Girls' night is the outfit you get to have the most fun with, because the only people you're dressing for are you and your besties. Think a bit louder than date night and a bit comfier than the club.
These formulas mix and match with what's already in your closet, each with buttons straight to the stores.
The looks
Shop buttons open the store's own search or category page in a new tab, so you see today's prices, sizes and stock. Always check the size chart: sizing varies a lot between brands.
The going-out top and dark jeans
The classic for a reason: dressy on top, comfy on the bottom.
What to look for:
- Corset, one-shoulder or sheer-sleeve tops
- High-rise dark denim with stretch
- Add a heeled bootie or block heel
The jumpsuit
One piece, zero outfit math, total main-character energy.
What to look for:
- Wide-leg with a wrap or belted waist
- Plunge or halter neckline for drama
- Check torso length so it doesn't pull
The mini skirt and oversized blazer
Legs out, shoulders sharp.
What to look for:
- Leather-look, sequin or satin minis with stretch
- A boyfriend blazer you can drape or wear
- Bike shorts underneath for dancing
Matching sets
Coordinated looks that do the styling for you.
What to look for:
- Crop top and skirt, or top and wide-leg pant

Fit tips
