Girls' Night Out Outfits for Plus-Size Women
Bars, dinner, dancing, or all three: easy outfits that go the distance.
2 min readA girls' night can start at dinner and end on a dance floor. The best outfit handles both without a wardrobe change.
Pick your plan first
- Dinner and drinks: dressy but relaxed. A great top and fitted pants.
- Bar hopping: lots of walking and standing. Comfortable shoes matter most.
- Dancing: something that moves with you and stays put.
Formula 1: the going-out top
- A satin cami, a one-shoulder top, or a ruched mesh top.
- Pair with dark jeans, faux-leather pants, or wide trousers.
- Easy to dress up or down depending on where the night goes.
Formula 2: the mini or midi dress
- A bodycon dress in a thicker, smoothing knit holds its shape all night.
- A slip or satin mini looks dressy with sneakers or heels.
- Add a cropped jacket so you are ready for a chilly walk between stops.
Formula 3: the matching set
- A co-ord top and skirt or top and pants looks styled with zero effort.
- Wear the pieces together, or split them later with basics you own.
Make it easy on yourself
- Wear shoes you can stand in for three hours.
- Bring a small crossbody with a phone charger and lip color.
- Anti-chafe shorts under dresses and skirts make walking more comfortable.
Group photo tips
- Rich colors and a bit of shine pop in low light.
- Stand slightly angled with weight on your back leg for an easy, flattering pose.
Quick picks
