“Going out” outfit ideas to save for when you have “nothing to wear”
You know the feeling. You’ve got a girls night planned or date night that’s long overdue and you have “nothing to wear”. So many times I’ve looked at my closet and have zero fashion inspiration. So I’ve compiled a list of some cool outfits for a night out – to save for later when I’m feeling indecisive or uninspired.
It’s time to ditch the “pants and a cute top” look for something a bit more trendy. Girly, femme-fatale, rocker-chic, or urban cowboy? Whatever your style vibe is – there’s is something for you! Check out these 5 “going out” outfits to bookmark for later. Maybe you can bring some new energy into your current wardrobe or be inspired to try something completely new! So get ready to go out-out.
Honestly, you can’t go wrong with a mini skirt and some mid-calf boots. It’s and easy “cool girl” outfit that’s uncomplicated and one that you can mix and match in multiple ways. Box-pleat mini skirts and balloon skirts are currently very trendy – but a good ol’ fashioned black mini skirt will also do the trick. Skirts not your thing? Try a skort!

Honestly, what’s cooler than animal print right now? Especially leopard and cheetah print. I’m a huge fan of leopard print at the moment – especially on a night out. And if I’m feeling like being even more extra I’ll add a faux fur jacket. If you’re heading out on a spring or summer night and think a faux fur jacket is too heavy, opt for a lighter afghan coat with a fur collar instead.

Cut-outs are so last year. This year, asymmetrical and off-shoulder tops are all the rage. They are a great way to show some skin, but still look put together. Wear them with a cool mini or maxi skirt or perhaps your favorite pair of baggy jeans.

4. A Matrix-inspired leather jacket
It can get chilly in the evenings – which means appropriate outerwear. And maybe you can relate to that frusterating feeling of putting together a cute outfit only for it to be ruined by your coat. So what coat should you wear on a night out? The answer is easy. A leather coat that will make every cool outfit look even cooler. And if you really want to make an impression, choose a leather in a cool color like red, green, or even purple.

If you’re still feeling uninspired when it comes to outfit for a night out – why not go for a tried and true classic. The slip dress or slip skirt! It’s sexy, but in an understated way. Wear a slip skirt with a matching silky top like influencer @andreabelverf above, or go for a slip dress and accessorize with tall boots or kitten heels. This look is always a 10/10!
