The ‘Going Out’ Tops You Need To Wear This Weekend

So it’s Friday night and you have nothing to wear. Disaster. But wait, before you decide to cancel your plans in a fit of sartorial frustration, why not consider the ?going out? top. What was once a wardrobe mainstay in the early noughties, worn with low-slung denim, diamant? accessories and a hint of midriff, the ?going out? top is officially back. (Even Topshop and Missguided have a section dedicated to them).

To avoid looking like Paris Hilton circa 2006, give this trend an update: think sumptuous silks, midnight blues and wrap detailing. Paired with distressed denim and a delicate heel, this is a low-key weekend look that truly screams ?now?.

Get the look with our picks below.

 

Floral Top, €39.95 at Zara

Silk Camisole, Juan Carlos Obando, €674 at Net-A-Porter

Wrap Blouse, €9,95 at H&M

Crossover Blouse, €39.95 at Zara

Embroidered Top, €19.95 at Mango

Tie-Front Top, €34 at Topshop
