Step 1
Select classic trousers in a rich brown or black and pair it with a cashmere tank top or cardigan set or a long silk blouse with a classy animal print and brown boots. Add a little flair with long gold chains and bangle bracelets.
-
Step 2
Make a black velvet or wool cocktail dress work for a nice, but casual, dinner date by pairing it with a cropped herringbone blazer or shrunken cardigan. Or, wear a long sweater open over it to change the look. Go for knee-high boots or flats instead of heels if you plan to be walking around a lot.

Step 3
Pick a flowered summer dress in a conservative cut and make it appropriate for the evening by adding a long strand of pearls, a solid crocheted shawl or a neutral-colored wrapped sweater and pumps or sandals.
-
Step 4
Select a top in a jewel tone to offset a dark skirt or pair of pants. This is a great way to distinguish yourself in a classy way without going out on a limb with your taste.

Step 5
Understand that well-cut jeans can work for evening when paired with a velvet or linen blazer and silk T-shirt or blouse.
