Now that the ride out is finally looking up, the thought of after work cocktails and dinner dates sounds like a good thought. But because your work attire is business casual, how do you transition what you’re wearing into something more date or “night out” appropriate? No one wants to be seen in office wear at a fancy restaurant, so here are a few helpful tips to help you transition your work wear into evening wear.

1. To dress up the standard pencil skirt and blouse, swap the pumps and stockings for bare legs with sexy strappy sandals. Let your hair down, swipe on some pretty lip gloss, add a touch of blush and you’re good to go!

2. On casual Fridays, roll the bottom of your jeans into cuffs and trade your flats for a pair of black stilettos. Toss on a black blazer over your plain tee, add two coats of mascara, swipe on some red lipstick and grab an oversized clutch. End the look with a bold statement necklace and leave your hair down and loose.

3. If you’re wearing a suit, make sure you wear a pretty, patterned top underneath the blazer. When it’s time to transition into evening wear, remove the blazer, add a skinny belt and end the look with heels and a clutch.

4. To glam up a plain pencil dress, remove the blazer, if wearing one. Add a metallic skinny belt and wedges and accessorize with pretty bracelets or a statement ring.

5. You can never go incorrect with summer dresses! They are work appropriate as well as perfect for date or cocktail nights. Just reapply your makeup, toss your hair into a messy bun, swipe on a pop of colour on your lips and away you go!
