Over 50 Outfit Ideas for Fall & Winter Evenings: Just Wear Black

When you go out for the evening, it’s a commonly held premise that black always fits into any occasion. So if you don’t know what the dress code is or you just can’t find anything in your closet that seems to be working out, just wear black!

A black dress is always appropriate and an all-black outfit works, too. You can find more about how to dress up your little black dress HERE.

Age doesn’t matter because black always looks chic. As part of my Fall/Winter Evening Series, this subject fills in the gaps as a fail-safe category. There are at least 50 ideas here to help you out and most likely I’ll be adding more in the future. So you’ll never have to wonder what to wear on your nights out!

Just Wear Black

7. A black maxi dress + black heeled ankle boots or cut-out booties. Add lots of gold:  layer a couple of necklaces; pile gold bangles on each wrist; wear a ring on each index finger; and don’t forget earrings!
