What to Wear to a Girls Night Out: The Basics

Did someone say girls’ night out? Hold my wine. I’m OTW! Picking out an outfit for a night out on the town with your girlfriends can leave you clueless. Can I wear jeans to dinner? What do I wear to a happy hour? What if I don’t want to wear heels?  There’s a lot to think about when deciding on a going-out look, but use this guide to make getting ready for your next night out a lot easier! 

If you’re going for a cute and casual look…

Skinny Jeans 

Want to know the secret to make denim look classy? If you’re going to wear denim to a night out with the girls, but you still want to dress it up a bit, ditch your light wash jeans and head straight for your darkest pair. Dark wash skinny jeans are slimming and sophisticated. Wear these skinny jeans with some heels, and they instantly elevate any casual look to the next level.

Jumpsuits 

Don’t want to think too hard about your outfit? Jumpsuits are the way to go. They make you look put together without even having to try hard at all. The trick to finding a jumpsuit that’s casual or more glam is all in the material. Jumpsuits are versatile, easy, and simple to style.

Bodysuits

Bodysuits are great closet staples, especially for going-out wear. Like jumpsuits, bodysuits give the effect that you tried harder than you actually did to pull the look together. Pair a nice bodysuit with dark skinny jeans and strappy heels or flats, and you’ve got yourself a go-to look for meetups at the wine bar with your girls. 

If you’re going for glitz and glam… 

Leather

Leather is a classic, timeless material that makes any article of clothing look glam. Throw on a leather jacket over a dress or any outfit, and you’ll look like you spent more time getting ready than you actually did. If you really want to go for a showstopper look, ditch the jacket altogether, and go for leather pants instead. 

Sequins

When you think about going-out looks, it wouldn’t be shocking if you told me sequins and glitter came to mind. Sequined clothing is sure to make the center of attention wherever you and your girls go out. Girls’ nights out calls for the ultimate amount of fun, and sequined pieces are definitely giving just that.

Bodycon dress

Now ladies, if you are in a pinch and don’t have the time to think long about styling, throw on a bodycon dress, and there you have it. These formfitting dresses scream going-out wear, and you can never go wrong with a dress for your next girls’ night out on the town! 

The next time you and the girl’s text in the group chat about girls’ night out plans, you won’t have to bombard them with a million “What am I going to wear?!” texts. Use these basics as your guide, and you’ll have a look ready in no time. What’s your go-to girls’ night outlook?
