Getting ready for a fabulous night out with the girls means an outfit that will make you feel good, look great, and be prepared to be the center of attention. The perfect going-out top can lift your look and set your spirit just right to hit the town and go dancing. Whether you prefer a dressier or more casual vibe, there are plenty of trendy yet affordable options. Here are six must-have tops to consider rocking for your next joyous night on the town:
1. Elegant Spaghetti Strap Top
You can choose a spaghetti-strap top of a deep, rich jewel tone, like emerald green or sapphire blue, for more put-out glamour. This elegant yet laidback top style is an excellent option for going out tops for women wanting to look chic for a night out. Those thin, delicate straps will show off your shoulders and collarbone in a flattering way that’s flirty yet classy. Another nice thing is a top made from light, flowing fabric like silk, chiffon, or rayon, lightly skimming the body.
You can wear these bright cami tops with high-waist jeans, possibly even over sleek pants, and finish with strappy heeled sandals or pumps. This look is perfect for vamping up the look for a dinner date, a chic party, or even a night out with the ladies. Make sure to layer a cropped jacket or tailored blazer on top if this isn’t warm enough.
2. Casual Racerback Tank
For an even more laid-back but no less sultry look, a racerback tank is just the thing for those evenings, going to an outdoor concert or following friends into the street festival. With the long arm opening and exposed upper back, this kind of sultry statement feels relaxed and easy.
Choose an excellent one-tone ribbed knit racerback tank made in a soft, stretchy fabric that fits close to the body but allows easy movement. Key colors here would be black, white, gray, olive green, or deep plum— they’ll give you practically unlimited wearability. Toss in an oversized jean jacket or a moto jacket for that extra edge when the night air cools things down.
Style this relaxed yet flattering tank with distressed, cuffed boyfriend jeans, your favorite booties or fashion sneakers, layered necklaces, stacked bracelets, dangling earrings, and a faux leather crossbody bag or clutch.
3. Ruched One-Shoulder Top
Dial the glam factor up in a chic one-shoulder top featuring on-trend ruching along the body. The one-shoulder neckline is modern and stylish, showing off the shoulder and collarbone area with much appeal. Look for a one-shoulder top with soft stretch material in a vibrant hue like cherry red or royal purple to show off your silhouette.
Bring an edge to this bold one-shoulder top with faux leather leggings or sleek coated jeans, sky-high strappy heels, and an embellished clutch for a high-impact look on the big night out. The sky is the limit for this piece. Feeling a bit more casual? Pair the top with high-waisted jean shorts or an asymmetric mini with flat sandals or edgy combat boots.
Admiring glances are due your way all night in this striking, head-turning top. Style hair in tousled waves and wear it over one shoulder, finishing the look with a sultry smokey eye and deep lip color.
4. Delicate Lace Crop Top
Radiate feminine charm and romance all night in an ultra-pretty, semi-sheer lace crop tops that makes a sweet yet seductive statement. Look for intricate floral or geometric lace patterns in classic hues like ivory, blush pink, or classic black.
Since the delicate lace makes this midriff-baring style quite revealing, it’s best to pair it with a high-waisted skirt or trousers. A flowy tiered lace or chiffon maxi skirt coupled with beaded sandals creates a boho-chic festival look. On the other hand, a classic high-waisted pencil or midi skirt in a sleek fabric like Ponte looks ultra-sophisticated and chic for an upscale evening out.
You can also layer the lacy crop top over a sleek bandeau or camisole for added coverage. Make sure the underlayer is fitted and has the same tone as your skin for a smooth look. Finish off with a faux suede moto jacket or tailored blazer on top, sparkling statement earrings, and an embellished clutch.
5. Cold Shoulder Cut-Out Top
There is nothing like a top with cold-shoulder cutouts to be flirty, modern, and perfect for a hot summer night. Search for the ones with an open neck and arms to elongate the neck. Then shop for that edgier look in cold-shoulder tops with asymmetrical necklines or even peekaboo cutouts along the back, chest, or sides.
Similar to the lace crop top, style it with high-waisted bottoms to even everything out. Wear linen, cotton, or modal fabric to keep your skin breathing in the heat. Solid shades, like blush pink, light blue, sunshine yellow, or white, will look good on many skin tones. Style with stacking bands, mini hoops, and slide or loafers.
Pair it with a balmy night of dancing under the stars, a night market on the boardwalk, people-watching at a pop-up event—outdoors. Feel the breeze through peek-a-boo cutouts as you laugh and connect with friends, new and old. Others will appreciate your effortless style as you stay cool and comfortable all night.
6. Embroidered Mesh Top
A mesh top with embroidery, complex threadwork, and bead detail will also help you acquire this bohemian-free spirit look. Crochet tops in an ethereal style or layers of sheer chiffon work beautifully. Look for pieces that are beautifully embroidered with florals but have open-knit details.
Team this top with a cami, bandeau, or bralette underneath for coverage. Pair them with midi skirts, high-waist jeans, or feminine shorts. Finish off with strappy sandals, gladiator flats, or wedge espadrilles to keep the whole look grounded.
Accessorize from the beach to the park or for those casual evenings with junk jewelry, woven handbags, and bracelets. Wear some boho spirit to an outdoor concert, when browsing an art fair, or at a picnic dinner under the stars. Let your inner gypsy reign as you mingle and make new connections among like-minded free spirits during your night out.
