Back in the aughts, getting dressed for drinks or date night was fairly easy: you threw on a pair of jeans, some heels, and, of course, the fanciest shirt you could find. It was the days of the "going out top," a strappy, sequined number that just screamed 2006. And while we'd cleansed our closets of this style in recent years, replacing them with low-cut dresses and revealing crop tops [1], we're more than ready for this nighttime staple to make a comeback — especially after seeing Victoria Beckham rock one [2].
Ahead, you'll find 20 elevated tops that'll remind you of those hours you spent "in da club" — albeit with a 2015 update. From open-back to off-the-shoulder, shop till you drop, then pair 'em with flares [3] for your next social gathering.
