Being an editor has been my dream job for so many reasons, one of which is the plethora of fun events, parties, and dinners I get to attend with brands and designers I love and admire. I’ve been described as somewhat of a social butterfly, so having my calendar full regularly with tons of opportunities to wear something fabulous is one of the things I look forward to most. That said, I have become somewhat of a party/night-out dressing connoisseur, and during the colder months, I know it can be a little more difficult to dress for an evening out.
Not to worry. I rounded up 30 of my favorite going-out pieces perfect for fall, from the coolest jacket-and-miniskirt two-piece set to the prettiest velvet Tom Ford going-out bag to outerwear pieces you can throw over your favorite dress.
Keep scrolling to take a look at the 30 fall night-out-ready pieces I’m loving at the moment.
I'm actually obsessed with this cropped-jacket-and-miniskirt set.
I'd wear this set with a good pair of tall boots.
A must-have for nights out in the colder months.
These are calling my name.
How chic is this clutch?
It got cold in New York out of nowhere, so it looks like I'll be wearing my faux fur sooner than normal.
House of CB pieces are my go-to for a night out. They fit the body so well and always gain me tons of compliments. This faux-leather cocktail dress would be perfect for a dinner out or a party.
The ultimate little black going-out bag, in my opinion.
It's the sheer fabric and olive hue for me.
Pumps that are comfortable enough to wear the entire night.
An off-the-shoulder dress always gives the right amount of flirtation.
I'm a big fan of a mini bag for a night-out look, and this leopard print is so on-trend.
I have this dress in black, and now I need this maroon one, too.
I wear my stack of bangles all the time, especially when I'm heading out for the night.
A sleek black pump is almost always what I reach for when getting dressed to go out.
Guizio is one of those brands I always look for when shopping for new going-out pieces. This corset top has been on my mind since I first saw it.
A black miniskirt is a must-have in your going-out wardrobe.
The open back on this dress is showstopping. I'd save this for a special night.
This was one of House of CB's most popular pieces for so long, and I can see why.
My dream sheer midi skirt.
This pretty brown-mauve satin color is divine.
I'm so into this sheer knit minidress.
These come in seven other colors.
Zara is always at the top of my list for good going-out outerwear.
Micro-shorts are still in for fall. I love this suede pair from Free People.
Filing this under "incredible going-out tops."
How fun are these?
A staple going-out shoe. Perfect when worn with a good pair of pants.
I love the idea of a jumpsuit for a night out.
Pair with a little black dress.
