Long gone are the days of being confused in front of the mirror mere moments before the Uber arrives. Here are 4 outfit formulas to keep in mind the next time you’re going out for a fun night + links to recreate these looks.
If you haven’t seen Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 of this series, go check it out.
casual suiting + loafers
For an elevated evening: a work event, anniversary date night, celebrating a promotion.
Styling notes:
I like the mismatched jacket and trouser more than the matching situation - but both are ultra chic
Will work over a t-shirt or a tank
The high waisted pant will give you that 50’s/60’s look that’s very in right now
A belt is a great addition but not necessary
regular fit vertical stripe button down + straight leg trouser + loafers
For a night out with friends: cocktail bar, jazz club, a friends birthday dinner
Styling notes:
Leave the shirt untucked
Cuff the sleeves for a laid back feel
Wear socks with this look
Unbutton the top two buttons - slutty is very in for 2024
t-shirt + cropped trousers + smart shoe
For an intimate evening: poker night, cooking with friends, date night to the movies
Styling notes:
Prefer a pocket graphic tee or a oversized plain one (as shown above)
Socks or no socks both work
Need a watch or a bracelet to complete the look
No belt with this look
Also can be done with a less baggy pant
crochet knit button down + jeans + sneaker
For an low key night: going to your neighborhood bar, bowling, grabbing a quick bite
Styling notes:
Wear the top open
Accessorize all the way through: stack necklaces, rings, bracelets
Belt or no belt works
