As the days become longer and the weather gets warmer, my social calendar is filling up with dinners, parties, and other engagements. To keep up with my busy schedule, I need reliable outfits that are not only comfortable and stylish – but can transition to any event from day to night. I know so many of you girls can relate, so I’m breaking down some of my favorite day-to-night outfits that can seamlessly take you anywhere. By starting with strong foundational pieces, all you need to do is switch up your shoes or accessories for an effortless switch. Make sure to refer back to these time-saving outfit ideas the next time you have a jam-packed agenda, so you can take on even the busiest days with ease.

Slip Dress

A versatile dress always comes in handy for any wardrobe predicament. Without fail, the slip dress proves to be the best for busy days. It’s minimal, yet dressy – especially when paired with a tailored blazer. When you find yourself dashing from meeting to date night, consider the slip dress to be your adaptable wardrobe hero.

Tailored Separates

My love for tailored separates will never die. A blazer and a pair of trousers can be worn a multitude of ways, making it an optimal choice for day-to-night dressing. For those who are heading into the office, a blazer and trousers are a no-brainer. When it comes to after hours, simply swap your work bag for mini one and head out the door.

All-In-One Jumpsuit

A jumpsuit is always a good idea when you’re on the run. This all-encompassing piece makes getting dressed in a pinch a breeze. For maximum wearability, I prefer to stick to neutrals. If comfort is your priority throughout the day, style with a sensible pair of flats but don’t forget to pack strappy sandals or heels for when the sun goes down.

Leather Jacket + Maxi Skirt

Spring fashion is all about light, breathable pieces. This year, I absolutely love that maxi skirts are in the spotlight. These feminine bottoms happen to be ideal for transitioning from day-to-night. Just throw on a leather jacket on top for an edgy chic pairing.

Cutout Top + Denim

When in doubt, a trendy pair of jeans goes a long way. It’s typically what I reach for when I know I’ll be out from morning to night. A cutout top, whether that’s a bodysuit or a blazer, is a hero piece that dresses up denim with ease. The beauty of wearing this uniform is that you can layer in any accessory.
