What should you do? First of all, according to Mirte, it is appreciated if a lot of effort is visibly put into your outfit. “That doesn’t have to cost a lot of money, but you want to see that it has been thought through. It often opens a conversation. People often think that as little clothing as possible works best, but that is not the case.” With this she makes a start towards her second tip. “Dress for the weather. It’s just February and you’re outside a lot during the day.” You should also not forget your noise-dampening earphones, Mirte warns. “Music is loud in the pub. If you want to celebrate this for fifty years, you have to make sure you don’t get tinnitus.”
