Wouldn’t we all want to have the best of both worlds? While it’s generally not a plausible option, it is doable in terms of clothes. How so? Well simply by choosing outfits can take you from day to night in style and elegance.

One problem we women face is office-appropriate clothes – I mean what do you do if you have a big dinner afterwards and little to no time to change outfits? You play smart. Meaning, you choose something that can be as wearable from 9 to 5 as it is during your nighttime outings. That said, we’ve noticed that some dresses work perfectly well in these situations, from wrap dresses to midi bodycon ones and so much more. As long as you steer clear from fluorescent styles and short and inappropriate ones, you’re safe.

To help you out, we’ve scoured a slew of must-have dresses that you can wear from work to your dinner party like a pro. To the Photo Gallery!
