Whether you enjoy a glass of Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, a cocktail, or prefer soft drinks, going to a bar to catch up with friends is always a good time. As bars reopen with new guidelines, let’s discuss what outfits you might choose for your next visit.
What to Wear to a Bar
Here are some things to consider before heading to a bar:
Do You Need Layers?
Usually, bars are warm enough that you don’t need extra layers. However, if you’re drinking outside or if the bar has fewer people inside, you might want to bring a jacket, cardigan, or wrap.
Dresses with Sleeves
Dresses with sleeves are great for both warm and chilly weather. They protect you from sunburn if you’re outside and you won’t need an extra layer if you’re inside.
Shoes: Flats or Heels?
Choose based on your comfort. If you expect to stand a lot or walk on grass, opt for block heels or wedges rather than thin heels.
Jeans
When in doubt, go with jeans. They are versatile and can be dressed up with a nice top. Make sure to check the bar’s dress code if it’s a fancy place.
Top Focus
Since you may be sitting at a table, focus on wearing a stylish top and maybe some statement jewelry.
The Best Bar Outfits
Tops
Pick a bright color, stylish print, or go for a rock-chic vibe for your top. You can pair these with either shorts or pants depending on the weather.
Jackets and Cardigans
Take an outer layer like a blazer, cardigan, or light jacket, especially if you plan to sit outside.
Pants and Jeans
Jeans are always a safe bet. Depending on the venue, you can dress them casually with sneakers or more formally with heels.
Dresses and Skirts
Besides jeans and pants, you can also dress up with a nice dress or skirt for a more polished look.
Shoes
Anything goes! Choose flats, heels, or sneakers depending on your comfort and how long you plan to be on your feet.
Accessories
Even simple outfits can be elevated with the right accessories like oversized earrings or a stylish clutch.
