Whether you’re leaving the workplace to grab drinks with coworkers or going out for a night on the town with some friends and don’t have time to go home and change here are a few key pieces that can easily make the transition from day to night.
Here is where I’m going to tell you the secret! The 5 pieces that can work both day and night.
1) Dark Denim
Dark denim whether flared or fitted can be worn both day and night. Denim during the day is very casual, denim is universal and is a “comfort cloth”. People wear denim because it’s known to be a dressed down feel however dark denim is very sleek, it gives a more polished and put together feel, perfect for a night out downtown.
2) The Pencil Skirt
The pencil skirt is perfect for both day and night, making an appearance more and more in the “nightclub” scene, it seems many women have found the secret in making the conservative pencil skirt sexy. During the work day the pencil skirt is typically worn wit a nice blouse, covered cleavage and possibly a sweater or blazer. With the change of a shirt and a higher heel you’ve transformed your daytime bottom into instant nighttime sexiness.
3) The Blazer
When many hear the word laser they instantly think business wear but a blazer is so much more than a meeting in the office at 1 in the afternoon. Picture a woman in dark denim skinnies with a platform peep toe pump, a fitted tank top with some eye catching neck candy and a blazer that gives the perfect pop of color standing by the bar with a cosmo in hand, it’s a great sight to see isn’t it?Or even a man, black chinos, a black fitted v neck tee, a white blazer and a suede red loafer, the blazer easily transitions from day to night!
4) The LBD (little black dress)
Everyone’s favorite is definitely making an appearance on this list, the little black dress! This is another one we see a lot in the work place because it’s easy, it’s simple and it’s cute yet conservative but this piece is definitely an easy day to night one. It’s timeless and can take you from work to dinner or even out for a drink.
5) Black Heels/Black Dress Shoes
I must say shoes regardless of day or night can make or break and outfit. Black shoes are always a classic, whether worn in the office during the day with a business suit or at night with a little black dress or some chinos, a black heels for a woman is what a black dress shoe is for a man; sleek, polished, sexy and transitional.
