If you live in New York, try for a moment to remember the last time you had a "normal" sleep schedule. Nothing coming to mind? Same here. Which is why those day-to-night looks of lore just don’t always mesh with the NYC lifestyle. Who hasn't found herself throwing on an outfit in the PM, wearing it to whatever she's doing for the night, and then making some small modifications the next morning to carry on with her day-long walk of shame? In the city that never sleeps, it's the night-to-day looks that really make sense. Whether it be dark shades or comfy layers, here are a few of our picks to make the best out of your nocturnal style.![]()
You had a long night, you have work in 20 minutes, and getting those last couple minutes of sleep are more crucial to your well-being than breaking out the hair products. Beanie, meet head. This sporty little DKNY number would look great with the sweats you are definitely gonna opt for when you finally talk yourself out of bed.

Cool and laid-back at night = edgy and high fashion during the day. Menswear-inspired oxfords, like these Robert Clergerie Essie Oxford, can carry you anywhere you need to go, including the office after a long night out.![]()
If styled correctly, backpacks can be appropriate for basically any situation. Tote around a morning-after survival kit (a toothbrush, aspirin, the will to go on, etc.) and you’ll be prepped in style. This one from Moschino is big enough to hold all your stuff, but the Barbie-inspired print makes it super-cute. ![]()
Throw an oversized sweater over your party dress to bring the look from 100 to 0 real quick. This Opening Ceremony Felted Double Zip Crewneck Sweater in marble green would turn a black mini dress from Meatpacking to Soho in the blink of an eye. ![]()
Keep a pair of sunnies in your bag until you wake up with your formerly-perfect smoky eye smudged all over your face. The darker the lenses, the more people will think you slept more than two hours last night. These Sun Buddies Type 03 Sunglasses are as black as the night sky you live and operate under, perfect for your incognito daytime outings.
