While we love going out on the town for the night with our friends, getting dressed for the occasion is always, well, a process. Too many times we’ve found ourselves getting ready with an expanding pile of clothes on the floor, and yet we still can’t find anything to wear (been there, done that). We feel your pain, so we put together a going-out capsule wardrobe.
A capsule wardrobe will give you the benefit of pieces to easily put together without requiring too much thinking. Wear an attention-getting going-out top paired with a pair of classic skinny jeans or sport a cute LBD that’s guaranteed to turn heads.
With a wardrobe filled with pieces that are bound to make you look chic, you’ll spend less time worrying about what to wear and more time out with your friends—talk about a win-win situation. Now shop the essential pieces for a night out to create looks you’ll want to wear over and over again.
