Going out with your friends is the perfect way to cap off a long week. Hanging out with your girlfriends at a bar or club is just the thing you need to forget about the stressful week you had, catch up with your friends, relax, and reward yourself with some great eats and drinks. A girls’ night out is also the ideal occasion to wear your best outfits and show how fashionable and glamorous you are.
Picking the Right Outfit for a Girls’ Night Out
If a girls’ night out is a staple of your weekly routine, make sure you always look your best and ready for a fantastic time by having these must-have fashion pieces in your closet:
1. Stylish & Comfy Shoes
Going out with your friends usually means heading to a club and dancing the night away. It also often involves plenty of walking as you hop from one place to another in search of another happening spot or to cap off the evening with a nighttime snack or sip of coffee. Therefore, wearing a comfy yet chic pair of ladies’ shoes is a must for such an occasion.
Chunky heels are great options if you want to elevate your outfit and look and feel your best. They are comfortable to wear and give you additional height at the same time. If you are going out straight from work, opt for a pair of classic-colored heels. Shoes with timeless hues are perfect for day and night, regardless of the occasion.
2. Dress Pants
This wardrobe must-have is a great piece to wear on your girls’ night out when you don’t have time to change your clothes after work and before meeting your friends. But if you want to make a statement, wear a bold pair of dress pants. Opt for one with eye-catching patterns, such as striped or chequered, or made of fabric with a texture that stands out, including satin and rayon.
If you wear ankle-length dress pants, pair them with pumps or high heels for a more glamorous look. If you are going with bold dress pants, make sure you choose a simple button-down blouse to avoid going over the top—additionally, tone down the other elements of your outfit with classic and neutral pieces. This means wearing minimal jewelry and keeping your hairstyle plain and neat.
3. Jeans
Whether you are going straight to a club after a casual day at the office or still have time to change, you won’t go wrong with putting on a pair of jeans. A pair of women’s jeans with the right cut, wash, and fit can take you almost anywhere. If you want a classic style that can smoothly transition from day to night, go for bootcut jeans.
Choose a pair of dark, non-distressed denim for a polished, effortless look. This type of jeans also pairs well with heels, boots, or flats, depending on what you feel like wearing and where you are going. If you want a trendier outfit, go with flared or wide-leg jeans and pair them with a flowy vintage blouse. Another option is high-rise denim with tapered legs and a body-hugging top.
4. Button-up Shirt
Another wardrobe staple perfect for the office and a night out with your friends is a button-up shirt. While in the office, wear the shirt fastened to have an outfit suitable for your workplace. Wear a tank top under your shirt; undo the buttons once you are in the club or bar for a more casual, relaxed, and sultry look. With the right pair of jeans or dress pants and shoes, you will have an Instagram-worthy ensemble that won’t look out of place in any club or bar.
5. Crop Top
Crop tops are versatile fashion pieces that are also great for a girl’s night out. Pair your favorite black or white tee with jeans, dress pants, or even denim shorts. Complete your look with high-heeled shoes, boots, or plain white sneakers, and you’re ready for a spectacular night on the town.
Wearing a blazer or sweater over your crop top is a classic office outfit that never goes out of style. When the weather gets a bit chilly at night, you can also put your blazer or sweater back on.
6. Denim Jacket
Aside from blazers and sweaters, a denim jacket is another fashion piece you can wear when you go clubbing and the weather is nippy. If you are wearing jeans, choose a black fitted pair to avoid being dressed in denim from head to toe. Next, choose a white or any plain crop top. Wear your denim jacket over the top for a casual contrast in color and your choice of footwear to complete your outfit. A denim jacket will also work well with your favorite little black dress or any casual dress you want to wear.
7. Jewelry
The right accessories can also complete and elevate your outfit for your night out with your friends. Here are some suggestions:
- Necklace: Opt for an eye-catching statement necklace if you are wearing a basic black dress or top. If you have a dress or top with sleeves, put on something simpler or one with a chunky pendant.
- Earrings: When choosing which earrings to wear, consider the type of necklace you want to wear first. If you pick a statement necklace, go for classic stud earrings. If you have a more straightforward necklace, opt for a pair of bigger, dangling earrings that stand out.
- Cocktail Ring: A cocktail ring is a great accessory that completes your evening ensemble. It adds a little sparkle to your overall look. If you have several rings to choose from, consider the other jewelry pieces you have for some consistency.
8. Oversized Embellished Bag
Lastly, large handbags are also must-haves for any young professional. The good news is that an oversized tote won’t look out of place when you bring it on your night out. With an oversized bag, you have an accessory you can use for carrying around a whole day’s worth of items late into the night. You can even place your sweater or blazer inside your bag when you’re not ready to wear it yet.
Regardless of where you’re going and what you plan to do with your friends, whether you are going clubbing or to the mall, be at your most stylish and glamorous with these fashion pieces and tips.
