Both Leeds and York are known throughout the UK for their fantastic nightlife. From cosy pubs to sophisticated bars, lively nightclubs and live sets from local musicians, there’s always somewhere great to go. But what should you wear?
One of the most common questions about Yorkshire nightlife is what kind of dress code you should stick to.
As a general rule of thumb, dress codes in Yorkshire are pretty laid back, but the women of Leeds and York are also fashion conscious, so you'll find an eclectic mix of outfits when you're enjoying a night out.
With that in mind, here are our pick of the best dresses for your next evening adventure:
Trend-led and Sophisticated
Tie front midi dress in mixed animal print
Animal print is one of this season's hottest trends, so if you're looking to show off your style credentials then this mixed animal print dress is the perfect choice. Leopard, zebra, cheetah: why choose one when you can have them all? The cut of this dress has been designed to skim your curves, whilst the frill detail at the hem adds a little extra excitement. Pair with heels for a leg lengthening effect, and add subtle, minimalist jewellery that won't overpower the print of your dress to finish the outfit off. This outfit would be the perfect choice for dinner dates, or drinks in sophisticated wine bars.
Short and Sweet
Silky wrap dress in Zebra print
If you're looking for something flirty, fun, and fabulous then a mini wrap dress is the perfect choice. The fuller skirt will skim over hips and emphasise your long and lean legs, whilst the tie waist fastening will enable you to cinch in your waist and create an enviable hourglass shape. Sticking to the age-old style rule that you should never showcase your legs and your cleavage at the same time, this dress still oozes glamour. The bold zebra print will help you to stand out from the crowd for all the right reasons, whilst the neutral colours of the dress mean you have more options to be bold with your accessories. Why not inject some colour with vibrant red or fuschia pink heels and a coordinating handbag? Alternatively, you can keep things classic and let your dress do all the talking with black or metallic accessories.
Little Black Dress
Bardot off shoulder dress in black
Every fashion-conscious Yorkshire woman should have at least one little black dress in her wardrobe: they're sleek and sophisticated, and a little black dress can be worn anywhere. With heels and layers of pearls you can channel your inner Audrey Hepburn for a high class, sophisticated look. With its ruched waist and figure-flattering Bardot neckline, if you're looking to add a new little black dress into your wardrobe, this dress is the perfect choice.
