6 Going-Out Pieces That Feel Outdated, and What We're Wearing Instead
As fashion editors, we regularly experiment with a variety of trends to uncover those key looks that work for our personal styles. As a result, our wardrobes are always evolving—including the "going-out" section in our closets. On that topic, we recently all drummed up a discussion during the holiday party season about the after-hours pieces we rely on to create effortless, fun, and chic party looks. The convo also shed light on some of the night-out pieces we don't wear as much anymore due to their somewhat outdated nature.
Naturally, we wanted to share our insights with you in case your going-out offering could use a refresh this season. So with all that in mind, keep scrolling to check out the six evening staples we're not wearing as much at the moment, along with the items we're opting for instead. Plus, shop each staple as well to perhaps amp up your night-out style. But remember, at the end of the day, you should always wear whatever you feel the most comfortable in—regardless of what's "in" or "out."
"Cold-shoulder tops are definitely a style I would pass on. What I wear instead for a night out? Structured tops with puffy sleeves and a square neckline like this one."—Kristen Nichols, Managing Editor"Super-high heels don't make for a fun night out, and I retired mine years ago because of it. These days, I'll still wear heels, but I stick to walkable ones that have a festive element (like this embellished Wandler pair)."—Allyson Payer, Senior Fashion Editor"While a night out used to mean statement tops, flashy heels, and all things out-there, in recent years I've been taking a more laid-back approach and instead opting for simpler pieces such as blazers, jeans, and strappy sandals."—Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour, Senior Market Editor"There was a time when bodycon skirts unquestionably held a place in my going out repertoire, but these days, I much prefer a more comfortable and modern silhouette. Long leather Bermuda shorts are my jam right now."—Judith Jones, Market Editor"There was a moment when off-the-shoulder tops were the first thing I reached for while getting ready for a night out, but the trend has definitely fizzled, and I've donated all of mine. Instead, I'm reaching for corset-inspired tops for a more timeless going-out look. Conveniently, they're also an emerging 2020 trend."—Anna LaPlaca, Associate Editor"I remember my going-out dresses from college all had metallic, glittery details—because how can one possibly leave the house after dark without some kind of shimmer?! Now that I'm older and wiser, I know that there are a lot of less-reflective options. I stand by leather for nights out, and I don't even bother with form-fitting silhouettes because it's not what I feel comfortable in."—Erin Fitzpatrick, Senior News Editor
If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
