You and your sisterhood are heading out for a night on the town. Spice up your ladies’ night out by making a big group statement: coordinating outfits. This is more than a dress code; it's a way to have fun and bond with your fellow sorors. The city won't know what hit it, and the pics to follow will make for great memories.
There are a couple of different styles you could choose from, depending on your personal preferences and tastes. Here are a few outfit options to make your next ladies night one to remember.
Transition from Work to Play
If you are heading out right after work or school, dress up the outfit you will already have on. The blazer you sported for your presentation can be ditched; instead, just show off the sleeveless linen shirt underneath. The pencil skirt you've been wearing to look professional will also double as sassy. Put on your favorite “red” lipstick and those fashionable stilettos.
Dresses for Days
Another outfit that transitions well from daytime work to nightlife fun is a dress. Have all the ladies wear a fun print and a style that makes them feel like a million bucks. You will get a lot of variety, but the overall feel of the group will fit together.
Classically Chic
Can you ever go wrong with a little black dress? Imagine your whole sisterhood sporting their best little black dresses, topped off and personalized with chic accessories. Your group will look fly, elegant, and classic. Little black dresses have been wardrobe staples for a whole century, but the look is definitely not a dated one.
Little Black Dress Meets Casual
If you still want the bold and sophisticated vibes of a little black dress but want it dressed down a little, consider dark wash denim and a black top. This can have the same polished look as the classic black dress while being a better fit depending on the activities planned for the evening.
Pick a Color Palette
Maybe you and your sisters have different styles. That's okay! A way to incorporate everyone's tastes while still coordinating as a group is to pick a color palette for the night. Then everyone can do their own take on it, whether they dress it up or down. You will all look like you belong together, but this allows individual personalities to shine through.
You don't have to just pick one color. You can have everyone wear jewel tones or tell everyone to show up in their favorite cool-colored clothes. You can even scour Pinterest for color palette inspiration.
Represent Your Colors
Since you will be out with your sisters, you might as well let the world know what brought you together. Have everyone don their favorite Delta Sigma Theta paraphernalia. You don't need to all be wearing the same DST shirt; everyone can find a DST apparel item that fits them best.
Pick a Print
Another way to tie your ensemble together is with everyone wearing a piece with an animal print. Leopard, cheetah, and zebra patterns will stun as your sisterhood styles them up.
It's All in the Details
Want a more subtle way to tie your sisterhood together? Friendship jewelry doesn't have to be exclusive to school girls. You don't need half a heart with "BFF" emblazoned on it. Rather, do some accessory shopping together and find something everyone loves. It could be anything from hoop earrings to chokers to stackable rings to bracelets. It will be a smaller detail that most outsiders may miss, but you will all know the significance of the pieces.
A Mile in my Shoes
You have probably seen people in a group wear matching shirts, but what about matching shoes? Have your sisters snag a pair of matching shoes in their respective sizes, and use those as your starting point for your outfits. You will see a lot of different ways to dress up or down.
Because everyone is tying their outfits back to the shoes, they will all coordinate together with minimal effort from you. See how many people pick up on your fancy footwear while you are out, and make sure to take that iconic “shoes only” picture for the Gram. (Helpful hint: matching shoes may not be the best choice if you are going bowling. That could get tricky in a hurry.)
While you're all out and looking your best, snap some Instagram-worthy pictures! But don't forget to slide those phones into your clutches and enjoy the time with the sisterhood around you, too.
