My favorite nights out are dinners with friends. Whether we're meeting at a cozy neighborhood spot or gathering for a fancier celebration, the aim is to feel put together and chic without sacrificing comfort.

the tops

The grown-up version of the "going out top" from years past. For me, it's all about bringing subtle and refined sensuality through texture, silhouette, and drape.

the bottoms

Your favorite pair of denim, a low slung trouser, a sheer skirt, a drapey pair of pull-on pants.... anything goes for a night out with friends.

THE CROPPED PANTS. THE SKIRT. THE DENIM. THE TROUSERS.

Four staples to have on rotation for your evening wardrobe

  2. 18Revolve Madison Skirt
  3. 19Aflalo Orwell Jeans
  4. 20Frances Low Rise Relaxed PantReformation

THE PERFECT PANTS WITH A 90s VIBE

Low slung and effortless. These will pair well with an array of tops.

A MINIMAL STATEMENT SKIRT THAT DOES THE HEAVY LIFTING

My favorite column skirt from St. Agni. It hugs in all the right places and is the perfect counterpart for those fabulous tops, but works just as well with a casual tee. Comes in black leather, suede, and cotton.

THE EFFORTLESS PULL-ON PANTS

A not-so-basic basic. I love the lower waistline and slimmer width on the RLT Pant. They're lightweight, slinky, and elongate the legs beautifully.

the dresses

The ultimate feminine silhouette that takes many forms. High impact with low effort. I love a one-and-done.

THE SHEER DRESS

Wear as a dress over boy shorts and a bandeau or over a pair of body grazing flowy pants. It's a showstopper either way.

THE MINI DRESS

Elevate the silhouette with satin and a structured shape that sits slightly away from the body for a more modern take. Throw on a longline coat for some visual contrast -it's a great combination. PS: It comes in black, too.

  1. 30White Sleeveless Mini Dress

THE COLUMN DRESS

My favorite silhouette. No notes.

  1. 31Eaves Veda Dress

THE BUTTON DOWN DRESS

Wear it as a dress or over your favorite denim or flowy pants. This one from Eterne has the perfect weight and fluidity.

THE STATEMENT DRESS

I mean, need I say more?

the jacket

A jacket can be the finishing touch or the entire outfit. Look for ones with unique details to bring visual interest and contrast to more minimal pieces.

THE CLASSIC TEXTURES

Leather, fur, pony, suiting. Love them all.

THE STATEMENT JACKET

THE LONGLINE JACKET

The accessories

Hands down, my favorite part of getting dressed.

The boots to end all boots. TOTEME

The bag to end all bags. EMILY DAWN LONG

The perfect finishing touch. LE SUNDIAL

THE END.
