STYLE ADVICE: Date Night Do's

We’re now into one of the most hated/loved months of the year: February. Whether or not you’re going out on a Valentine’s Day date with your significant other or grabbing a bite with your girls to boycott the Hallmark holiday, this Fashionista has the perfect look for your night out.

It’s all about the basics with this look. A purple turtleneck sweater is a versatile item that is dressed up by her gray suede skirt. The stitching on her skirt adds some visual interest and the slight asymmetry to the hem differentiates it from the fitted suede skirts we’ve seen on all our favorite street style stars.

Black accessories complement instead of compete with the rest of her of her look. Her small bag is elevated by a chain strap and small tassel on the side. Her matching opaque tights add some coverage and warmth in the cool winter weather.

The black, textured booties that this Fashionista chose to wear finish off her look perfectly. They’re so much cooler than your average bootie, but again, don’t compete for attention with the rest of her ensemble.

The Fashionista took her look to the Windy City for a girl’s weekend, but it can easily be worn on other occasions and in a smaller locale. Just add some playful accessories and a statement coat for GNO or pull your hair up in a romantic topknot for that date with your significant other. You could also keep it chill like this Fashionista and brush all your hair to one side for a look that shows off some chic statement earrings.

Whatever you choose to do for the upcoming holiday, take some sartorial inspiration from this Fashionista and choose elevated basics for your next night out.
