The famed strapless top is necessary for the summer season. From tube tops to blouses that just happen to be strapless, we’ve been keeping our eye out for the best way to style one from day to night. In the summertime, your days just feel longer with the sun setting later, giving us all more time to do activities during the day and have even more fun at night. Even if you’re working in the office, we’ve got some foolproof ways to style a strapless top in a transitional way.
We’re talking about layering, texture, and boldness. A strapless top can be the centerpiece that gets an outfit built around it. We love the versatility of a strapless top which is why styling this piece is so exciting. Whether you have a fancy dinner after work or a party to attend after running errands, we’ve got you covered on how to transition your look from day to night.
Add A Blazer
In times of doubt throw on a blazer. Even if your top is sequined, opting for a blazer will add a put-together feeling to your outfit. For the day, try a pair of jeans and loafers for overall comfort. You can add your accessories such as large hoop earrings and a dainty necklace. Layer your lightweight blazer over your top for the night and trade your shoes in for a pair of pumps. This is one of the easiest transitional day to night outfits.
Layer Over A Button Down
If the weather permits, try layering a button-down underneath your strapless top for added dimension and texture to your outfit. For the day just add a pair of jeans or long shorts along with loafers. This would work best for an office look or a brunch with the girls. At night, trade your shorts for a long pleated skirt for even more texture. Add a leather mini bag and a pair of heeled booties for a 180-degree turnaround or day-to-night outfit.
Go Monochrome
Sometimes the best thing to do when going from night to day is to just stick with the same base; in this case a monochromatic look. Have your strapless top match your bottoms whether it’s a skirt or pants. During the day for comfort try a pair of flats or fashionable sneakers that can go well with your outfit. Add a leather tote bag in a complementary color to your outfit base. For the night, just switch out your flats for a pair of kitten heels. Be sure to accessorize with maximalist earrings, a necklace, and a few rings.
Make It Glam
Start off with a black strapless top during the day with a pair of jorts. Then pair your best sneakers with a slouchy leather bag. If it’s not hot out try out a trend we’ve been seeing on our Instagram feeds: a baseball cap with a bandana layered underneath. For your night look, switch out your bottoms for a pair of trousers–add a clutch carry-all with a pair of large hoop earrings. If you want to add extra glam throw on a few layered necklaces and stacks of rings on one hand. An open toe sandal is ideal for completing your look.
