Hear that sound? It’s the streets calling your name. Sure, we’re only a few days into 2024—hell, some might still be in recovery mode from the festivities—but don’t let that deter you. Because if one of your resolutions is to make a conscious effort to put yourself out there more, then you have to start stacking your calendar. Let’s be clear: we’re not saying you should go on a bender, as the “bus, club, another club” ethos is only something a few can (and should) commit to doing. However, if you were flaky about making plans last year, now is the time to step out on the town, finally.
Of course, sometimes that’s easier said than done, as the motivation to leave the house can be elusive. The prospect of dealing with fluctuating temperatures? Eh. Putting on a full face of makeup? Tiring. But the most draining part of the process is picking the perfect going-out outfit. Speaking from personal experience, I’m far more likely to cancel any engagement if I don’t have the proper eveningwear—I know I’m not the only one guilty of doing this! Therefore, the best way anyone can be coaxed into committing to getting off the couch is to invest in the right clothing. Having a few trend-forward items on hand can make the prospect of getting all gussied up actually alluring. But if you have yet to find those items, don’t fret.
In the vein of helping you emerge from your shell this year, I’ve combed through F/W 23 and S/S 24 collections to identify the party trends that are worth purchasing this year. Ahead, you’ll find a breakdown of the six going-out trends that will surely be spotted on the it-girls this upcoming year (including you, dear reader). Whether you’re planning on going out dancing with the girls, having an upcoming date night, or have secured a reservation at the buzziest spot in your city, these trends are sure to make stepping out on the town a lot easier.
