The Long Weekend Is Almost Here. 21 Going-Out Outfits For Every Occasion

Ever stand in front of your jam-packed closet, staring at more than enough clothing options, and think: I have nothing to wear? Same. But perhaps the issue isn’t that you’re out of viable outfit choices. You just need a fresh dose of inspiration to help you see your wardrobe in a new way. That’s where Outfit Dump comes in. On the first of the month, every month, we supply you with enough ideas to fuel your style until the next drop comes along.

The party playlist is queued, the Aperol spritzes ready to be poured, and the plans set in stone — now all that’s left to do before heading out for the long weekend is pick out an outfit (or a few, depending on your plans). Of course, that’s easier said than done, especially after a year-plus being out of the game. Do people still wear square-toe boots in the summer? Are midi slip dresses the ultimate nighttime frock? Can we wear a Nap dress to go dancing? 

Yes, not necessarily, and, with the right shoes, absolutely, for those wondering about the triad above. But putting together the perfect going-out outfit extends beyond that. Which is why we thought it best to give you a refresher on the best party looks for summer, be it cowboy boots paired with lingerie-style slips or naked dresses styled with strappy sandals. And it’s all summed up in the 21 slides ahead, where we curated Instagram’s best going-out ‘fits.

Find one to recreate during the forthcoming holiday weekend, ahead.
