10 Tips to Feel Confident and Comfortable on a Night Out in LA ✨
Whether you’re hitting a rooftop bar, dancing at a hidden lounge, or grabbing cocktails by the beach — confidence starts way before you step out. Here are 10 tips to help you look good, feel good, and own the night, LA style. 💃🌴
1. Match the vibe, but keep it you 🎯
Before you get dressed, do a quick scroll through the spot’s Instagram or tagged pics. Every LA place has its own vibe — some are chill-girl casual, others are full glam. Use that as your guide, but still make sure your outfit feels like you. The goal: fit in without blending in. 💁♀️
2. Express yourself through your clothes 💋
Your outfit is your mood board — so show your edge! Mini skort? High boots? Baggy jeans with a crop top? Whatever says “this is me,” wear it proudly. Confidence is louder than any brand label. 🔥
If you love an easy, flirty look, try this open-back crop top (no cleavage, just classy & confident). It’s one of those pieces that shows a little skin without trying too hard.
3. Dress for how your body feels that day 💆♀️
We all have days where we feel bloated or just “off.” It happens. Don’t fight it — dress for comfort and confidence. Loose where you need it, fitted where you want it. You’ll shine more when you’re not fussing with your outfit. ✨
4. Keep your shoes walkable 👢👟
Heels are cute, but LA nights can be unpredictable. If it’s dinner and done, rock the stilettos. 🍸 But if bar-hopping’s on the plan, pick comfy heels, boots, or sneakers that still slay without killing your feet. Thank yourself later. 🙌
One of my go-tos are these black heeled knee-high boots — they’re chic, walkable, and go with almost any night-out outfit.
5. Accessorize — there’s no such thing as too much 💎✨
Stack those rings. Layer those necklaces. Throw on your hoops. Jewelry brings the energy. Don’t overthink it — just layer those bitches and shine like the main character you are. 💫
6. Ditch the big tote 👜🚫
You don’t need your whole apartment in your purse. Keep it cute and compact — a mini shoulder bag for your phone, gloss, keys, and ID. Light, effortless, and totally it-girl. 💁♀️
7. Your hair is your best accessory 💇♀️🌟
Your hair can change your entire vibe. Rock your curls, go sleek and straight, or add some edge with space buns or braids. 👑
And no — they’re not just for festivals. Play, experiment, own it.
8. Smell good & stay fresh 🌹🧴
Nothing beats feeling clean and smelling amazing. Shave (you never know… 😉), moisturize, and wear a scent that makes you feel irresistible. Confidence starts in the details. 💦
9. Fresh breath = confidence 💨🦷
Please. Brush. Floss. Rinse. A whitening strip while you’re getting ready is the ultimate pregame. A glowing smile and minty-fresh breath? Instant charm upgrade. 😁💋
10. Affirmations for my social anxiety baddies 💭✨
If your heart starts racing before going out, pause, breathe, and remind yourself:
💫 I deserve to take up space.
💫 I’m fun to be around.
💫 I look good, and I belong here.
Say it in the mirror, play your hype song, and walk out like you own the night. 🪩💖
