Outdated going-out pieces and what to wear instead

Trends play a key role when it comes to uncovering the looks that might work for your personal style. Since trends keep changing season after season, our wardrobe also keeps evolving, and this is a never-ending cycle. As soon as the new season arrives, a new wave of trends is introduced to the fashion crowd, and people that like to be on the top of their fashion game always like to get their hands on items that are trending at the moment. Old fashion articles get superseded by new and trendier pieces, and that’s how it always works.

Every fashion article comes with an expiration date except for some classic pieces. And it’s not just the basic fashion articles that hit expiry date, certain going-out pieces also become outdated after some time. There are some going-out pieces that almost every girl relies on when it comes to creating a chic, effortless and fun party look, but that’s going to change this year. Considering there has been a major shift in our lifestyles due to the pandemic, we all could definitely use a refreshing take on going-out pieces, and that’s what this article is all about.

Tip: Comfort is the most important factor; therefore, you should only stick to those pieces that make you feel the most comfortable regardless of what’s in and out.

Listed below are a couple of going-out pieces that feel outdated and the best alternatives to them.

Will be wearing: Puff-sleeve top

Avoiding: Cold-shoulder top
Cold-shoulder tops definitely helped us to create some of the chicest looks, but they are no longer in the game. As much as we enjoyed styling a cold-shoulder top, we are ready to retire them and wear a puff-sleeve top instead. One of the easiest ways to create a chic and effortless party look is by sporting a structured puff-sleeve top; it would be even more amazing if the top features a square neckline. Tops with puffy sleeves are a pretty interesting and fashion-forward take on going-out pieces.

Will be wearing: Sensible party heels

Avoiding: Sky-high heels
Your shoes are one of the most important elements in your entire outfit, they have the ability to make or break your look. And when it comes to creating chic and stylish party looks, most women usually prefer wearing sky-high heels, which isn’t a bad choice, but it isn’t the best choice either. As much as we like the idea of wearing a fancy pair of sky-high heels, it’s not a wise choice, especially if you are planning to have a fun night out. Comfort is the most important factor to consider when dressing for a party, and sky-high heels definitely aren’t the comfiest pair of shoes to wear to a party. Therefore, consider investing in a pair that is comfortable to walk in and also features some festive elements.

Will be wearing: Blazers with jeans

Avoiding: Out-there statement tops
In order to make a statement with your outfit, you don’t necessarily have to wear the flashiest top or other out-there pieces, you can easily make a statement in the simplest way as well, and the best way to do so is by wearing a smart blazer with your jeans. If you like to keep your approach for dressing a bit laid-back, then a pair of strappy sandals, a blazer, and jeans will do the trick.

Will be wearing: Leather Bermuda shorts

Avoiding: Body-con skirts
Move over the go-to body-con skirts and invest in leather Bermuda shorts instead. While body-con skirts have always been one of our favorite going-out pieces, they have started to feel a bit outdated now, and if you want to upgrade your party look, then leather Bermuda shorts are your best bet. One of the many things that make leather Bermuda shorts an exemplary going-out piece is its modern and comfortable silhouette.

Will be wearing: Corset-inspired tops

Avoiding: Off-the-shoulder top
There was a time when we always reached for an off-the-shoulder top when dressing for a night out, but the craze for this piece seems to be fading away. Corset-inspired tops, on the other hand, are reigning at the moment. Corset-inspired tops are pretty timeless in nature, and they definitely are one of the chicest pieces you can reach for when dressing for a night out.
