7 point outfit formula

Here are the 7 points I use to create an outfit for a night out!

1. Try to pair a simple top with more fun pants

2. Stick to one color— a monochromatic outfit is simple but chic

3. Try mixing and matching different textures

4. Mix high and low pieces—not everything has to be super expensive

5. Don’t forget accessories!!

6. Comfy shoes are your best friend

7. Always try to have fun!

This is an outfit I recently wore that followed all of these tips and got so many compliments!

- Hand Over Ex-Boyfriend Cesar pants $135

- Aritzia square neck tank top $35

... Read moreWhen putting together a night out outfit, I've found that balancing style and comfort is the key to feeling great and getting compliments. One thing I always keep in mind is mixing and matching textures — like pairing a smooth tank top with sequined or velvet pants — which instantly elevates the look and makes it visually interesting without much effort. Monochromatic outfits, especially in darker shades like black, are a timeless choice that always looks polished and chic, perfect for summer nights. Another tip is not to shy away from mixing high-end and affordable pieces. For example, I might pair an expensive handbag or elegant jewelry with budget-friendly clothing items, and the overall outfit still feels luxurious and well put together. Accessories really complete the look, so never underestimate their power. A striking belt, statement earrings, or layered necklaces can transform a simple outfit into something memorable. Comfy shoes are a must-have — heels are lovely, but if you’re going to be out for hours, stylish flats or low block heels that support your feet let you dance and move around with ease, making your night more enjoyable. Lastly, the most important point is to have fun with your outfit. Fashion is a form of self-expression, so pick pieces that make you feel confident and happy. When you feel good in what you wear, it shines through and draws positive attention!
