Choose the right material
Finding an outfit that can transition from day to night can be tricky; it needs to be suitable for the daylight hours, but still impactful enough so you feel dressed up for evening plans.
Choosing the right material is key for successful day-to-night dressing. The trick is to find a garment suitable for daytime, but made in a luxurious fabric to dial up the glam factor and segue effortlessly into night-time. A chiffon or silk, high-neck blouse strikes the right balance: modest enough for daytime duties, but effortlessly elegant when the sun goes down. Just add bold jewellery and swap flats for heels to take it into the night.

Go bold with tonal colour
For a seamless switch from desk to dinner, a head-to-toe tonal look is your secret weapon. Dressing in varying shades of the same rich hue – like this deep berry ensemble – adds instant polish, while still feeling cohesive and work-appropriate. The matching blazer, ruffled blouse and tailored trousers create a pulled-together silhouette that transitions effortlessly into the evening. Keep accessories in the same colour family for maximum impact, then refresh your mascara, slick on a stronger shade of lipstick and you're good to go.

Go high-low
Another way to go from day to night is to embrace the art of high-low dressing. This seemingly effortless way of pairing more dressy, formal items with relaxed, laid-back garments requires a bit of thought, but the results speak for themselves. Take a ruffled white blouse – elevated and dressy on its own – and balance it out with classic black jeans for a more grounded feel. Add a leather jacket for edge and structure, and you're ready for anything. When it comes to footwear, choose heeled boots for evening, or stick to sleek flats for a more relaxed finish.
