How To: Transition 2 New Night Out Styles From Summer to Fall

Wear Now Coordinating Item. During the warmer months, this dress doesn’t need more than a couple of great accessories to have you out on the town in no time. DVF recently launched a jewelry line, so of course, it’s no surprise that she’s got a fabulous necklace to work with the featured dress in this outfit. The triple strand is substantial and fills the neckline of the dress with stylish ease. What else can we say? It works.

Wear Now Coordinating Item. Play into the gold tone of the necklace in this outfit with these sexy gold heels. A slim, feminine pair of heels offset the easy fit of the dress and give it an upscale feel that makes it appropriate for dressier occasions. The strappy details of these Via Spiga sandals are so unique – the straps sit just at and below the ankle, really elongating your legs for a truly sexy look.

Wear Later Coordinating Item. Add a substantial black cami and these Hue leggings to the featured dress in this outfit to transform it into a stylish Fall option. You can still wear it buttoned up as a real dress, or – and this is our favorite – unbutton the bottom buttons (up to your hip) and the top button to wear it as a stylish jacket/layering piece. These leggings have a great wide waistband, so they suck you in and don’t cut at the waist.

Wear Later Coordinating Item. To complete this stylishly sexy date night look, add a fabulous pair of boots. Donald Pliner’s slouchy suede detail is a great balance to the airy feel of the dress for Fall – it creates a substantial feel that grounds the look that is strong and feminine. Or, you can get really sexy, with these awesome over-the-knee boots. They are both unbelievable prices if you get them before Nordstrom’s Anniversary sale ends on Aug 2.

KEY Transitional Item #2. This Vince dress is so chic, it’s as easy as that. It’s cut for a loose fit, as is generally the case for Vince. But in this dress, it’s done with a very mod feel in mind that is simply fabulous. Even petite women look great in this – the v neckline ensures the volume doesn’t overwhelm anyone, while the easy shape ensures you can feel comfortable, and sexy (we promise), even while dining on the biggest of gourmet meals. For the warmer months, you may want to add a cami if you don’t want to reveal too much cleavage. For most ladies, though, you can still wear a bra and show off just the right amount of skin for a night out. If your size is already sold out through the ‘shop it’ button, Vince’s own website carries this dress, with free shipping and returns, too. (We’re directing you to Shopbop because they are just sooo speedy.)

Wear Now Coordinating Item. We love the sexy, sophistication of pairing the sleek dress featured in this outfit with a simple pair of lady-like slingbacks in nude. They keep with the very minimalist feel of Vince. For a little more edge, Joie’s lace-up pumps are the clear answer. We love keeping this look as simple as possible for the warm weather, so just add your favorite delicate gold necklace and let your confidence shine through. A little can say a lot.

Wear Later Coordinating Item. Once the weather cools down, the dress in this outfit will still be a key item in your wardrobe. Just layer this Theory knit top underneath. It plays into the cool mod feel of the dress, with its fine ribbing and updated mock-neck (a turtleneck that’s not so high up on the neck, perfect even for those who don’t love turtlenecks). And the elbow length sleeves still reveal some skin, while looking sleek and fitted - a great balance to the silhouette of the dress. A sleeveless turtleneck or a one with long sleeves absolutely work, too, so go with whatever you’re most comfortable in. You’ll get plenty of use out of them all throughout the cold weather months.

Wear Later Coordinating Item. Add tights (Commando makes the best - the waist doesn’t pinch at all and they have a perfect matte black finish without that shine some tights have) with these stylish little booties to complete the cold weather way to wear the featured dress in this outfit. The feminine lace details ensure these booties will properly hug your leg. Along with the pointy toe and skinny heel, they’ll make your legs look long and slim poking out from under the wider shape of the dress. These booties come in full sizes only, so if you are between sizes, we suggest sizing up - especially if you don't have narrow feet.
