I am constantly stressed out about what to wear to go to bars in NYC. I have searched high and low trying to figure out what to wear that I feel comfortable and confident in, but also fits in with the other young, ~trendy~ 22-year-olds in Manhattan.
Below is the formula I always gravitate towards for bar nights when I have absolutely no idea what to wear in New York. (Contains affiliate links and links to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale).
1. Pick your bottoms: White flare jeans (white is dangerous for a crowded bar), black skinny jeans, dark flare jeans, black flare jeans, light wash mom jeans or a black skirt. I occasionally wear a cheetah printed skirt or snakeskin skirt.
2. Pick your top: Black is always a safe bet (like the one I'm wearing above), but I love a good silky cami with lace or a one shoulder top. You also can't go wrong with a bodysuit! Black is sometimes too safe for me, because I love color and detail.
3. Pick your jacket: If it is cold, or gets chilly at night: a leather jacket is your friend. I love my navy one. But I also have a velour black one and a faux leather black jacket (Nordstrom Sale!). Denim jackets are great too for a more casual scene. I also love to wear my black double breasted blazer.
4. Pick your shoes: Black booties (Nordstrom Sale!), black ankle strap heels with a chunky heel (Nordstrom Sale!), or a colorful pair of heels with a lace up detail is the move. Or if you’re going to a gross bar- white leather sneakers (Nordstrom Sale!).
5. Pick your bag: A small black crossbody (Nordstrom Sale!) is a safe yet classic option for packed bars, but what’s better is a fun feather bag or colorful clutch for a sit-down bar.
