If you watched the first few seasons of Keeping Up With the Kardashians or remember the early days of Brangelina, chances are going-out tops once made up a significant portion of your wardrobe. The sexy, slinky piece—most often worn with jeans and heels—was a fashion staple on the bar and club circuit in the 2000s.
Flash-forward to 2025 and going-out tops are still going strong—but much like our perspective on Brangelina, they have evolved. From bold statement pieces to understated basics, we’ve assembled a collection of cute going-out tops that won't break the bank. (Even better, a few of these picks are also on sale.) Find one you love, then start planning your next girls' night out.
This look is a literal twist on the going-out top. Designed in a sassy off-the-shoulder silhouette with a twist detail, this form-fitting top comes in nine colours, including four core neutrals and five limited-edition hues.
This tank top's straight neckline is a blank canvas that's perfect to let a statement necklace shine. Made from a stretch jersey fabric, it comes in nine colours, including this fiery red hue. You can score this top at half off right now!
This stylish asymmetrical top is a chic choice for hitting the social scene. The shimmery mesh fabric, draping details and slim fit show just the right amount of skin. This top also comes in solid cream, black and silver styles.
Timeless and sophisticated, this mock-neck tank made from Merino wool features extra length and side slits for for easy layering in the cold months. It comes in four neutral shades that can easily be dressed up or down.
An off-the-shoulder top is an easy way to elevate a basic pair of jeans. This Frank and Oak piece has a fold-over style, creating a band around your shoulders and bust for a fitted look. Made from a ribbed jersey knit, it's available in the rich espresso hue pictured above and in light grey.
This bodysuit has a moody floral print that’s made even edgier by corset seam details, lined cups and a front hook closure. It's an easy piece to dress up or down with a pair of jeans or a skirt. While we love this pattern for a night out, there are nine other styles to choose from, including polka dots and daintier floral options.
For an elegant take on the going out top, this peplum top hits all the right notes. Cut from a textured organza fabric, it has puff sleeves and a statement-making open back. Snag it for half off while it's still on sale!
Fitted and slightly cropped, you can wear this animal-print top with high-waisted jeans for a casual look. We love this neutral-toned zebra print, but there are 11 other styles available.
This sleek satin blouse can take you from the office to date night, so it's guaranteed to become a wardrobe staple. The relaxed fit is right on trend, whether you wear it tucked in or loose. Get it in this warm chocolate hue, or in one of three other neutral shades.
Wear this shiny leopard print tee on nights when you want to show your wild side. The fit is slightly loose yet flattering, and it's also available in metallic gold, silver and black.
We love this shimmery knit tank. Featuring a V-neck front and back, it's got a form-fitting silhouette and comes in pretty teal, gold and brown hues. Wear it with a blazer for a polished look, or lean into your off-duty style with a pair of jeans.
This long-sleeve bodysuit is made from a soft and comfy fabric that has a lot of stretch for a fitted silhouette. Dress it up with jewelry and a skirt, or pair it with jeans for a more laidback vibe. (You can even wear it with sweatpants if you're planning on lounging around). Get this versatile piece in black, blue or brown.
A collab between television personality Meredith Shaw and Canadian plus-size retailer Penn, this blouse has a romantic air thanks to its lace sleeves and rich burgundy hue. The tie-neck with subtle smocking creates a pretty ruffle effect, while the length allows you to wear it tucked or untucked.
Simple yet timeless, this silky satin tank can do double-duty, taking you from the office to a night out with the girls. We love that you can style this basic number in countless ways. Get it in brown or maroon for $35—these options are final sale—or in black for $50.
