How To Take An Outfit From Day To Evening

HuffPost Social Reading

Getting dressed for the day can be as easy as one, two, three, but when you have to quickly go from dressed down to dressed up, the equation gets a little trickier. When it comes to day to night dressing, sometimes simple additions will help you do the math. You can add a layering piece for the nine to five, or a pair of killer heels and a clutch for cocktail hour but whatever the case, it's definitely the little things that count.

For example, a pop of color is always a great way to punctuate your look. However for fall, many designers created metallic pieces that seem to be stealing the spotlight from the usual neons and jewel tones. While we're used to seeing metallics on clutches, belts, shoes and 80's attire, there's a fresh new way to wear the liquid metal, all day long and well into night.

Alexander Wang's high-rise metallic skinny pants, when paired with a simple knit or silky blouse, are surprisingly versatile and irresistibly chic. Whether you want to wear them toned down for day or amped up for evening, these rock and roll-inspired skinnies will make you shine all season long.
