Going Out Tops

Silk shirts, draped tops, and cropped cuts for women dressing for a night out.

Women wear going out tops for evening gatherings, pairing distinct cuts like draped silk shirts and cropped knitwear with simple dark trousers or denim.

Sharp proportions anchor the silhouette through asymmetric hems, sculptural twists, and rich velvet or linen in deep black and tan tones. The name going out top caught on in the early two thousands, and its classic partner is a pair of jeans.

Marine Serre made the crescent moon her signature motif, and Coperni is the Paris label of Sébastien Meyer and Arnaud Vaillant. Undercover, which Jun Takahashi launched in the early nineties, brings shirts and pullovers. WDLT117 in Toronto brings most of this page, from Marine Serre and Coperni to tops from UJOH and Nina Ricci. Due West in Toronto adds polos from Athoa and Kody Phillips, and Utopia in Toronto adds Dior and Alexander McQueen.

Common questions

What defines modern going out tops?
Modern versions rely on architectural lines, unexpected cuts, and textured materials like silk or velvet. Designers focus on asymmetric hems and sculptural drapes that contrast clean bottoms.
How do you style a statement evening top?
Balance a cropped or sculptural top with straight leg trousers or raw denim to ground the silhouette. Minimal leather boots or simple flats keep attention on the cut of the shirt.
Which designers make the going out tops on this page?
Marine Serre made the crescent moon her signature motif, and Coperni is the Paris label of Sébastien Meyer and Arnaud Vaillant. Undercover is Jun Takahashi's label from Japan, with roots in punk, and UJOH and Nina Ricci bring tops too.
