What to Wear to Fashion's Night Out 2012

While Fashion's Night Out certainly gives way to an evening of retail indulgence, that doesn't mean it's a walk in the park. Translation: between the party hopping and navigating crowds, it's as much a night of fabulous fashion as it is a test of one's strategic styling. In an effort to minimize wardrobe stress, we've already mapped out three easy-to-emulate ensembles that cover all the FNO bases. If you're feeling Fall's oxblood-red obsession like we are, you're the perfect candidate for our sophisticated schoolgirl outfit. Plus, how slick (and cozy) do those printed calf-hair loafers look? If you're a denim loyalist, try on a coated iteration, complete with edgy zipper pulls and a crisp white finish. Don't stop there, though. We've got a little lace, a little paisley, and a little ankle-boot adoration, too. There's no time like the present to brainstorm outfit ideas — Sept. 6 is but a stone's throw away, so keep clicking.
