Going out with friends during the summer just hits different than all the other months. I feel like everyone is more relaxed and down to have a good time! Whether it be happy hour, dinner, or all of the above, I love a good going out outfit. Since I have been attending a fair amount of industry events and spending more time catching up with friends over a drink, I thought there is no better time than now to round up all of my favorite nighttime outfits as of recently. Some of these looks can even double as outfits for events such as a summer wedding, as we you know I am all about repurposing a stellar outfit for multiple occasions. So order your favorite cocktail, throw on some music, and come shop some show stopping summer night out looks with me!
Show Stopping Summer Night Out Looks

Metallic Moment
One way to nail the night out outfit is to simply go for gold – literally. Lately, I have been obsessed with the metallic trend and it obviously makes for such a bold look. Everything from itty-bitty dresses with embellishments to a metallic chainmail mini skirt is an A+ in my book and you know all eyes will be on you. Plus, if you plan on snapping a few photos while out and about, anything metallic makes for a really good photo op!

Pop Colors
As mentioned in the past, bold colors was one of the biggest trends of the season. When shopping for summer night out looks, I suggest stepping out of your comfort zone and opting for something that is flashy and eye-catching. These days, I swear I feel so confident in saturated colors which is crazy. I have been so accustomed to always choosing more neutral tones. If these pop colors are not really your thing, one way to adapt this trend is to stick to classic silhouettes but in just brighter shades. Upon doing so, your outfit still remains classy and polished even in a green, orange, or fuchsia.

Crop Top & Maxi Skirt
I am in love with the look of this crop top and maxi skirt combination! The juxtaposition against the shortened hemline of the top and the long, sweeping lengths of the bottom makes for a really unique summer night out looks. This is a great outfit combination for when you want to hop from work event to dinner to a club – all in one night.

Waist Cutouts
Like the aforementioned pop color trend, this next fashion must-have continues to reign supreme. Of course, I am talking about the cutout – but more specifically waist cutouts. We all know and love the Cult Gaia Serita dress. Well, this look has increased in popularity by tenfold and I am here for it. The waist cutouts just happen to accentuate the hips in all the right places. You can also take notes from Megan and add a waist chain for a little extra oomph.
