This is the third in a series on evening outfits.  The first was “How to Wear Velvet Now for All Your Special Occasions.”  The second was “How to Dress Up Your Little Black Dress.”

For laid-back events when you’re going out but it’s nothing fancy, I’ve got lots of ideas.  You can take a plain and comfy outfit to something special…or even to something sexy yet classy.  When you keep it classy, age doesn’t matter.  With that in mind, here are 50 outfit combinations to inspire you:

  • Good for bar-hopping:  A long-sleeve gray t-shirt over comfy black pants.  Add a chunky chain necklace + earrings + dress heels.
  • Lunch or easy evening:  A silk t-shirt + lounge pants.  Add cut-out booties + a studded bag + gold bracelets.
  • Country easy evening:  A black sweater + black jeans.  Add a black belt with a crystal buckle.
  • Sexy easy evening:  A tuxedo jacket + black evening cami + brown or brown tweed trousers.  Add a gold belt + brown leather sandals.  You might also like to add a dark red leather evening bag.
  • A simple outfit + a great gold cuff + a sparkly cocktail ring.
  • Something simple + a touch of shine.
  • A white tee + blue jeans + a tuxedo jacket.
