I like to dress comfortable when I go to movies. In summers it would be maxi dress or t-shirt with summer pants. I always take a light jacket with me, because sometimes in summers when its very hot outside they turn on cold air conditioner, and than it can get a bit cold.<br />In winter i wear pants with warm jumper or winter dress with leggings. Its always good to take a big scarf with me in winter in case I get called I just wrap it around me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-the-movies/page/2#post-1851558 Sun, 08 Oct 2017 01:15:13 +0000 DonnaF 1851558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now I'm thinking I should layer up and err on the side of warmth since I don't want to have to get up in the middle to use the ladies room because that's what happens when I get cold -- and it's such a long movie.</p> <p>Some friends just saw the film and said it was worth it. One saw the original and felt this was a worthy sequel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-the-movies/page/2#post-1851489 Sat, 07 Oct 2017 20:33:00 +0000 Kari 1851489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It depends so much on the theater, who I'm going with, and time of day. Anything from a smart casual outfit with jeans, a moto jacket, boots, scarf, casual top to items from my just-barely-a-step-above-athleisure capsule. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-the-movies/page/2#post-1851444 Sat, 07 Oct 2017 16:57:34 +0000 JAileen 1851444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw Star Wars: The Force Awakens in an Imax theater. It was too much for me. It felt like the all of the space ships were zooming right at me. I guess that's the point, though. What I wore: we were in Texas so I was dressed for warm weather, with cropped pants, tee, sneakers, and a denim jacket. The theater was packed so I wasn't cold. Right after that I bought this Star Wars sweatshirt </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-the-movies/page/2#post-1851350 Sat, 07 Oct 2017 04:32:12 +0000 rachylou 1851350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so excited now!!</p> <p>That's true about theatre wind! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-the-movies/page/2#post-1851338 Sat, 07 Oct 2017 03:05:35 +0000 Tina 1851338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just saw it today at 3 p.m. PDT! It's fantastic. Wear layers and a comfy waistband. I tend to see the temps go up and down -- people warm it up, the air blows on you, it cools down repeat. At least that's my experience in Seattle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-the-movies/page/2#post-1851320 Sat, 07 Oct 2017 01:39:25 +0000 binkle 1851320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DH and I do love going to the movies. I appreciate the full artistic effort of the production by seeing it on a big screen, with the right sound system. Clutching arms, holding hands, elbow nudges at the good bits, sharing a good laugh.</p> <p>It's fun to be absorbed in the experience of watching a good story unfold. I'm happy to bring "the willing suspension of disbelief" (i even liked John Carter of Mars ).</p> <p>I just wear whatever I normally wear on a weekend, not a big deal. We're sitting in the dark, so who cares. Ps, if you live in a chilly climate, don't wrap up too much in the theater, you'll be that much colder when you get outside again,and you won't have anything else to layer on. Learned this from personal experience from living on the East Coast. I'd guess the theater will be fairly crowded, so the body heat of everyone will warm the place up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-the-movies/page/2#post-1851312 Sat, 07 Oct 2017 01:29:38 +0000 rachylou 1851312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do it Lila!</p> <p>You're funny about the tv... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-the-movies/page/2#post-1851311 Sat, 07 Oct 2017 01:27:43 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1851311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't usually go to the movies. I don't usually go on dates either. But I really want to go to Blade Runner. I think I might go by myself, wear my leather jacket and a lot of eye makeup.</p> <p>Also, Emily K, no one ever agrees to watch tv with me because I can't shut up. Or prevent myself from saying what the ending is going to be. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-the-movies/page/2#post-1851291 Fri, 06 Oct 2017 23:58:41 +0000 rachylou 1851291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And we do have a dinner theatre but it's not a big big screen. For Blade Runner, it's got to be the three-story screen... hehe </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-the-movies/page/2#post-1851290 Fri, 06 Oct 2017 23:57:13 +0000 rachylou 1851290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol, Emily. I didn't know we had so much in common... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-the-movies/page/2#post-1851244 Fri, 06 Oct 2017 20:33:54 +0000 Emily K 1851244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not a movie-theater-goer. &nbsp;I cannot sit still for two hours (or be quiet for that long). &nbsp;I always want to comment on everything that is happening in the movie...speculate on the plot and the characters' motivations... &nbsp;That said, once in a while an epic movie comes along that begs to be seen in full, panoramic, IMAX glory. &nbsp;For that. I drag myself to the theater. &nbsp;</p> <p>Do you have access to one of those theaters that's full of sofas and tables and you can order pizza, beer, whatever? &nbsp;We've got access to one of those, but it doesn't fill the same niche as the IMAX. &nbsp;</p> <p>I wear comfy jeans, sweater, and bring a puffy and a blanket scarf. &nbsp;My husband ridicules me about it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-the-movies#post-1851230 Fri, 06 Oct 2017 19:25:09 +0000 rachylou 1851230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also: for two hours and forty minutes, I'd like a button to push for beer and snacks mid way... !! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-the-movies#post-1851223 Fri, 06 Oct 2017 18:52:39 +0000 rachylou 1851223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the idea of destroyed top and leggings, but don't come to think actually have anything in the destroyed category... except a couple of tanks.</p> <p>... I'm wondering if I should bring a pillow! That shoe movie I saw had new recliner sears installed - and they were all broken! We hopped around from row to row until we ended up back in the first set of broken seats we tried. It was pure comedy.</p> <p>...my problem with wearing what I wear to fly is that I've never really dressed that comfortably for flying. Planes bring out the Edwardian in me... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-the-movies#post-1851206 Fri, 06 Oct 2017 17:51:50 +0000 Lisa 1851206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear jeans, a t-shirt (short or long sleeve depends on the time of year), and carry a heavy cardigan for the frigid temps once inside. Plus a cardigan feels like I'm wrapped in a cozy blanket. I also wear shoes with a sock (sneakers or boots) instead of bare feet so my toes don't get cold.&nbsp; Needless to say my movie attire is all about warmth. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-the-movies#post-1851202 Fri, 06 Oct 2017 17:40:29 +0000 unfrumped 1851202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto all the comfort ideas.<br /> Real movies are a rarity for me and techichally is date night, but I never seem to do real “ smart casual.” I need full- length pants for warmth, usually jeans. Don’t want any overly long to drag on that floor. In fall I sometimes wear a leather jacket to be more stylish but knits are more comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-the-movies#post-1851192 Fri, 06 Oct 2017 17:13:25 +0000 Joyce B 1851192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wear something warm, a shawl could be useful, too. I always feel cold in movie theaters. I also dislike the very loud volume, I will keep SF’s suggestion of wearing ear protection in mind.<br /> Over two hrs at the movies is way too long, it better be a good movie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-the-movies#post-1851184 Fri, 06 Oct 2017 16:53:01 +0000 Laura G 1851184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What everybody else said, plus a big bag with real buttered popcorn inside. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-the-movies#post-1851176 Fri, 06 Oct 2017 16:44:12 +0000 Aziraphale 1851176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol Rachy, wear whatever you'd wear for an airplane flight </p> <p>(ETA I usually wear jeans or a comfy skirt, with shoes I wouldn't normally walk too far in, to the movies. Might as well take the opportunity to wear my "sitting shoes" when I'm going to be doing a lot of sitting!).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-the-movies#post-1851144 Fri, 06 Oct 2017 14:16:48 +0000 Angie 1851144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>New Nordies crops!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-the-movies#post-1851139 Fri, 06 Oct 2017 14:00:20 +0000 Sara L. 1851139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love going to the movie theater!&nbsp; We have several new theaters with reclining seats that are great.&nbsp; One theater has a brewery attached and you can order snacks and drinks by pushing a button.&nbsp; I'm usually hot because my 3-year old is terrified of movies (have you ever noticed how scary kids' movies are?) and watches them cuddled on my lap.&nbsp; I end up sweating by the end of the movie.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-the-movies#post-1851115 Fri, 06 Oct 2017 10:02:54 +0000 Style Fan 1851115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would wear very comfortable jeans, long sleeved T, fleece jacket and a down vest.&nbsp; I would bring a small fleece blanket with me.&nbsp; Now you may want to dress according to the movie era (or whatever). &nbsp; For that, I would wear faded black destroyed leggings, faded black destroyed tunic top and a Rick Owens type cardigan.&nbsp; I have not seen Bladerunner so I am guessing at the latter outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-the-movies#post-1851110 Fri, 06 Oct 2017 09:20:55 +0000 Sisi 1851110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Two hours plus sitting?? Yikes, I would go crazy. I&nbsp;suggest comfortable pants that do not dig into the belly and comfortable&nbsp;shoes. But you have already received a lot of good advice. When I go to the movie I do not dress in a particular way, I just wear what I usually wear.&nbsp;But I have problems in Winter, for the same reason <b>lyn67</b> mentions: warm&nbsp;puffer on my lap all the time - too hot! In a few occasions&nbsp;I ended up placing my bag on the floor and then placing my puffer on it, bundled up. Not that I like the idea of my bag on the floor of a movie theatre but .... when it is needed it is needed!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Staysfit </b>- earplugs are a great idea! I am also "noise allergic". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-the-movies#post-1851103 Fri, 06 Oct 2017 08:37:17 +0000 lyn67 1851103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I'm &nbsp;surprised that you are generally (all continents) feelin' that cold in the cinemas! I always have the reverse problem, how to dress not feeling hot, especially in the winter, when &nbsp;outside weather is freezing, you wear warm boots but &nbsp;have to carry your coat, hat and shawl in your lap all movie long:-((. I just don't get that kind of extreme heating, by us. So, I was to advice you on a light(weight) coat, layering upon a sleeveless anything, &nbsp;sheers instead of opaques, etc:-).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-the-movies#post-1851102 Fri, 06 Oct 2017 08:36:08 +0000 Staysfit 1851102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My problem with movie theatres is they are freezing and the volume is too loud. It’s like going to a rock concert and sitting near the amp. I say wear loose jeans or sweat pants, a cozy loose fleece top, a puffy vest or jacket for warmth and bring ear muffs to block out sound! You will look like you’re ready for a snowstorm in CA instead of the movies! </p> <p>I bring ear plugs to block out some of the sound. The soft spongy ones that you can get inexpensively at most pharmacies are good because they aren’t too annoying once you find a brand you like. They seem to block out just enough sound to allow you to hear the movie without being deaf afterwards! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-the-movies#post-1851100 Fri, 06 Oct 2017 08:11:32 +0000 rachylou 1851100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol, Jenni. Don't make me talk about Tom Cruise. He irks my nerves. He makes entertaining movies, but I refuse to pay for them.</p> <p>Also don't make me talk about Harrison Ford. My brother and I were laughing about how Han Solo and Princess Leia would never grow up and become Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher! Lol! They would Never have a son that idolises Marilyn Manson! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-the-movies#post-1851096 Fri, 06 Oct 2017 07:30:21 +0000 Jenni NZ 1851096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Much to learn, she has.

I LOVE Jack Reacher and Tom Cruise is too *#^* short. I mean, I am short and that's OK, but please stay true to the character! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-to-the-movies#post-1851094 Fri, 06 Oct 2017 07:18:12 +0000 Jenni NZ 1851094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just wear the usual... Ponte pants, some kind of top and a jacket or jumper. Boots in winter and possibly sneakers in summer because like others I get cold in there. We have had a tradition of going as a family to lots... all the Harry Potter ones, all the LOTR ones, all the Hobbit ones, all the Star Wars ones. Then just Neil and I go to the latest James Bond ones etc, and the odd other thing. I never saw the original Blade Runner but just saw the shorts of the new one. Harrison Ford looks so ANCIENT </p>
