Each week, our head stylist, Ayla Ochoa, shares the new arrivals at Lulus she can’t stop thinking about. Right now? Going-out tops are at the top of her list.

“Just because summer’s over doesn’t mean your plans are, too,” says Ayla. “From spontaneous happy hours and girls’ nights out to dinner dates and late-night cocktails, fall is full of reasons to get dressed up. The secret to the perfect fall night-out outfit? Statement tops, rich seasonal colors, and a little after-dark energy.”

Ahead, shop Ayla’s current going-out favorites before they inevitably become yours:

Giselle Black Striped Halter Bodysuit

“This one gives new meaning to jeans and a black top. Wear it to add a flirty edge to drinks with the girls,” Ayla says.

Finley Gold Satin Long Sleeve Top

“Satin and a romantic neckline bring just the right touch of glam for dinner dates and dressier plans,” she notes.

Darci Dark Brown Bustier Top

“The Darci Top delivers that rich, autumn-inspired look, with a little extra drama,” Ayla adds.

“Shades of burgundy and wine are everywhere this fall,” says Ayla. “This top is perfect for embracing the season’s moodier color palette.”

Tate Black Long Sleeve Scarf Top

“Looking for something effortlessly cool? This top is made for chic cocktails and downtown nights.”

Pro Tip: Style these fall going-out tops with tailored trousers, your favorite mini skirt, or dark-wash denim, then finish the look with statement earrings and heeled boots. Whether you’re headed to a casual night out, a fall date night, or a full-on girls’ night, these pieces prove that cooler weather only makes getting dressed more fun.

We want to see your fall going-out looks! Show us on Instagram or TikTok @lulus using #lovelulus for a chance to be featured and head to The Weekly Drop to shop more new arrivals!
