1. Chic and Cozy — Wear our cute tops for women for double duty by pairing them with jeans during the day and then dressing them up with heels for your evening glow-up. Take your day look from casual to classy by rocking a trendy sweater with tailored jeans and ankle boots. When the sun sets, swap your jeans for a sleek midi skirt and throw on statement earrings to dazzle.

2. Simply Sophisticated — Want simple date night outfits that take you from the office to your night out with that special someone? InStyle recommends rocking a linen dress or layering up with interesting details to keep it simply sophisticated. Start your day with a cute blouse, high-waisted pants, and flats for a more laid-back look, and then hit the town by layering with a blazer, adding on heels and a swipe of red lipstick.

3. The LBD — Beautiful dresses transition from your office chic workday to dinner date glam with a simple change of accessories. The classic little black dress is every fashionista’s favorite, so start your day by wearing the LBD with sneakers and a denim jacket, and then switch to strappy heels, a clutch, and a layered necklace.

4. Make It Pop — Make every moment pop with our guide on how to wear colorful clothes because bright hues can take you from sunny daytime strolls to glowing under the city lights in style! During the day, pair a bright-colored top with neutral-toned shorts and then when the night falls, switch to a leather skirt with bold accessories.

5. Laid-Back Luxury — Embrace a little laid-back luxury by rocking a flowy maxi dress with sandals by day and then layering with a blazer and heels for a polished evening look. Try it with our best-selling Harper dress with simple Tracie sandals during the daytime, and swapping the sandals for our Valerie heels in beige at night.

6. Power Casual — If you’re looking for a casual look you can wear from work to whatever, our trendy sweaters take you from day to night as you layer them over a cami for brunch or style them solo with statement earrings for cocktail hour. Go for the elevated neutral Kira cardigan with Gretchen flats during the day, and then dress it up with the Addison necklace at night.
