Cold weather, daylight wasting time, the busy Holiday Season; these are mere hiccups in the life of a club hopper.

Even if you don’t qualify as an official ‘hopper,’ nothing wrong with getting out and letting loose on occasion.

As with any night out, proper attire is mandatory. To get your evening started, here’s the best of what to wear to the club.

Neiman Marcus

Shoes for every mood

My favorite fashion trend of the past 5 years, hands down, is a pair of killer boots. I don’t try and explain it, it is what it is; women look hot in leather boots. And any time you’re unsure of what to wear to the club, hot is good. Neiman Marcus has pages and pages of designer boots to select from, a lot of steals in the sale category.

Go with the flow

Trendy in a tunic

Stylishly casual, with an ever-so-slight hint of “I could care less” will get you into most clubs, waiting list or not. Look for a trendy store that can hook you up with all sorts of club-ready togs, and save you some money along the way. This Tie-Dyed Lace Tunic won’t cost you a fortune; about the same as a drink nowadays.

Leather Coats ETC

Make an entrance

Yeah, it can get a little hot in the club, particularly after several hours of mosh pit time. But hey, you gotta make an entrance, right? When you do, make it leather from Leather Coats ETC As you might have guessed, leather is what they do; and they do a lot of it. Personally, I’ve always favored the class of a double breasted jacket and this one is workin’ big time.

Teen Scene

Cool attitude

I say if you can, why not? Toss the Tie-Dye shirt on top of these black stretch pants, and maybe grab a pair of those big ‘ol leather boots and it’s go time. If you’d prefer the destructed or faded look instead, a store with a big selection will get you hooked up too. And you thought it’d be tough figuring out what to wear to the club.

Teen scene

It’s frightening to think about, but our teenage daughters have club options too; damn! Tearing it up, and looking good doing it, is like child’s play. Hip clothes for equally hip teenage girls is what they do; and they do it well.

Not quite work wear

Cool silk slacks

Guys, if you haven’t had the pleasure of meandering, or in this case dancing and partying until the proverbial cows come home, in a pair of quality silk pants it’s time to remedy that situation right now. These will leave you a world of options on what to wear to the club, shirt and coat-wise. Though, I wouldn’t wait too long; when I checked, prices on great club looks were right on target.
