Going out for women

Dresses, dressy tops, heels, small bags and sharp jackets for a night out or a date.

Dressing for going out means choosing evening pieces like silk dresses, sculpted jackets and heels for dinner or a night out. Tailored jackets sit beside draped and asymmetric dresses in black, camel and orange.

Coperni was started by Sébastien Meyer and Arnaud Vaillant, who met at fashion school in Paris, and at its Paris show scientists sprayed a liquid onto Bella Hadid that set into a dress. Helmut Lang is known for the utilitarian, minimal clothes its Austrian founder first showed in Paris in the eighties. Nina Ricci, founded in Paris by Maria Nina Ricci and her son Robert, is known for a refined, romantic and feminine feel.

Pair a silk dress with a tailored blazer, or a leather dress with flat shoes for a long night. WDLT117 in Toronto brings every piece here, from Coperni gowns and tailored jackets to Helmut Lang leather, Nina Ricci satin, and heels from MM6 Maison Margiela and Toga Pulla.

Common questions

How do you style silk dresses for a night out?

Balance the drape of silk with a structured wool blazer over the shoulders. Finish with leather heels and a small clutch to keep the proportions clean.

What should you wear for a night out?

Pick one strong piece, such as a silk dress, a leather dress or a sculpted jacket, and keep the rest plain. Heels or flat shoes both work, depending on how long the night runs.

Which designers make the evening pieces on this page?
