As we move into fall, the need for day to night outfits seems to increase dramatically. Maybe its because of busier class days, or because there are so many things to do in the evenings. Whatever the reason, here are three looks that will get you from casual classes to fun outings fast. 

Leather jacket + jeans into leather jacket + skirt

This outfit is perfect for class and going out to dinner with friends. The red leather jacket is a great choice for fall and simple booties are an amazing investment piece. If you want to tone down the look for a laid back class, you can always stick with jeans and the white t-shirt. Or if you wanted to go for a snappier look for a night out, substitute a flirty skirt for the jeans.

A simple striped shirt can transform into something chic with the right jacket, some black pumps, and a statement red accessory. If you know you don’t have a ton of time, dark wash jeans are a happy medium to bridge the day and night looks.

The key to making this look work is in the fabric. You have to make sure your black dress is a casual knit fabric and not something too formal. If the dress has too much of a semi-formal vibe it loses the day factor and jumps straight to the night category. Not a fan of the cardigan? Try a denim shirt and a long pendant necklace instead.

It doesn’t take a ton of effort to make this a fun dress to go out in. Just take off the extra layer and put on some attention grabbing accessories. Finish the look with a cute purse and some heels.
