4 Easy Outfit Formulas for an Evening Out
You’ve been invited out for an evening, are really excited to get out and do something different, but haven’t ventured out past dark in soooo long that you have no idea what people wear anymore! It’s one of the occasions that I'm asked about a lot- that tricky not dressed up for a wedding but dressy enough to appear that you have made an effort without being OTT or too casual.
You could just dress up a casual outfit that you already wear with heel, a clutch and your favourite lipstick. Or see if you can recreate one of the outfit formulas below using pieces in your wardrobe.
Nice Top + Blazer + Jeans
The timeless jeans and nice top combination with a blazer twist to add some grown up sophistication! Pair with ankle boots if you prefer something enclosed.
2. Midi Dress + Heeled Ankle Boots + Evening Bag
Dust off your clutch bag and wear evening eye/lip make up to ensure that the look is more night than day. Wear tights if you feel more confident in them. Check out my blog Failsafe Ways to Pair a Coat with a Dress or Skirt if you need a cover up.
3. Statement Skirt + Knit + Heels
A slightly dressier combination if you need to elevate the outfit further, whilst the knit will keep you warm and stop it from being too dressy.
4. Wide Leg Trousers + Off The Shoulder Top + Clutch Bag
This formula works equally well with long or culotte style trousers. Keep the top half body skimming to balance out the width of the trousers.
