From trying on outfits and touching up makeup to blasting music while sipping on something sparkling, getting ready with friends is arguably the most fun part of the night. That’s why we’ve been skipping the main event in favor of girls’ night in. But that doesn’t mean we won’t get all dressed up—quite the opposite, in fact.
Our editors (and friends) showed us how it’s done with a little help from Saks, whose selection of brands is always top-notch, with everyday ready-to-wear pieces, luxury special-occasion looks, and everything in between. Each editor styled a chic spring look perfect for a dinner or cocktail party that will have you skipping the reservation and instead texting the group chat, “Drinks at mine?”
When asked about their perfect girls’ night in, editors Eliza Huber, Ana Escalante, Yusra Siddiqui, and Jasmine Fox-Suliaman all agreed on a few nonnegotiables: good food, great conversation, and of course, really great outfits. Keep scrolling to see what each of them styled from Saks for a fun and incredibly stylish night with friends.
“I’m always on the lookout for cool tops that require little to no effort to throw on with other wardrobe items, so when I saw this multi-way option from Toteme at Saks, I jumped at the chance to play around with it. For this occasion, I styled the strap around my neck, but you can also wear the strap around your shoulders. It’s super understated and simple but also eye-catching. A night-in look for me is always going to be a bit tamer than one I’d wear out, so I threw on the top with some Citizens of Humanity Ayla Jeans (cuffed once) and Ferragamo patent-leather square-toed flats. And to go with it, I grabbed a matching black Staud bag for all my essentials. It’s durable and practical because of how much it fits, but because it’s patent leather, it’s more evening-appropriate than something made of suede, canvas, or pebbled leather. Black is definitely my comfort color, especially at night, so this look is right up my alley.” — Eliza Huber, Editor
