Going Out Summer Outfits

By A Mystery Man Writer

What do you wear to go out without going the obvious route? Here's your guide to fancy outfits that aren't boring.
Wear your off-the-shoulder top with a fancy updo, a bright lipstick, and a fun pair of pants. Even though these wide-legged trousers are denim, they're dramatic enough for p.m. fun.
This sort of pretty dress is a secret weapon during the summer. It's the 24-hour dress and works for every occasion. Glam up your makeup to really make it a going-out look and swap out your sneakers for heels.
Culottes and a leather belt can make a plunging neckline feel less intimidating.
A mini sundress works for after hours with a great lipstick and platform heels.
Don't be afraid of layering at night, too. A party top under a sundress can feel unexpectedly cool.
A long-sleeved shirt? A denim skirt? Yes, if you're pairing with killer heels (and your shirt features a healthy crop). Look closely at the chain over her shoulder, too — a dazzling piece of hardware (whether yours is in the form of a suspender strap or a pendant necklace) can do a lot to your look.
