@annelauremaisStyle Notes: On their own, miniskirts can feel fancy and, as such, out of place in some venues. However, throw on a knitted top and boots, and a miniskirt—even a sparkly one—will feel significantly more effortless.

@nlmarilynStyle Notes: Blazers have the power to elevate any look—even leggings, which will give your usual going-out looks some low-key flair. I'm particularly into stirrup styles worn with pointed-toe shoes.
Pair these with everything from nice tops for evenings out, to chunky Breton stripe knits and Converse trainers for day.
The easiest way to make your outfits feel more more elevated.

@oliviamarcusStyle Notes: The beauty of slip dresses is that they can be dressed up or down with the simple switch of your shoes. For your next night out, try pairing yours with platform boots for an unexpected twist—the sort fashion types love to pull.

@the_oluwaseunStyle Notes: Is there any piece that can't be made infinitely cooler by adding a leather jacket? This is exactly the sort of cover-up you need right now when it's too cold to head off on a night out without something to keep the chill at bay. Wear it with trending tartan trousers, and you'll look the stylish part wherever you're going.
Every outfit feels more polished with a sleek cream bag.

@chloepierreldnStyle Notes: You probably didn't think a shirt dress would work for going out, but the devil's in the details. Add strappy heels and a chic shoulder bag to take your workwear favourite from day to night.
Make this dress feel even more eveningy with the addition of a chain belt.

@lucywilliams02Style Notes: There's a reason why jeans-and-a-nice-top is a classic combination. Its a high-low combination that rises to the occasion, without feeling too try-hard. Go as bold as you want on top, then ground with classic denim.
A great pair of jeans will serve your wardrobe all year round.

@sasha.meiStyle Notes: A simple bodycon dress can be worn so many ways. Add a shirt for a relaxed look, or elevate for evening with chunky jewellery and slicked back bun.
The bold colour and midi length makes this a real stand out dress.
Is there any outfit a chain necklace can't make look cool?
The Jodie comes in so many beautiful colours, but we love the combination of neutral on bold pink.

@tylynnnguyenStyle Notes: This is perhaps the most formidable wardrobe combination out there. Is there any night-out occasion or event you can't wear jeans and a blazer to? Make like TyLynn Nguyen and style yours with a silky camisole to give this effortlessly chic and chill look some after-dark appeal.
These Toteme jeans have the perfect amount of flare.

@xo.shruStyle Notes: Almost everyone has a pair of black trousers lurking in the back of their wardrobes, perhaps going unused if you're yet to migrate back into office life. So why not take them on a spin for your next night out with the addition of a trending tube top, statement gold earrings, and a bright handbag? Easy.
If you're looking for a new pair of black trousers, make them wide-leg.
