Research behind costumes.

Nightclub Typical Dress Code.


  • Avoid wearing sportswear.
  • Collared shirts are the safest option to choose however jumpers, sweaters and fashionable tops could be considered ok as long as bold slogans or logos are avoided.
  • Depending on the area in which you go out to, clubs will take different approaches on what you should and should not wear. Some may allow smart V neck T-shirts or Polo shirts providing they are worn with a suitable jacket. This rule will more likely be used in places such as London, and does not apply for Barnsley.
(Below is an example of a more strict dress code)


  • Again the general rule here is choose wisely, it’s not advisable to turn up in a Tee shirt that looks like you’ve been sleeping in it or wearing it to the gym!
  • Trousers and chinos are always allowed, and if you are planning on wearing jeans remember to choose smart ones as many nightclubs will refuse entry to anyone wearing ripped or baggy jeans unless you’re going for that scruffy but trendy look which you can probably get away with in areas like Shoreditch, Hoxton or Hackney.
  • Don’t forget your choice of shoes and be carefull with Converse, Plimsoles, Vans or Boat shoes as some clubs will still see them as too casual. Not only that but most clubs will not let you in if you’re wearing soft soled shoes as they are prone to scuffing the dance floor!
  • Photo I.D. is also essential as nearly all nightclubs have a challenge 21 or 25 entry policy.
Within our film ' Saving Grace' we will strictly follow these dress codes on our two main characters Grace and Becky in order to have more of a realistic approach. We will ensure that our protagonist Grace fits the dress code scheme within the build up of our film to then enhance the difference in her costume towards the end of the film. This will create a lot of sympathy from the audience as they can see that she has changed completely, almost like she has been transformed into a different person.
