Looking for a decent going out top? Look no further than Zara. It’s easy to throw on a sequin dress on New Year’s Eve (or any other night out, for that matter), but if you’re not really a dress person, putting together an outfit can feel like a little bit more work; work that’s potentially worth it, but work nonetheless. If you’re on the hunt for a decent going out top, you might not need to venture as far afield as you think. Zara has a number of insanely beautiful going out tops for the festive season and I’m sharing my favourites with you for outfit inspo, right here.

I must admit, I don’t own that many going out tops. I have way more dresses than I care to admit, but as I get a little bit older, I’m realising the appeal of wearing trousers to Christmas parties, nights out and swanky dinners. I don’t want to have to pull my dress down every two minutes, or worry about accidentally flashing everyone when I inevitably tuck my skirt into my knickers. So I’ve decided to opt for a more androgynous approach to going out fashion to avoid awkward wardrobe malfunctions and to maintain my comfort. Yep, I really am getting older!

But let me tell you, Zara’s going out tops are anything but dull. The going out top, once a staple at house parties, bars, and clubs in the 90s and noughties, has retained its timeless appeal. Crystal-embellished tank tops, tops with unexpected cut-outs, and sleek options like halter and strapless bustiers are some of the styles making a comeback, giving a much-needed update to the tired formula of sequin dresses and heels.

Zara, the fashion giant known for translating runway trends into accessible pieces, has a collection of going out tops for just about anyone this year. The brand is expert in capturing the essence of high-end fashion at an affordable price, which shines through in its collection of going out tops. From stylish blouses to statement-making camisoles, Zara offers a diverse range of options that cater to every taste and occasion.
