. Ski goggles and the speed/distance of skiing means pix aren’t usually close-ups. At a skating party, I expect there will be shots of people enjoying the hot chocolate or whatever, so pay attention to what you wear around your face.</p> <p>Have a good time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ice-skating-party--need-advice#post-2083650 Tue, 10 Dec 2019 10:27:13 +0000 Carla 2083650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the idea of these crash pants! (Pic below) stretchy pants, a big sweater, puffer vest, and beanie or Pom Pom hat. Wool socks, for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ice-skating-party--need-advice#post-2083639 Tue, 10 Dec 2019 06:09:08 +0000 rachylou 2083639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh. This makes me nostalgic! My mum had her ladies night on a Thursdays and my dad would take us skating. Warmly cushy socks are a must. Gloves are nice, esp if you fall(!) Sturdy pants too in that vein. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ice-skating-party--need-advice#post-2083633 Tue, 10 Dec 2019 04:18:08 +0000 Gigi 2083633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you're looking to buy something, White House Black Market has some very cute short puffer jackets with faux fur trim that would be perfect! They're having a sale today--a lot of stuff is 40% off.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ice-skating-party--need-advice#post-2083621 Tue, 10 Dec 2019 03:06:52 +0000 Suz 2083621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your idea sounds great. As greycat says, indoor/ vs. outdoor is relevant here. Definitely make sure you have good socks! And enjoy!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ice-skating-party--need-advice#post-2083603 Tue, 10 Dec 2019 01:19:30 +0000 greycat6 2083603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you a good skater?&nbsp; If not, wear something that will withstand the inevitable falling down on the ice.&nbsp; ;)</p> <p>Is it indoor or outdoor rink?&nbsp; I'm in the PNW too so am familiar with the weather.&nbsp; If the rink is outside temps are usually in the 40's during the day, cooler at night.&nbsp; Indoor rinks may be colder.&nbsp; Sporty layers, gloves and hat should be fine.&nbsp; Skating is hard work so your core temp can go up and remove layers as needed.&nbsp; If you are renting skates, take thick comfortable socks.</p> <p>Have fun!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ice-skating-party--need-advice#post-2083601 Tue, 10 Dec 2019 01:10:27 +0000 Mita 2083601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What to wear for an ice skating party? Hi YLFers. I am stumped and would love your advice. Am invited to a daytime ice skating party- I am in my 50s and don’t have the body of my 20-something self :). Thinking should be more sporty than dressy as this is the PNW. Cute hat, turtleneck, shell like I’d wear for skiiing, skinny black pants? Looking forward to any tips, thank you! </p>
