17 Going-Out Tops That You Can Actually Wear in the Winter
The term "going out" is quite loose when you think about it. Whether your interpretation is an elegant date night at the city's hottest new restaurant, casual drinks at a wine bar with your few closest friends, or a night of clubbing with relative strangers, the fact is you'll need a dressy top for the occasion.
These going-out tops become decidedly more complicated during winter months because your go-to combo of a silky or cropped tank top and a leather jacket just won't cut it. Instead, opt for one of these long-sleeved options that pair with your favorite skinny jeans just as well. Plus, these options won't require you to wear a coat that you'll have to carry around all night. Until the warmer months roll around, shop these 17 picks for your next night out.
Reformation never fails to disappoint when it comes to elevated basics. I also really like the black color this top comes in.
Throw on an oversize black blazer for a really sexy yet polished date night look.

The bustier trend will be everywhere this spring, so get ahead of it with this long-sleeved knit.
There's a lot going on here—the tiger print, the ring adornments, and the open back—but it somehow all works.
Pair this with black blouse with jeans and heels for a last-minute look.
This fun mock-neck top will take you from work to drinks seamlessly.
If you need extra warmth, wear this one as a shirt for a really cool nighttime look.
Another little cropped sweater I just can't resist.
