There’s nothing like a good boogie, and a nightclub is a great place to get down. When it comes to getting ready for a night out, there are certain codes you can follow, but there are no rules on how you can express yourself. From a girl’s night out to a birthday party, there are many occasions and ways to express yourself and look as chic as a runway model. Whether you’re headed to an RnB bar or a ’70s inspired discotheque, here is the ultimate women’s guide to dressing for a club.

Nightclub Dress Codes

If you’re unsure about what to wear to a nightclub, the key is finding a balance between looking chic and being comfortable. Bodycon skirts, jeans and a cute top or a jumpsuit – there are no rules when it comes to dressing appropriately. However, it’s best to avoid chunky sneakers or ill-fitting T-shirts, so stick to eveningwear that is worth showing off.

Clubbing Outfits

Whether you’re heading to a grungey nightclub or something classy, turn some heads with a cute clubbing outfit. A slim fitting bodysuit looks excellent with palazzo trousers or a mini skirt, or keep it casual with a crop top and cargo pants and boots. If you’re heading out to a fancy spot, opt for a bodycon dress or a jumpsuit with high heels, and you’ll be ready to boogie all night long.

Button-Up Shirt

Get inspired by the office-chic look with a button-up shirt. Whether you keep it undone or fully fastened, this is a great way to spice up an outfit, no matter where you are. When the temperature rises, wear a sheer piece with a bralette underneath or rock an embellished design with a pair of jeans for a polished aesthetic. This is a stylish and timeless option for someone to wear to a club, so switch things up and try something new!

Jeans / Trousers

You don’t have to always to wear a dress to a club, a pair of pants or jeans are also a fantastic choice. If you’re ready to make a statement, sequined, sparkly or shiny bottoms look great with a plain top. These are best for any season of the year, and you’ll stay comfy so you can dance all night!

Footwear

There are some basic rules when it comes to club footwear. Heels and boots are an easy option and work well with a myriad of outfits, so why not go all out and wear them in wild shades of colours and styles? If you want to dance all night, opt for chunky platforms or simple and clean sneakers. If you’re wearing the latter, it’s best to go for something sleek and stylish. You can never go wrong with a pair of strappy stilettos or classic pumps, but make sure you’re comfortable, so you don’t get blisters.

Clubbing Accessories

Go all out and make a statement with extra fresh accessories. If you don’t want to bring a bulky purse with you, opt for a belt bag or a clutch, so you can keep your hands free and still have a secure hold of your possessions. Hair clips with bold words are a great way to keep the strands out of your face while you dance, and bold necklaces and earrings are an easy way to complete an outfit. Don’t be afraid to mix things up and go all out – you’re going to look like a million dollars!

What to Wear to a Club in Winter

When the mercury drops and you’re ready to dance, a great way to go is in layers. Wearing a large coat will keep you warm as you get to the club, but choosing light clothing like a bralette and palazzo pants, or a slinky dress. Be sure to put the outerwear in the cloakroom, so you’re free to have a boogie all night. If you’re planning to go bar hopping, opt for a long sleeve jumpsuit or a bold two-piece, and you’ll make every place you go to the hottest place on earth.
