The outfit you pick to wear at a nightclub should standout from the rest of the crowd. When going to a casual nightlife club, pick outfits that are not too dressy. Keep the nightclub's dress code in mind. Dress codes at casual nightclubs are often less strict, compared to exclusive nightclubs.

Shoes

Pick the shoes you are going to wear to a casual nightlife club based on the activities you’re going to participate in. For women who like to dance, short-heel or flat-heel shoes will allow more movement on the dance floor. Men and women can wear casual tennis shoes, such as a pair of boat shoes. If you’re a woman who is going mingle in the club, go with high heels. For the man who is not going to dance, choose unpolished boots or shoes that do not have a pointed toe.

Accessories

Men and women can add pop to their casual nightlife club outfits with accessories. You can top off an outfit with a Fedora-style hat, which comes in men's and women’s styles with different colors. Limit your jewelry selections to costume or inexpensive pieces, such as watches, bracelets, rings and necklaces. Expensive jewelry can easily get lost in a crowded nightclub. Choose casual belts or suspenders that match with your outfit. For added flare, wear a belt buckle.
