Going Out Tops | What to Wear to Date Night |

Whether it’s date night or girls night out, a going out top is the one item in your closet that should make you excited to get dressed.

Every season I find a few going out tops to make getting dressed for evenings out fun and effortless. Here are my picks for some great going out blouses and tops you’ll love wearing.

Why Everyone Needs a Good Night Out Top

I saw a tik tok making fun of millenial women describing their outfits as “jeans and a going out top,” but the truth is that I still live that life.

The easiest going out formula will always be a cute going out top and a pair of jeans. Why fight it?

Timeless Date Night Style

For evenings out I find that I now tend to keep it pretty simple. I love this black bodysuit and find myself reaching for it quite often. It’s a great capsule wardrobe item, and perfect for casual nights out.

A sleek bodysuit is a great option for night out since it pairs perfectly with jeans and can be easily layered with a coat, blazer or moto jacket.

There are simple and classic tops, and then there are blouses you have for special occasions. A little embellishment, a sexy neckline or silky smooth blouse, there are the kind of tops you reach for on a special occasion. Here are a few of my favorites.

If you’re looking for tops with a little more flair and style,

Here are a few “going out tops” I’m loving at the moment. All under $100 and could live in your closet all year round—for several years. Classic, sexy and effortless. Isn’t that the vibe we are all going for?

Lately I’ve been loving just a simple cream or black top paired with silver details, from the shoes to the bag and jewelry. Silver is definitely trending this fall, so it’s an easy way to update your existing going out outfit, by adding silver accessories.

I ordered this top from shopbop and also this one—I plan on choosing one for our upcoming east coast trip. But I also love that they are versatile and timeless which means I can wear them over and over again.
