Exhibit A: The Printed Blouse

Yes, Emily's printed asymmetrical top may be reminiscent of the OTT versions of the early 2000s, but there's no denying that it looks cool. Why? The top's boho vibe is toned down thanks to sleek black jeans and super-trendy white boots.

Exhibit B: The Corset

The corset was one of the biggest street style trends of the year, so it’s not surprising to see Emily take it for a spin on a night out. The print may be a throwback, but the laced-up style is ultra modern.

Exhibit C: The Sheer Blouse

Sure, Emily’s sheer top may be split open, but the simplicity of this look keeps it from being reminiscent of that awkward see-through sparkly top with the random slit that you had back in the day. If you're going to go sheer, we say stick to tops with sleeves.

Exhibit D: The Off-the-Shoulder Top

Can we even call off-the-shoulder a trend anymore? The ubiquity of this style likely means it's here to stay. Of all the going-out tops on this list, you won’t regret this choice when you look back on your girls’ night out Insta pics in 10 years.

Exhibit E: The Lacy Long Sleeve

These tops may leave little to the imagination but isn’t that what going out tops are for? The long-sleeve keeps it feminine and chic. And this should be obvious by now: wear your evening tops with denim for an effortless(ish) look.
