I could not believe my ears when New York announced they were lifting all restrictions a few weeks ago. It seems that within a blink of an eye, the city resumed its normalcy and everyone was subsequently rejoicing! This is relieving to hear, especially for all the small businesses that suffered throughout the past year and a half. Now that we can be social once again, we can all have our hot girl summer (yes, us moms too). Whether you find yourself heading to the clubs again, hopping from happy hour to happy hour or just ramping up on dining out plans, the need for a fresh, going out outfit is the common denominator. So in case it has been more than a year since you have really ventured out for nightlife too… I put together some night out outfits you can try for your next nightly adventure.
One-Shoulder Dress
If you have been dance deprived and are eagerly looking forward to getting back to the club just like old times, you are going to want a killer look to set the tone. The one-shoulder dress is a little more unexpected than a plain old cocktail dress and is a stylish option to dance away the summer nights in. The daring one-shoulder detailing can be found in a variety of silhouettes too, including short hemlines to maxi skirts. To further channel the vampy, going-out vibes, be sure to wear your favorite stilettos to complete the look.
Sheer Top
Sheer tops are just the thing you need to turn heads during your nighttime festivities. First, they tend to photograph well. Secondly, it is a way of looking sexy and alluring without flashing too much skin. One of the things I admire most about sheer tops is that they do all the talking so you can keep the rest of the look simple. A printed sheer top (tie dyes and logo prints seem to be trending the most right now) can be worn with practically any kind of bottom. Everything from some basic denim to shorts to trousers would be elevated with the addition of your sheer top of choice.
Bright Color
I love how the summertime encourages people who usually wear dark colors to branch out and wear hues that are not typically within their comfort zone. Personally, you all know I am a gal who never shies away from color. However if you are typically a more neutral lover, use the increase in socialization as an excuse to try something new! A bright color is a brilliant choice for a night out on the town.
It is proven that louder colors can put you in a better mood so why not try it out? I have always been attracted to red since it is such a fiery, passionate color but all bright, summery colors would make the same lasting impression. Do not be afraid to get matchy matchy either by opting for a monochromatic bright color story. The more the merrier!
Midi Skirt
Looking for a classy outfit to take on all the catching-up dinners you need to schedule with friends and family? I am one to always recommend a midi skirt as it is equally classy and stylish. Do not get me wrong, I love the minimal, silk slip skirt I have been seeing trending in the midi skirt department the past few years. However, I am always looking for more unique ways to approach a trend. If you are too, highly consider shopping for more non-typical mid length skirts such as ones with interesting patterns or non-neutral colors. This is a fun and refreshing way to take on this classic look!
Strappy Heels
When it comes to night out outfits, I cannot get enough of sexy heels! I love how the warmer weather gives me a greater excuse to show my favorite pairs off. Strappy heels that manage to lace up your ankle are so incredibly sultry and they beg to be the highlight of the look! So for my next going out suggestion, let your sandals be front and center of your going out look. Keep the rest basic – you could even wear a solid t-shirt and some cutoff denim shorts for a more casual take. Whatever the case, definitely do not be afraid to show off your strappy heels for your nighttime outfit!
