Dries Van Noten Top, Frame Jeans, Ferragamo Sandals, Cordera Bag

Getting dressed for dinner always takes a little more thought. It’s not quite daytime, not fully evening—it sits somewhere in between. Do you dress for the weather, where you’re going, or the piece you’ve been wanting to wear? I’ve found once the outfit is right, everything else, hair, makeup, comes together quickly after (my go-to makeup staples).

It starts with a top that carries the look. A ruched chiffon style in a saturated green brings in shape and movement right away. Paired with a clean flare jean, it creates that contrast that always works—structured on the bottom, more fluid up top.

Color plays a strong role here. Emerald, gold, light green, rose pink shades that hold through the evening and don’t get lost once you step outside. One clear color choice can carry everything.

Texture follows. A beaded bag or leather clutch adds dimension without needing to layer more in. It feels like part of the outfit, not something added at the end.

There’s also a place for pieces that move—fringe, draping, anything that shifts slightly as you walk. Even a simple satin skirt or pant changes depending on the details.

Finish it with a sculptural heel or a minimal sandal that holds its own.

It’s really about choosing pieces that already feel like something the moment you put them on, perfect for a night out, whether it’s somewhere casual or somewhere you’ve been looking forward to all week.

If you’re looking for a lightweight, durable fabric tote, this one from Baggu looks great.

I was browsing Shopbop the other week and noticed this affordable tote — I’ve always liked Baggu’s more colorful nylon bags, so I was intrigued to see this one.

It’s a “technical weave” made with 59% recycled material and looks quite sturdy. It’s got a lot of thoughtful details, like padded handles, and I also like the zip on top and zippered pocket inside. Also nice: it packs into its own pouch for easy storage.

The bag is $62 at Shopbop in black and a beigey taupe; you can find more colors at Baggu.com. (Ooh: this boxy carry on bag from Baggu also looks great.)

Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

I can’t get enough of the animal prints, but the stripe trim on this gorgeous dress from Reiss is what really sold me. Plus, it has pockets! What’s not to love?

The fabric is 100% viscose, so it will flow and drape beautifully. If you’re worried about clinginess, I’ve had great luck with the Jockey Skimmies line for slips.

The dress is on sale for $326 (marked down from $468) at Reiss and comes in sizes 0-12.
