7 Girls' Night Out Outfits & Ideas for Any Occasion

There’s nothing more relaxing than having some girl time to laugh, catch up, and spill the tea. The only stressful part? Figuring out what to wear. After seeing the “What are you wearing?” texts pop up in the group chat so often, it’s time us girls nail down the perfect looks for ladies' night out.

Whether you’re going to the club or Saturday brunch, here’s our advice on what to wear for your next GNO and how to stay comfortable all night long – even in heels.

How to Pick the Perfect GNO Outfit

The purpose of a girls' night out is to be free and have fun, not worry about your clothes. Wearing the wrong shoes, feeling underdressed or like what you’re wearing is too much can be frustrating. The best going out outfits should be stylish, appropriate for the occasion and, above all else, comfortable.

When planning your ladies' night out outfits, give yourself a few options. Lay out different ensembles such as a dress versus a look with pants. Here are a few tips to help you get started:

• Feel free to experiment. Being with a group of supportive girlfriends who love to hype you up is the ideal time to try something new.
• Accessorize plenty. Elevate your look with the right accessories, from a statement handbag to new jewelry.
• Know if it’s formal or casual. The type of outing you go on determines the theme of your look. Dress up if you made reservations and dress down if you're going to a local dive bar.
• Wear comfortable shoes. From dancing until dawn to all-day shopping trips, keep your feet comfy and out of pain with cushioned shoe inserts for women’s shoes.
• Be ready for a fashion emergency. Don’t let ankle chafe, tight straps, or blisters in your going out shoes ruin your good time. Have a shoe emergency kit on hand for you and your girls.

When you’re struggling to put together a look, check out the following girls' night out ideas with the outfits to match:

The Brunch Outfit

When the weekend rolls around, what better way to kick it off with a bottomless brunch? Break out your Sunday clothes and look for something bright, because pastels, whites, and light wash denim make for a stunning girls' brunch outfit.

For a casual brunch, consider a floral top with mom jeans and nude sandals. You can swap the jeans for white trousers or a skirt and accessorize with pearl earrings for a classy look. Sandals squeezing your toes? Take the pain away with discreet ball of foot cushions.

Girls' Night In

Why go out when you can have just as much fun inside? Whether that means attending book club, binge watching Netflix’s latest reality series, or going to a spa, you can still be comfy and stylish at home with the girls.

Look cozy and chic in a pair of loose joggers with an athleisure sweatshirt and slides. If you’re having a sleepover, feel cute in a silk pajama set complete with fuzzy slippers. Toss a couple deodorizers in your overnight bag for an always fresh scent.

Clubbing Outfit with Heels

Getting tired of the little black dress? Stay on trend and feel confident in a sheer button up top, a seamless bra underneath, and high-waisted denim. Or, sparkle under the lights in a sequined minidress, thigh high boots, and an astrological necklace to match your sign.

Dancing in heels is not for the faint of heart. Instead of suffering from aching pain or blisters, use Foot Petals® shoe inserts for heels. They cushion your feet, absorb shock, and prevent blisters so you can dance all night without carrying your heels all the way home.

P.S. Is that sequin mini dress making you itch? Use our anti-friction balm to help minimize irritation, blisters, and prevent thigh or underarm chafe!

Dinner & Drinks

Celebrating with your girls over dinner and drinks calls for a new fit with a touch of flair. Of course, what you wear might depend on the restaurant’s dress code. Try this versatile look: a leather skirt and tights, silk camisole, blazer or faux fur coat with peep toe heels.

You can tone it down with jeans instead of the skirt and replace the heels with canvas sneakers or fall booties. The day before, spritz your shoes with this shoe protector spray to protect your look from unwanted spills and stains. It also works on handbags!

All-Day Outing

Looking for something to do after brunch? Turn your get-together into a girls' day out with shopping, antiquing, cafe hopping, and more. Just be sure to wear a comfortable outfit with supportive footwear since you’ll likely be doing a lot of walking.

For a casual yet stylish look, pair a cropped tee with mom jeans and chunky white sneakers or Mary Janes. Alternatively, a floral maxi dress with comfy sandals feels breezy and chic. These 3/4 shoe inserts help absorb shock and stay discreet for heel-to-toe comfort during a full day of activities.

Trip to Wine Country

Going wine tasting this weekend, or sharing appetizers at the local brewery? From a short romper with wedge sandals to a brightly colored jumpsuit with flats, streamline your look with a one-piece ensemble for stress-free style.

The right accessories will elevate your look, and some can even improve your fit. When your heels slip out of the back of your shoes or your straps keep falling, Foot Petals heel grips and strap cushions for sandals secure your fit so you can worry less.

Concert Outfit

Invite your squad to a night of music and fun. Whether you’re into pop, country, or hip hop, seeing your favorite female artist in concert is an experience you’ll always remember. If there’s a theme for the tour, you could spend months planning your outfits together.

Look concert-ready in a sparkly crop top with baggy jeans and court sneakers, or feel comfy and confident with jeans shorts, a graphic tee and combat boots. Protect your feet from the pain of standing for hours with orthotic insoles for women, podiatrist-designed to relieve and prevent aching foot pain.

The Final Tip for the Best Girls' Night Out

The most important thing to remember about dressing up for girls' night out is that it’s never a competition. Spreading positivity will do wonders for your confidence and theirs. So swap outfit ideas, share what you’re wearing, and stop uncomfortable shoes from ruining your fun with Foot Petals inserts and shoe cushions.
