What Exactly Are “Going Out Clothes”?

By Fashion 5 years ago

A little wisdom on what to wear on a night out

In my first year, I was completely unaware of the fact that there was such a thing as “going out clothes.”  Fortunately, I’ve come a long way since then, somehow landing myself the position of Fashion Editor for this very newspaper, and becoming the owner of an extensive collection of tube tops.
I realised that “going out clothes” were incredibly different from what I thought they were, and I had this realisation a little too late as I stood in 601 during Clan Warfare in first year, decked out in a wooly red jumper, jeans, and my Blundstones.  If I could go back and give first year me in Clan Warfare a hug, I would.
So, from third year me to you, here are my two cents on what to where while on a night out in St Andrews, if you are just as clueless as first year me was.
Basic Colours
Buying a few staple items in neutral colours are a good idea for a night out especially if you are rushing from one activity to the next, such as sports training straight to the pub.  Owning a few tops or short skirts in denim, black, white, or rust-coloured corduroy are easy to mix and match, and always look good on a whim.

Tube Tops
A personal favourite of mine, I only learned to love them as a 2nd year.  Most are quite affordable, come in a variety of colours, styles and prints, and are comfortable in the sweaty atmosphere that is Club 601.  They can also be matched with either skirts or trousers, and dressed up or down.  If tube tops aren’t your thing, there are so many different styles of “going out” tops, whether they are flowy silk camisoles or bardot tops that show off your shoulders.

Bottoms that fit just right
Try on different types of bottoms, whether it’s a skirt or different styles of trousers, such as flares, wide-legged jeans, or skinny jeans.  Know what fits you, and what type of cuts look best on your body shape.  In the long run, doing a little research and trying on different things is a blessing in disguise, because you’ll always know what looks best on you.  Being short, I always go for shorts above the knees or dark-coloured flares that make my legs look longer.

A Little Bit of Sparkle
It is always a good idea to keep a bit of what I call “back-up glitter” in your wardrobe, or a statement piece.  For me, this comes in the form of a sequinned tube top and literal tubes of glitter, if I’m feeling extra snazzy. Sequins go well with neutral colours such as black or white, and can really add that extra bit of pizzaz on a night out.

The Bigger the Hoop…
I received my first pair of hoops during freshers from one of my dearest friends who I stayed in halls with.  Those hoops have now become part of a collection of at least 5 pairs of hoops.  They’re my go-to earrings on a night out, and I like to switch them up between gold, silver, or different shapes.

White Trainers
I know, white trainers seem a bit dangerous to wear on a night out. There is a high risk factor of them getting ruined in a split second, whether it’s because of spilled wine, getting stepped on, or (gasp) vomit.  But, there is always a fun backstory that goes into how your white trainers got ruined after a night out, and in my opinion, it gives them a bit of added character for your next night out.  I opt for a pair of classic Adidas Stan Smiths or platform Supergas to boogie the night away.

A Trusty Jacket
Because this is St Andrews, no night out is complete without sensible outerwear you will inevitably discard when entering the Union and shove under a table or in the staircase.  I opt for a thick denim jacket that goes with everything, and on colder nights, a puffy red coat.  Just make sure whatever jacket you pick, you won’t be super devastated if you lose it.

So there you have it – the wisdom of third year me that first year me wishes she had.  The idea of “going out clothes” no longer scares me, and hopefully my two cents will give you some inspiration for your next night out in the Bubble.

    Flirt.com is a scam
    Hi all, got scammed by this website. Saw that there were a couple of post informing about this but just wanted to give more details
    Paid for the three day offer and with the confirmation of the subscription, got two mails from hornycontacts.com and loveaholics.com asking me to confirm my email. Didn’t pay attention and deleted them.
    I immediately canceled the subscription in flirt.com without any issue and on the last day it changed to a standard membership so since it was bs site, cancelled the account as well.
    So I was happy and watching a movie when I got an sms from my card provider telling me that I got a 71.78 euros charge from fry frtlsp.com. Never heard of them, so I called my card provider and cancelled my card and will request the return of the money as well.
    Then I realized that maybe these two websites also by some miracle signed me up to a paid subscription… so I logged in… had to recover the passwords because they were not the one I used in flirt.com… and surprise, loveaholics.com did signed me up for a paid subscription without me being aware (pretty sure that somewhere during the signing process in flirt there was something checked and didn’t pay attention.). So I had to cancel subscription and account in these two other sites.
    So, sorry for the long post but in summary…. do not use flirt.com at all!!!
    Yes, FLIRT.COM it is a scamming website. It sign you on multiple websites like askme4date.com . It bombard you with emails that you receive messages, and you need to pay to see them. After you pay you see the messages. All messages are from BOTS. No real person.
    It’s subscribing to automatic renewal and it’s hard to cancel renewal. They push you to a complicated scheme. I’m not even sure the renewal canceling works. After

  50. Brands that manufacture chronometer watches
    Understanding COSC Validation and Its Importance in Watchmaking
    COSC Certification and its Stringent Criteria
    Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres, or the Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres, is the authorized Swiss testing agency that certifies the precision and accuracy of timepieces. COSC validation is a sign of superior craftsmanship and trustworthiness in timekeeping. Not all watch brands follow COSC certification, such as Hublot, which instead sticks to its proprietary demanding criteria with movements like the UNICO calibre, reaching similar precision.

    The Art of Precision Timekeeping
    The core system of a mechanized watch involves the spring, which supplies energy as it loosens. This mechanism, however, can be prone to environmental factors that may influence its accuracy. COSC-accredited mechanisms undergo rigorous testing—over fifteen days in various conditions (5 positions, 3 temperatures)—to ensure their durability and dependability. The tests evaluate:

    Typical daily rate accuracy between -4 and +6 secs.
    Mean variation, peak variation levels, and impacts of thermal variations.
    Why COSC Accreditation Is Important
    For timepiece fans and connoisseurs, a COSC-validated watch isn’t just a piece of technology but a proof to enduring quality and precision. It represents a watch that:

    Provides exceptional dependability and accuracy.
    Ensures assurance of quality across the complete construction of the timepiece.
    Is apt to maintain its value more efficiently, making it a wise investment.
    Well-known Timepiece Manufacturers
    Several renowned manufacturers prioritize COSC accreditation for their timepieces, including Rolex, Omega, Breitling, and Longines, among others. Longines, for instance, presents collections like the Archive and Spirit, which highlight COSC-validated movements equipped with innovative substances like silicon equilibrium suspensions to enhance durability and performance.

    Historical Context and the Development of Timepieces
    The idea of the chronometer originates back to the need for exact timekeeping for navigational at sea, highlighted by John Harrison’s work in the 18th century. Since the formal foundation of Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres in 1973, the certification has become a yardstick for evaluating the accuracy of high-end timepieces, continuing a tradition of excellence in watchmaking.

    Conclusion
    Owning a COSC-accredited timepiece is more than an visual selection; it’s a commitment to excellence and precision. For those valuing accuracy above all, the COSC validation provides peace of thoughts, guaranteeing that each validated timepiece will operate reliably under various circumstances. Whether for individual contentment or as an investment, COSC-accredited timepieces distinguish themselves in the world of horology, maintaining on a tradition of precise timekeeping.
