Here are 5 fabulous "going out" outfits for five different occasions, including perfect college party outfits. You can customize these looks yourself with items you already own and tailor them to suit your personal style as well.
1. Girls' Night Out Outfit
Products: Jacket - Nordstrom, Earrings - Nordstrom, Hat - AEO, Necklace - Neiman Marcus, Crop Top - Free People, Jeans - AEO, Clutch - Nordstrom, Heels - Steve Madden
This look would be perfect for a night out with your favorite girlfriends - whether its dinner and drinks, dancing at a club, or just a cocktail party at your place. When you're choosing a girls night out outfit, you should experiment with trends and have fun with fashion! After all, your girlfriends (more than any guy) will appreciate style risk-taking. designer cocktail dresses 2018
Boyfriend or mom jeans are perfect for a girls night -- men don't seem to understand the trend, but your girlfriends get it. Add a cute off-shoulder crop top to balance out the baggy jeans, and drape a moto jacket over your shoulders. Finish with trendy accessories like a baker boy cap, glitter pumps, a leopard clutch, and gold earrings.
2. Dinner Date Outfit
Products: Trench - Boohoo, Dress - Forever 21, Earrings - Nordstrom, Gloss - Sephora, Clutch - Nordstrom, Nail Polish - Amazon, Heels - Lulu's
This pretty dinner date outfit is perfect for having a meal with that special someone. The dress is from Forever 21 so it's ultra-affordable, plus it's sexy without showing a lot of skin. I love the look of a shorter dress with a longer trench or duster over top, so I added this gray duster trench from Boohoo.
I kept accessories sweet and romantic, adding a pretty satin bow clutch in blush pink, star ear-crawlers, and suede ankle strap heels (with a thick enough heel that they're easy to walk in). Finish with a swipe of lip gloss, like this one from Fenty Beauty.
3. Keg/Frat Party Outfit
Products: Jeans - Topshop, Off-Shoulder Top - Revolve, Earrings - Baublebar, Crossbody - Express, Shoes - Jessica Simpson, Necklaces - Nordstrom, Eyeliner - Sephora
When you're going to a party and there's a good chance you'll get beer spilled on you, you have to dress strategically. College party outfits shouldn't be expensive: No pricey leather shoes or designer bags for this one! You can still look ultra cute though.
For this look, pair your favorite skinnies (these Topshop ones, though they're an investment, are my personal favorite jeans ever) with a pretty off-the-shoulder top. Add lace-up ankle booties, tassel earrings, and a cool metallic clutch. Finish with a swipe of black liquid liner for a cool-girl vibe.
4. Casual Night Out Outfit
Products: Tee - Shopbop, Eyeshadow Palette - Sephora, Jacket - Nasty Gal, Jeans - Topshop, Crossbody - Express, Boots - Amazon
If you're heading out to a bar trivia night with your significant other or just hanging out at a friend's place, here's a cute and casual going out outfit that's anything but basic.
I paired simple dark-wash skinny jeans (again with my favorite Topshop Jamie jeans!) with a pretty graphic tee, then layered a pink moto jacket over the top for an edgy but cute feel. Low-heel ankle boots are perfect for a casual night out -- they feel fancy but aren't too dressed up. Finish with a smokey eye and embroidered crossbody bag.
5. Cocktail or Dinner Party Outfit
Products: Lipstick - Sephora, Hair Accessory - Chloe + Isabel, Dress - Nordstrom, Clutch - Target, Ring - Baublebar, Nail Polish - Amazon, Earrings - Baublebar, Heels - Amazon
If you're in the mood to wear something a little more fun, consider throwing a cocktail or dinner party with your best friends. Make a rule that everyone has to dress up in cocktail attire - it's a great excuse to buy a cute new dress! My friends and I used to do this a lot and it's so much fun. Here's an idea for a cute cocktail party outfit:
For this look, I went bold with a pretty green off-shoulder dress and a mint clutch. Keep the accessories neutral here: I just added beige and white floral heels and gold jewelry. If you want some extra pop, complete the look with a bold red lip.
