When it comes to creating the perfect girls night out outfits, you may find yourself picking between dozens of different items and ideas. However, to make it easier and step your outfit up a level, building your outfit around a few key items is easily the best choice.
Sweater vests aren't the most common item in women's clothing, but with them seeing a rise in popularity of late, this could be your chance to experiment a bit. They are not only available in a multitude of colors and patterns, but they are also far more versatile than you think.
You can wear one with shorts, a skirt, pants, or over a dress, and you can use your shoes and accessories to either dress it up or down. They are also perfect for the cooler months, and if you get one in the right material, you can wear it when it starts to warm up, too.
Plus, most of them have a few pockets for you to store one of your pod vapes, your phone, or your cash.
Another hot trend that we have seen over the past couple of years is coordination, and we aren't talking about wearing a matching Adidas tracksuit, either. Matching colors and tones is a great and straightforward way to get a unique and super stylish outfit.
If you don't want your entire outfit to match, you can also match tones and shades and create an outfit with more depth and layers.
Slit pants are a combination of, you guessed it, pants and a slitted dress. With the slit ranging from fairly short to long, this is a fresh take on regular pants and a way to add a new dimension to a relatively simple item.
Pair them with a shirt and blazer for a super-chic Winter look, or leave the blazer at home if it is a bit warm outside. You can also wear them with a pair of heels or sneakers, making them a very versatile item to add to your closet.
Finally, the oversized blazer is another on-trend garment that you should pick up if you haven't already. The great thing about an oversized blazer is that even though it is far more casual than a regular pantsuit blazer, it can still be dressed up to be super-formal.
On the other hand, you can pair it with a skirt and sneakers for a casual look and a mini skirt and heels for a sexy yet classy high-fashion look.
Besides your outfit, there are a few tips you should remember that will make picking items easier, as well as ensuring you stay chic and sleek throughout the night.
The first thing you need to do is match your outfit to the event of the occasion. Are you going for drinks, are you going dancing, are you going somewhere more upmarket or casual? The event or occasion will determine what type of outfit you should wear.
Also, think about where you are going and how much walking you are going to be doing. While obvious, a pair of heels and a cocktail dress will look out of place
The next thing you need to do is consider the weather. Nothing will ruin a great outfit and look quicker than stepping outside and realizing it is far too hot, far too cold, or far too rainy for your outfit to look and feel its best.
Therefore, always take a look at the weather before you get dressed, as well as what the weather is going to be like in a few hours; this way, you can plan your outfit and accessories accordingly.
Shoes are another thing that requires a bit of pre-planning and thought. The typical decision usually comes down to whether you want to wear heels or not, and this decision can easily be made for you if you just think about where you are going and what you are doing.
If you are just going to be sitting and relaxing, heels will be perfect, but if you are going to be dancing, maybe opt for a pair of sneakers. This becomes a bit tricky if there is a dress code for a club; if there is, wear your comfiest pair of heels and maybe pack a pair of flats or sandals in your bag.
Makeup is the icing on the outfit cake. It completes your look and brings the whole ensemble together; therefore, you want to ensure that it stays on point throughout the night. While taking your entire makeup collection is unreasonable, you should always have an emergency kit.
Lipstick, eyeliner, a bit of foundation; take whatever you need to do a few touch-ups throughout the night to keep your makeup looking perfect.
Finally, accessories are still one of the most underrated items that you can use to take an outfit to the next level. The best thing about them is that they can make even the most outfits look high-fashion in an instant.
Whether it be a statement chain, bracelet, or something similar, use accessories to accentuate what you are wearing and to complement your personal look and style.
