The Outer Layer

Levi's Baez Denim Trucker Jacket:  Denim jackets are coming back as if they never left (mostly because they never really did). Adding a denim layer to the top of a darker outfit is a great way to add some pop to an outfit and give yourself an element of ruggedness while you're out. $99*

Faherty Brand Quilted Belmar Snap Shirt: If you are expecting the temps to dip a bit on your night out, this quilted shirt is great for keeping a sense of formality while being able to stay warm.  $151*

Scotch and Soda Printed Bomber Jacket: Looking to make a statement during your night out at the bars or the club? Then this is a great option for you. While the print is bold, it's not super bright, giving it a more subdued feel than some other outlandish bombers. $198* 


The Top

Saturdays NYC Slash T-Shirt: Sometimes it pays to be simple. This simplistic graphic T from Saturdays NYC is great for a more casual look when layered with a more detailed or bolder outer layer. $48*

Club Monaco Tonal Strip Popover: With a band collar and 4 button henley-esque design this white and off-white striped loose-fitting throw-over shirt is great for the warmer nights, and will offer a little bit of chest exposure, should you feel the need to show off your recent gains. $120*

Uniqlo Broadcloth Printed Short Sleeve Shirt: For someone who loves prints, but doesn't want to get too flashy, this short sleeve button-down adds a little bit of pop under a top layer, or makes a simple statement when worn on its own. $20*


The Bottom

DSTLD Skinny-Slim Selvedge Chinos: Selvedge Chinos? Yep. These bad ass pants are jet black, fit like a glove and are built to last. And at this price point, it's hard to find a better deal for chinos of this quality. A daily wear for those who love black, and a perfect black accent to a closet of more versatile means. $95*

Bonobos Stretch Washed Chinos: If you are in need of stretch, but still want the slim look, then these washed chinos are for you. The maroon plays well against black and denim, and can also be used in a blue-schemed outfit when needed. $98*

Jachs NY Bowie Chinos: Most likely, these chinos will need some minor tailoring to fit like you really want them to, but once you do, they will be your favorite pants. With a little stretch and some super-dark dye, these black chinos are for those who want a more straight leg off the peg, but still want a well-built chino they can move in. $89*


The Feet

Frye Brett Low Leather Sneaker: While a leather sneaker isn't super versatile in terms of use, it does work for a night out. Made with the famed leather craftsmanship from Frye, and a rubber bumper around the sole to protect the shoe, these have some street style with an err of upscale class. $198*

P.F. Flyers Sandlot Hi-Tops: An American classic from one of the most iconic coming-of-age baseball themed movies of all time, these P.F. Flyers Hi-tops are old school cool. And while they won't really make you run faster and jump higher, they will make you look good for a price that can't be beat. $60*

Air Jordan 1 Retro High's: If canvas shoes aren't your thing, then these high top OG Jordans might be. It's hard to argue with the look of the shoe that started a movement, and a brand. These Air Jordans are clean, classic, and will definitely get noticed on the street. Even though they aren't original release Jordan 1's they will still look good, and cost you a lot less. $145*


Accessories

HappySocks Palm Leaves Socks: Socks are a great canvas to shake things up. Adding a pop of color, is a great way to break up a predominantly black outfit.  $24*

Adidas NMD Black 5-panel Hat: Sometimes your hair just isn't doing what you want it to. It happens to the best of us. For this reason, having a few hats on hand that can work with different color schemes is critical.
