Shift Gear: 5 Wardrobe Necessities That Can Go From Day To Night

If there’s one thing that busy people on the move know how to do, it’s how to get more versatility out of their wardrobe. These people are experts at making what they put on in the morning look like it was tailor made for a night out.

It’s not always easy to transform a daytime look into a whole new outfit for a night out on the town with friends. If you are someone who doesn't have time to completely change your look between work and play, below are 5 wardrobe necessities that can go from day to night.

1. Chambray shirt
   What started out as a chambray shirt with skinny jeans, birkenstocks and a mini backpack (the perfect, simple outfit for stepping out and running some daytime errands) can be turned into a nighttime ready ensemble by adding a necklace, swapping out the jeans for some soft black shorts, and slipping on some heels.
2. Track shorts
   Pair track shorts with a trendy button up for an easy, fashionable daytime look. To transform this look for nighttime, simply switch out the button up for a flirty tank top, add some chunky heels, and voila, the track shorts have become a trendy nighttime outfit.
3. Jeans and t-shirt
   During the day, the classic jeans and t-shirt combination can look casual by simply adding some flat sandals, a backpack and some bangles – easy, comfortable and not overdressed. Come nighttime, keep the jeans and t-shirt, but add a clutch and some heels to instantly transform the outfit into something that is appropriate for heading to the bar.
4. The maxi dress
   The maxi dress is a must have for the day because it looks both casual and elegant. It can be worn with sandals and a mini leather backpack while you run your errands. At night, swap out the backpack for a body bag, the sandals for some heels, and add a few accent pieces of jewellery and you are ready to hit the town.
5. Cotton tank top
   A cotton tank top with skinny jeans, flats and an understated beaded necklace is perfect for running day errands on the weekend. At night, put on some bold heels and add some track pants for a fun, trendy style.

Knowing how to transition a look from day to night is not always easy. You want to make sure to choose items that are capable of looking both chic and casual. If you are planning your upcoming Spring/Summer wardrobe and want to make your life as convenient as possible, without sacrificing your style, keep the above day to night transition pieces in mind.
