Going Out with Friends outfits

Fun looks for a night with the girls.

44 looks · newest first

Going out with friends is the one night you can overdress slightly and nobody minds. Emily's formula is a strong top or a mini with something familiar underneath — the jean you know fits, the boot you can walk in. Look for fabrics that catch light without turning into a costume: satin, a little sparkle at the shoulder, leather. She almost always swaps the bag down to something small and hands-free. Prices below run from fast-fashion party tops to a proper investment boot, because a girls' night rarely justifies a full-price everything.

Across her going out with friends edits, the stores she pulls from most are Shopbop, Revolve and FWRD — so if you're only going to check one place, start there.

Thanksgiving is just around the corner

Thanksgiving is just around the corner! Here are a punch of perfect looks to wear. Great sweater options, an amazing jumpsuit from sea, and a great chocolate brown dress from Staud. I also love this Enza costa plaid turtleneck paired back to these great dark wash denim - would also be cute with a pair of brown leather pants if you already have that in your wardrobe. I'm loving these navy suede loafers from rag and bone too! #thanksgiving #thanksgivinglooks #whattowear #holidaydressing #LTKHoliday #LTKParties #LTKStyleTip

Here is the tennis dress I'm wearing to play a fun match with friends! Would work great for padel too. If im going to the gym I love this romper - easy look to wear to Pilates for a low impact workout. Looks cute to grab a coffee in after as well. Then at night I'm changing into this pink number and heading to dinner or a summer bbq, in flats of course, because your girl has to stay comfy! #LTKActive #LTKTravel #LTKParties

Going Out with Friends questions, answered

What do you wear on a girls' night out?
A statement top with a great jean and a heeled boot is Emily's most-repeated combination — it works for dinner, drinks and whatever comes after.
How do I dress up jeans?
Change the top and the shoe, not the jean. A satin or sequined top plus a heel makes denim read evening instantly.
Where are the affordable going-out picks from?
Zara, NastyGal and Red Dress cover most of the under-$60 party tops and dresses she links.
