Arguably the proto-party mindset, this is the type of going out you’ll be most familiar with. It involves some preparation, an acceptance that best laid plans may go awry and a look that is both committed to the party without being too sensible (if you can handle 20 days’ annual leave, then you can handle 3in heels into the wee hours). A fun suit is ideal, so take your cue from Isabel Marant who elevated the “boardroom look” into something more pinched and feminine.
Topshop’s velvet version is slick and affordable. If you want a dress, go for something long and shimmery à la Bottega Veneta and whack a long-sleeved T-shirt underneath if you’re planning to go three parties deep. Pair both with white boots and some fun earrings. Finally, don’t be a tool. Pace yourself. MF
