How Fashion Girls Style Their Favorite Levi's For A Night Out

NYLON editors put their spin on the new spring styles.

For some, the perfect night out means a never-ending dance sesh under the sparkling light of a disco ball. For others, it’s a casual dinner with friends — sharing the week’s laughter (and gossip) over a hearty bowl of bolognese and a bottle of red. Regardless of what that “perfect” night looks like to you, it’s impossible to picture yourself enjoying the experience without zeroing in on what you’re wearing. And chances are, your outfit probably includes denim.

No matter where your nights take you, Levi's® has a look that meets the moment. Whether you’re more likely to reach for high-waisted jeans and a going-out top, or gravitate toward relaxed-fit jeans and lots of layers up top, the heritage brand is a timeless go-to for all style vibes — from classic jeans, to a fresh array of jackets, T-shirts, and structured blouses. Below, four NYLON editors share how they wear their Levi’s when they’re having nights out of their own. See how they style cool corsets made for dancing, western-inspired wear for cocktails with friends, and more.

“I'd be lying if I didn't say ‘a chill drink’ on a Saturday night usually dissolves into dancing at the club,” Peng says, noting her outfit needs to pull double-duty. A denim-on-denim look is a “simple and striking” option for both. Peng suggests layering a structured corset over a simple white tee to keep things relaxed, and finishing things off with a statement shoe.

Halabian takes a new approach to monochromatic dressing. “This outfit is put-together with unexpected, fun elements,” says Halabian of the color-blocked jeans and coordinating top. “My perfect night out always involves a fabulous restaurant, whether with friends or with my fiancé.” The vibe calls for versatility, and in this look, says Halabian, “I can feel ready to go wherever the night takes me!”

Kelly Reed, NYLON Senior Social Strategist

Reed’s eclectic style blends multiple aesthetics, from streetwear-inspired pieces to more romantic-leaning looks. “Sometimes, the easiest thing to throw on for a casual drink out with your girlfriends is an all-black, denim 'fit. A New Yorker's tuxedo, if you will,” says Reed, who paired high-waisted wide-leg jeans with a western-inspired top. “And since 2024 has proven to be the year of the Rodeo Girl, this Levi's look adds a little yeehaw to the occasion, perfect for anyone looking to channel the latest equestrian-girl style.” The final touches? Silver jewelry and a cowboy hat, of course.

For date night, I still like to feel comfortable while looking put-together, so an all-denim outfit with heels checks all my boxes,” Sanchez shares. A full chambray look, from relaxed jeans to a sherpa trucker jacket, is her go-to for a pizza or pasta dinner (her favorite). “I also love layering, especially in the winter,” she adds, noting she tends to pile on the pieces. Think: a western shirt over a long-sleeve top over a simple tank (“You never know what the heating situation will be!”). Sanchez’s love of vintage-inspired styles shows in her footwear: a classic pointed-toe pump ties the look together.

No matter where you’re headed on your next night out, find the ultimate look to carry you through in style on Levi’s.
