Girls Night Out Outfits

How do I dress for a girls night out?

First rule: dress for the girl you become after two espresso martinis. She's bolder, she's funnier and her outfit needs to keep up. A girls night out outfit should make you feel like the most confident version of yourself the second you zip it up, whether that's a slinky mini dress, a leather skirt with a going-out top or a full co-ord set (that your friends will immediately ask to borrow). The venue matters too. Rooftop cocktail bar? Something classy and sleek that catches the sunset light. Dive bar with a jukebox? Jeans, a killer top and the attitude to match. Restaurant-turned-dance-floor situation (because it always turns into that)? Something you can eat, laugh and move in without adjusting every five minutes. The best girls night outfits aren't about following a formula, sometimes it’s about if it will make a bomb mirror selfie.

What are some girls night out outfit ideas?

Here's your cheat sheet depending on the vibe. For a classy girls night out, a satin midi` dress with heeled mules and delicate gold jewellery gives you that grown-up glamour that makes every venue feel like it was booked specifically for your table. Going more casual? A pair of straight-leg jeans with a bodysuit, a leather jacket and boots is the outfit that says "I didn't overthink this" while clearly being the best-dressed person in the room. Summer nights call for a mini dress in a bold colour, strappy sandals and nothing else because warm weather outfits should be simple and unapologetic. For something with edge, a leather skirt with a fitted top and statement earrings has that "she definitely has the best music taste" energy. And the co-ord set route? That's for the nights when you want to look coordinated and put-together (sans the effort).

What about outfit themes and plus-size girls night out inspo?

Themed girls nights are the ones that end up being the most fun and the most chaotic, love that. All-black is the easiest theme to commit to and always looks incredible as a group. Matching colours (everyone picks a different bold shade) makes for unreal group photos. A Y2K throwback night with low-rise everything and butterfly clips? Camp, chic and fully committed. For plus-size girls night out outfits, the same rules apply: wear what makes you feel electric. A sequin mini with heeled boots is just as powerful on a size 18 as a size 8. A fitted jumpsuit in a bold colour photographs beautifully on every body. A satin set with statement jewellery is the kind of outfit that starts compliment chains from strangers in the bathroom. Dressing for a girls night isn't about your size; it's about your energy, and that should always be set to maximum!
