There's no question about it: In 2021, the concept of "going out" is a foreign one -- at least, in the way the world once did. But now that vaccines are available to everyone, it's likely that you're itching to put a sartorial spark back into your wardrobe and add in some "post-pandemic" going out looks. 

By now, outdoor dining and al fresco get-togethers are nothing new. Summer gives you a virtually endless number of opportunities to showcase your latest closet additions -- including going out tops and other fashion pieces that were truly meant to be seen. 

Look, we get it: After spending month after month in your most comfortable staples, you're ready to get dressed like never before. But if you're not quite sure what types of going out tops you want to sport, we're here to help. Perhaps you're on the hunt for some stunning pieces to mix and match with your everyday pieces for an impromptu date night outfit. Or, maybe you're getting dressed to actually go out -- but going out is actually a small party at someone's home (hey, as long as it isn't yours!) -- in which case, feel free to skip the heels. Either way, there are plenty of cool options and going out fashion trends that are practically begging for a place in your collection, like the return of tube tops, '70s-inspired halter styles and sexy corsets.

Plus, check out face mask options to help protect against the Delta variant. See ET Style's top picks, including the best face masks for exercisefor kids and for double masking, along with vaccination card holderscleaning supplies and hand sanitizer.
