29 Cool Nordstrom Dresses, Shoes, and Bags That Are Perfect for a Night Out

As the sun sets and the night comes alive, people everywhere are itching to go out on the town. From a romantic date night to drinks with your besties, there's no telling where the night will take you. With the start of summer, there has been a restless, exciting energy, and everyone seems to be at their most social and ready to mingle. While I'm thrilled to bop around town, I've noticed that I'm in serious need of some cool night-out looks. As a fashion person, I love to be prepared for all occasions, so I took to Nordstrom's robust online selection to tackle this problem and was pleasantly surprised. Ahead, I've selected the best pieces I stumbled upon to help you craft chic nighttime looks.
Are you in need of a new LBD? Perhaps a new pair of heels or a shimmery handbag would make an impact on your nighttime repertoire. Well, you've come to the right place. You can expect a handpicked selection of dresses, shoes, and handbags perfect for taking on the night. Keep scrolling to get one step closer to the going-out wardrobe of your dreams.

The shimmery thread adds a little dose of something special to this gown.
If you have an outdoor cocktail hour this summer, this breathable cotton-blend dress would be a perfect option for the occasion.
Shop Shoes
A classic pair of stiletto heels for those of you who dare to don the ultra-tall, chic style.
Leopard print is having a big moment. Pair these with an all-black dress for the most impact.
