15 Club Dresses & Bodycon Dresses for a Night Out

Planning a fun night out with your friends, but unsure what to wear? Or just looking for the perfect outfit for going clubbing? Nights out are always a blast, but clubs are different than regular bars. So if you’re looking for the perfect outfit for going clubbing, you’ve come to the right place.

My absolute favorite thing about going out is getting all dressed up with my friends, and when you go clubbing you can definitely go all out with your outfit.

So, if you have a super sequin cute dress that you have been dying to wear, but didn’t know where was appropriate to wear it, going to a club is the perfect opportunity!

Below, I’ll share some tips on what to wear for clubbing and some hot dresses for clubbing that are sure to impress.

First, what is fashionable clubbing attire?

A few years ago I would have told you that the only appropriate clubbing attire was a short bodycon dress, because that was what was trendy back then. However, things have started to change recently, and now you have so many more options than before.

For example, have you noticed that maxi dresses are coming back into style?

This has led many people to start wearing longer dresses while going out with their friends, therefore, making wearing maxi dresses at clubs more common. (We have a stunning silver example below!)

So, if you love a cute maxi dress, don’t worry because you can totally wear it out with your friends. And, for those of us who still love bodycon dresses, you can totally still wear those too. It’s all about the vibe that your dress gives off.

For example, when picking out your next go-to clubbing outfit think about wearing a classic all-black bodycon dress to give off nightime vibes. Or, you could wear a sparkly maxi dress to give off party vibes.

And, a new trend that I also love recently that has changed popular clubbing attire is the new retro and colorful fashion items that everyone seems to be wearing now.

A few years ago, I would have said you should stick to black or solid colors when going out, but now you pretty much can wear whatever color dress you like and can even wear dresses with super cool designs and patterns.

If this all sounds exciting to you, check out this list of 15 trendy, cute, and hot dresses for clubbing that you will die for.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you wear a maxi dress to a club?

Yes, as mentioned above, you can absolutely wear a maxi dress to a club. Just make sure the vibe of the dress is sultry and eye-catching — nothing overly floral or ruffly for a night out. It needs to read as nighttime-appropriate. If you’d wear it to a garden party, rethink it for a club.

What should you NOT wear to a club?

Don’t go too casual for a club. This is your time to go all out with your look! This means skip the flip flops, basic t-shirts, and boyfriend jeans. If you’d wear it to a backyard barbecue with your grandma present, it’s probably not right for a club.
