Tonight, leave the beau at home. Or if you’re single, leave the idea of a beau at home. There is nothing better than launching into the weekend rolling deep with your best girl pack, sans the shackles of the patriarchy and the bros. It’s time to get in sync, it’s time to vibe, and it’s time to hang with your gal pals with a swipe of red lipstick and high dose of estrogen. You are woman, let them hear you roar. The coolest groups have women in them, whether that means the Spice Girls, your book club, the cast of Bridesmaids, or Taylor Swift’s endless #squad tree. So why not hang out with a femme fatale crew of your own? And, while you’re at it, dress for the occasion with some Instagram-worthy looks? There are plenty of sartorial options that come with ladies’ night. Maybe it’s a spa type of evening—so pick up some plush towels, underwear briefs, and nail polish remover and kick back with a glass of wine. Hell, turn on The Sweetest Thing and watch Christina Applegate and Cameron Diaz sing a NSFW song in a Chinese restaurant. Or perhaps your crowd wants to get rowdy? No worries. Head to the balcony, throw on a cozy, sporty tunic and fun socks, and toast to “living, laughing, and learning” or “having it all” with your friends. Carpe diem!
And if you suddenly feel restless indoors? Take the party outside. Just remember to “dress with skimp”—as in, throw on those slinky slip dresses, sky-high cuissardes, and plush fur coats and proceed to skip the line to a bar, club, or wherever your heart desires. More of a pants gal? There are hip-hugging metallic flares for you, too. Want to get a little silly on your night on the town? Keep it casual in a pair of high-octane neon sweats and a trippy patterned polo. But no matter what you wear, once your whirlwind night is over, you’ll never feel better heading home with your best female friends on your arm—and a stellar outfit to match.
