Club wear: Bling is in when it comes to club wear. You need to look hot, sexy yet classy. Sophie picked out two interesting outfits that would look absolutely smashing for a night out. An off shoulder purple number that has an interesting drape, also purple is the colour for this season, and she picked a Grey figure hugging number with sequin details on the shoulder- Very Hot. Sophie's pointer for a club wear is that if you wish to just hang around the bar with your drink, an off shoulder is your best pick but since she loves to dance, she went ahead with the grey one after all you don't want to spend you evening pulling up your dress. Team it with black footwear and you're ready to bounce.
