Is This Too Much for a Little Bar in Jersey?

The unofficial holiday before Thanksgiving, Black-Out Wednesday, is a high stakes holiday. It’s the time to have fun, reunite with old flames and show off how beautiful you’re looking this holiday season. The outfit needs to be chill enough to give hometown, but make you feel confident enough to talk to people you haven’t seen in years.

VALLEY has carefully curated a list of pieces you can throw together to look your best and feel your best.

Thanksgiving Eve Mood Board

Going out in your hometown is a balancing act: you want to look laid back and chill, while being the best looking one in the bar. The vibes this winter are simple: bows, black, red, leather and low rise. Avoid crazy patterns or bright colors. As long as you include at least one of those elements you’ll be —at the very least— on trend.

All about the boots

If you live in a city or in a place with a decent bar scene, a heeled boot or platform boot is a subtle way to elevate your look.

Simple tanks and body suits

Skims is the one stop shop for simple and flattering tops and body suits. They’re basic, but basic is never not in. The Skims lift contour top is the perfect top for an effortlessly cool and sexy look. VALLEY loves Skims because they read as a simple-dimple, but because of the material you’ll look amazing; the girls will be girling and the body will be bodying.

Off the shoulder tops

Off the shoulder looks have been very trendy this season, and make for the perfect going out top. Not only is the cut flattering on everyone, but you’ll also be warm waiting in line or on a roof top because of the long sleeves. The Free People ones come in so many different colors, all perfect for the winter. They can be styled all kinds of ways and worn beyond a night out.

Thick corsets

If you’re looking for something that shows a little skin but is still a substantial top, these are perfect for you. The entire winter collection from ZARA is killing it this year, here are some of VALLEY’s favorite pieces.

Serve face

Wearing something subdued or on the plain side is always a safe option. Instead focus on your makeup and hair. This is an opportunity to highlight your best qualities and make yourself stand out, not your outfit. Siren eye looks or full glam paired with a slick back has been all over VALLEY’s Pinterest lately.
