The Going-Out Wardrobe: 14 Pieces You Need

While we love going out on the town for the night with our friends, getting dressed for the occasion is always, well, a process. Too many times we’ve found ourselves getting ready with an expanding pile of clothes on the floor, and yet we still can’t find anything to wear (been there, done that). We feel your pain, so we put together a going-out capsule wardrobe.
A capsule wardrobe will give you the benefit of pieces to easily put together without requiring too much thinking. Wear an attention-getting going-out top paired with a pair of classic skinny jeans or sport a cute LBD that’s guaranteed to turn heads.
With a wardrobe filled with pieces that are bound to make you look chic, you’ll spend less time worrying about what to wear and more time out with your friends—talk about a win-win situation. Now shop the essential pieces for a night out to create looks you’ll want to wear over and over again.
Going-Out Top
A cool going-out top will put you in the right mood for a night filled with dancing. Wear it with dark jeans or a chic skirt.
Skinny Jeans
Skinny jeans will always be a classic option for a night out. We love them in a dark wash that’ll work in any setting.
Little Black Dress
Truth be told, you can’t go wrong with a little black dress. Wear it on its own or with a belt to take it up a notch.
Slip Skirt
We love a good miniskirt, but a slip skirt can be just as alluring. Wear a simple tank to let the skirt be the focus of the outfit.
Comfortable Heels
Instead of sky-high stilettos, opt for a pair of comfortable block heels that’ll allow you to stay out and on your feet for as long as you want.
Crossbody Bag
A cool and simple crossbody bag is essential to hold everything from your wallet to your lipstick. Plus, you’ll be able to keep it on you at all times.
Metal Accessories
If you want to take your outfit up a notch, metal accessories will give you a cool edge.
Whether you’re going dancing or heading to a bar for your next night out, these pieces are guaranteed to look good on you.
