Spring Style (After Dark)


As weather at this time of the year is highly unpredictable, you need to be prepared for anything the season might throw at you, particularly when going out at night.

Style Guide for Spring After Dark


What I Should Know?
  • Stylishly navigating spring is all about clever layering.
  • One of the best ways to personalize an outfit is to add unexpected accessories.
  • A leather dress belt always brings a touch of class to your outfit, even if you're in jeans.


TOP: INNER PIECE
A good and sleek sweater is exactly the type of piece that will get you through an evening in complete spring style. To begin with, it should be thin enough that you can wear another layer underneath or on top of it without looking bulky. At the same time, the contrasting V-neck and slim fit make it flattering, even when worn alone on a warm evening. You can also pair it with dress pants Monday through Friday

PANTS : BOTTOMS
If there's even a remote possibility that your evening may take a turn for the swanky, leave your relaxed fit, distressed denim in the crumpled pile on the floor where it's usually kept and slip into darker, slimmer jeans. Like a straight leg, low-rise cut perhaps.
At night, team them with tailored pieces to create a long, lean silhouette. Later on in the weekend, however, feel free to pair them with sneakers and a hoodie while running errands or grabbing a beer with the guys.

ACCESSORIES: FEDORA HAT


One of the quickest ways to add interest and really personalize an ensemble is to add unexpected accessories. Reveal your eccentric side, for instance, by topping off your after-dark look with a cotton-blend fedora. A black background makes this hat suitable as evening wear, while the contrasting plaid-print band will give your outfit a preppy, cool spin.


COMPLETE THE LOOK: BLAZER
 Say no to your stuffy blazers for the next several months and usher in the season by picking up a two-button cotton blazer. Find a blazer with a touch of stretch to it that gives it a dressy feel but also makes it super-comfortable to wear since it won't resist movement, even when you're dancing wildly. What's more, it's incredibly versatile, as it's one of those pieces that will add polish to any ensemble, making it the ideal piece to help you transition from work to play in complete spring style after dark
