    31 Pieces Of "Going Out" Clothing You'll Be Thankful You Bought For Next Weekend

    Yes, actually, I do know what to wear.

    1. A sequin long-sleeved top if the aesthetic you're aiming for this NYE is "disco ball chic" and I mean that in the least offensive way possible. Wearing this sparkly number whilst shouting the countdown at your TV screen = good fortune for the year ahead. It's science.

    2. A cowl neck midi because what I'm thankful for this November 24 is simple ensembles that look fabulous, don't cost a small fortune, and can be re-worn to the slew of events I have unfortunately been invited to for the next 1.5 months.

    3. A black strapless bustier to zhuzh up the pair of high-waisted jeans you wear *checks Instagram grid* pretty much every single time your boot passes the threshold of your front door.

    4. A long-sleeved off-shoulder top with so many 'fit possibilities that my head is spinning. Rest assured that regardless of if you wear this with jeans or a bodycon skirt, this loose-fitting bebe is comfy, comfy, comfy, and did we mention, comfy?

    5. A skintight maxi that reviewers swear is an affordable dupe for *that* celeb-owned brand with *that* particular floor-length dress that is consistently out of stock.

    6. A ruffled blouse with a tie-back design, aka the perfect crop top to throw on when you're in a time crunch and have no idea what to wear. This versatile piece matches with any bottom (skirts, shorts, jeans, etcetera) and would look fab layered under coats and cardigans.

    7. A zippered cardigan and miniskirt to take away the monstrous headache that is having to match a top and a bottom before a Friday night out.

    8. A tie-front midi finer than any vino you'll be consuming during a multi-course dinner. This outfit *is* the bread and butter, okay!?

    9. A bustier crop top designed with boning for support (*cough* no bra required here), adjustable straps, and a whisper of stretch, so that the below feels as if it were tailored to your exact measurements.

    10. A pair of fleece-lined faux-leather leggings guaranteed to make you feel ~trendier than thou~ strutting to your usual dinner spot. Pair these with any simple top to make it look as if you didn't snooze through your alarm this morning.

    11. A mesh sleeved corset beckoning you to add it to that Amazon shopping cart, stat. This fitted top tucks perfectly into your high-waisted leather skinnies *and* fancy skirts.

    12. A cutout top serving Big Holiday Energy. Your outfit will have basically attained a Pinterest level of perfection — just add a skirt (or jeans) and knee-high heeled boots. Glass of sparkling rosé in hand is optional but highly encouraged.

    13. A supportive underwire bodysuit capable of making the word ~swanky~ come immediately to mind. Essentially, an addition like this to your wardrobe has the same energy as popping champagne or munching on caviar.

    14. A V-neck trimmed cami guaranteed to become your new IT. And by IT, I mean this is your new official go-to top — the kind of gorgeous thing that pulls through when you have five minutes to get ready and no patience to dig through your wardrobe.

    15. A pair of relaxed wide leg pants featuring the winter fabric of choice: velvet. These are high-waisted, rival your leggings for coziness, and can be paired with a cozy sweater or long-sleeve crop top.

    16. A knit cutout dress that is. the. best. thing you'll purchase no matter the season (just throw on boots and a faux fur in the colder months). Dare I say, I'll... actually want to make plans going forward? Just for an excuse to wear this gem?

    17. A V-neck jumpsuit capable of making you swoon every time you pass a mirror. Fancy cocktails will be consistently interrupted by the dozens of compliments you'll have to accept.

    18. A tiered bell-sleeve top that's wonderful for daytime office parties which, in my humble opinion, are also the best parties. Free bagels in the conference room and complimentary pizza for lunch? *And* I don't have to show up after hours of working to mingle with colleagues? Bliss.

    19. A satin bodysuit so stunning that I almost feel the urge to...dress up? And give my leggings a break? I'm sure the moment is fleeting but for now, that's enough for me to hit the "add to cart" button.

    20. A sequin dress with the words "New Year's Eve" embedded in the fabric itself. Plans? Not made. Excitement? Not felt. 2022 goals? Not met. But alas — at least you'll ring in 2023 wearing a lovely 'fit that requires Instagram documentation.

    21. A maxi dress available in 59 hues and fabrics (including the below emerald green velvet). TLDR: This tried-and-true wrap silhouette is the perfect ensemble for any occasion — for both the holiday season and wedding season, the latter of which my body shivered at the thought.

    22. A bodycon pencil dress that looks so. damn. chic. And while the importance of owning the perfect LBD is no secret, it's likely you've had the same one for...decades (#guilty). I believe it's time we both level up.

    23. A swanky spaghetti-strap cami likely the muse behind Rihanna crooning ~where have you been all my life~. If you've thrown your entire wardrobe onto the ground in pursuit of a decent top, this bb will be here to save the day.

    24. A pleated faux-leather skirt equipped with built-in shorts so you can brave windy winter nights and holiday commutes without worrying about potential Monroe moments.

    25. A one-shoulder top best accessorized with mistletoe, the scent of balsam, several holiday dishes, and a mug of eggnog that you will not drink because you find the taste revolting... despite your best efforts to like it.

    26. An elegant split-hem midi that may ruin the best part of the wedding you're at: cocktail hour. Eating calamari will be consistently interrupted by the dozens of compliments you'll have to accept.

    27. A faux suede mini skirt serving Big Holiday Energy. Your outfit will have basically attained a Pinterest level of perfection — just add some boots and a bodysuit. Glass of sparkling rosé in hand is optional but highly encouraged.

    28. A sleeved off-shoulder bodycon because you may have been invited to a champagne-sipping event, but your budget is more like the $2 beer special. This number looks expensive but is actually quite affordable.

    29. A satin midi skirt voted "most likely to be worn by royalty." A delicious silky gold fabric coupled with a mid-thigh slit? I'm salivating. This is basically champagne and caviar converted into clothing form.

    30. A snazzy cropped sweater if you want to feel dressed up — sans uncomfortable, always-on-the-verge-of-ripping black tights. Pull on your favorite jeans, add some feathers via this cozy violet top, and voilà! You are dinner ready.

    31. An adjustable strap satin slip about to become your official holiday uniform. If high school friend group A, college friend group B, and distant family C don't have any guests in common (and if you time your Insta feed correctly), no one will know about your outfit repetition.
