For a night out, choose a leather or tailored jacket and dressier shoes that suit the venue.
Check the venue before choosing your outfit. The published night-out guide compares a hoodie and joggers with a leather jacket, knit, plaid skirt, tights and boots.

Common questions
Can I wear a hoodie on a night out?
A hoodie and joggers can read as too casual for bars, clubs or dinner, according to the published night-out guide. Its saved suggestions include replacing the hoodie with a black faux leather jacket and the joggers with tailored trousers. The right choice still depends on the venue: ATE evaluates the visible outfit and does not know where you are going.
Are sneakers okay for a night out?
Sometimes, depending on the venue and its dress code. The published guide’s hoodie-and-jogger example includes grey running sneakers, with a saved suggestion to try black heeled ankle boots. That is advice for the pictured outfit, not proof that every sneaker is unsuitable. Check the venue’s footwear rules before using either the example or its score to decide.
What can I wear on a night out besides a dress?
The published example pairs a black leather moto jacket and burgundy knit with a plaid mini skirt, black tights and knee boots. The same guide also suggests tailored trousers as an alternative to joggers. These give you skirt and trouser directions to consider without assuming you need a dress. Match the final combination to the setting and its dress code.
Which changes does the night-out guide actually suggest?
For the hoodie outfit, the saved suggestions are a black faux leather jacket, black heeled ankle boots and black tailored trousers in place of the hoodie, sneakers and joggers. They have not been combined into a newly scored after outfit here. The other published example is a separate leather-jacket and plaid-skirt look, so compare them as two existing outfits.
