If there’s one thing everyone should have in their wardrobe, it’s a day-to-night outfit (or a few). In case you’re unfamiliar, a day-to-night outfit is one that can easily transition from the classroom or workplace to dinner, late-night parties, and more. Having a few of these versatile outfits ready to go ensures that you don’t have to go home and change during your lunch break (or those few spare minutes you have between plans). If you’re not sure how to transition an outfit from day to night—or need some outfit inspiration—keep reading. We’ll show you how to create your perfect transitional ‘fit with the wear-anywhere pieces from our Venture Daze collection.
Must-Have Items for Transitional Looks
The best day-to-night outfits feature versatile pieces that can be dressed up or down, depending on the situation. While your all-day outfit should reflect your personal style (that’s what fashion is all about!), here are a few options to keep in mind:
- Denim or joggers: Consider starting your OOTD with a pair of dark-wash jeans or shorts. Though denim is usually considered more casual, a darker wash elevates the classic piece so they can easily transition from day to night (plus—denim never goes out of style). If denim isn’t your vibe or you want a more laid-back day-to-night ‘fit, try slinky joggers. You can opt for a classic black or grey pair for a more subdued effect, or grab a brightly-hued pair for a bold look that’ll turn heads.
- A textured skirt: For those who prefer an airier look, skirts are the way to go—they can easily transition from casual settings (like the beach) to more dressy venues (restaurants and cafés). Give your look a summery flair with a crocheted mini, or try a patterned maxi for a more boho vibe.
- A statement shirt: Pair your wear-anywhere bottoms with a graphic tee or playful patterned shirt. A statement top commands attention, but the classic cut of a causal tee ensures your fit won’t look too formal for hangs with friends.
- An oversized jacket: Oversized jackets are both super on-trend and incredibly useful—you can tie it around your waist (or throw it over your shoulders) during warmer daytime weather, then pair it with your all-day outfit at night for added warmth and stylish flair. Try a distressed denim jacket for a casual look, or opt for a leather moto jacket for an edgier vibe.
- Wear-anywhere slides: When you’re planning to be out and about all day, you want to make sure that your footwear is both stylish and comfortable enough to take you wherever you plan to go—or end up. Look for something lightweight with a rubber outsole that can conquer everything from pavement to grass. Our pick? The All-Gender Venture Daze Slide. Made with recycled materials, this statement platform slide features a padded suede upper and lightweight sugarcane EVA outsole for effortless comfort all day and night. Plus, it comes in three colorways, so you can make a statement with your footwear no matter your personal style.
- Comfortable clogs: For those who prefer a closed-toe shoe, we suggest the All-Gender Venture Daze Clog. A reimagination of our classic Tasman slipper, this wear-anywhere clog features a grippy outsole with large tire treads for terrain-conquering traction. The padded suede upper, meanwhile, features our iconic box stitch and UGGbraid for a statement-making look perfect for festival days and hazy campfire nights.
- Playful accessories: When putting together your OOTD, don’t forget to add in some accessories—they’re what pull any look together. Express yourself with oversized sunnies, a fun hat, or playful jewelry that showcases your individuality. And don’t forget an oversized bag to stash your jacket in during the warmer daylight hours.
Styling Tips for Day-to-Night Outfits
Tip #1: Pick One Focal Point
To avoid making your look too busy, pick one item to be the focal point, then build the rest of your look from there. This statement piece could be anything from your favorite dress to a funky pair of pants—just make sure it’s something that makes you feel comfortable and cute so you can go from day to night feeling like your most confident self.
Tip #2: Look Into Layering
When building your all-day outfit, take the weather into consideration: It’s usually warmer during the day than it is at night. We recommend wearing pieces that can easily be layered, like t-shirts, cardigans, or vests. If you anticipate chilly temps during the evening, stash a cozy oversized jacket in your bag—you can throw it on as soon as temperatures begin to dip.
Tip #3: Mix Textures and Patterns
One of our favorite ways to create a statement outfit is by mixing bold textures, colors, and patterns. It adds visual interest and depth—and gives you an opportunity to showcase your creative side. For a harmonious look, make sure any patterns you pair feature the same colors, and break up patterned pieces with solid-colored accessories or clothing.
Tip #4: Opt For Comfortable Footwear
Comfortable footwear is a must for a great day-to-night look, but you don’t have to sacrifice form for function. Our Venture Daze collection is designed for all-day comfort and style, with thoughtful features like box stitching, UGGbraid detailing, and trendy color-blocked suede. Plus, they’re equipped with grippy rubber outsoles for durability and versatility, no matter where the day (or night) takes you.
Tip #5: Try Reversible Items
Taking pics during the day but don’t want to commit to the same outfit in the evening? Experiment with reversible pieces. You can wear them one day during the daytime, then pop into a bathroom and turn it inside out to rock a whole different look after hours—without having to stuff your bag full with a whole new ‘fit.
Tip #6: Make a Statement With Accessories
The best way to make your all-day outfit stand out is by accessorizing with bold pieces that showcase your unique sense of style. Hats, jewelry, bags, socks, and even scarves are all fair game—wear what makes you feel your best.
OOTD Inspiration for All-Day Wear
If you’re looking for the perfect all-day outfit for your summer adventures, here’s your inspo. A cute and comfy graphic tee paired with a beachy crochet skirt and chunky wear-anywhere slides is perfect for daytime, while an oversized jacket offers plenty of warmth when the sun goes down. Accessorize your ‘fit with a necklace, as seen here, or grab a pair of oversized sunnies to shield your eyes and add stylish flair to your laid-back look.
Look fresh all day and night with a streetwear-inspired ‘fit made for going with the flow. Oversized denim shorts serve as the foundation of this outfit, while a casual tee and graphic sweatshirt add visual interest without overpowering the look. Pair your outfit with versatile clogs (add socks for an even bolder look) and top it all off with a bucket hat for a stylish outfit that’ll have you feeling comfy all day.
If you need an outfit that can easily transition from early morning pilates to brunch with your besties (and beyond), joggers are your friend. Opt for a pair in a bold, vibrant hue and pair them with a coordinating bralette for a super-cool monochrome look. Complete your all-day fit with bright socks and chunky clogs, and grab a sweater over your shoulders in case you get chilly (you can throw it over your shoulders when you’re not wearing it for an effortlessly cool vibe).
Spontaneous summer days (and nights) call for footwear that can take you from the streets to the beach and beyond. Consider a pair of chunky slides in a neutral hue like brown for a more muted look, or opt for a vibrant shade for a more playful vibe.
Clogs are the perfect transitional shoe, offering comfort and coverage without sacrificing style. If you plan to be out on a chillier evening, these comfy kicks can also help keep your feet warm—though you can always pair them with socks for an extra-cozy vibe.
