When it comes to night life in Denver, there are so many unique and exciting places to explore — which also means there are countless outfit options. Lucky for you, we’re broken down the ultimate style guide for your boys night out in Denver.
Country Bar Style
From Grizzly Rose to Belles & Boots, the greater Denver area is home to a variety of options to tap into that western Americana aesthetic. If you and the boys are visitng one of these themed bars, then getting dressed should be easy: dress with the theme!
A country-style bar full of boot-shaped cups and line-dancing crowds is the best place to break in those cowboy boots. For bottoms, go with jeans, and make sure the bottom is wide enough to fit over those boots (cowboys don’t wear skinny jeans and neither should you). A pair of Wranglers are guaranteed to make you comfortable on the dance floor and last for the seasons.
Good denim pairs great with all kinds of shirts, but for your wild western night, a white tank top with a solid color button down is a great way to lean into the theme without looking like you went to a costume store.
Obviously, a cowboy hat would be the clear answer for final accessories, but if you don’t have one a baseball hat or nicely styled hair is perfect as well.
Dive Bar or Classy Pub
If line dancing and country music isn’t quite your style and you prefer a low-key evening in a pub, Bedlam Pub or one of Denver’s many other pubs or dive bars might be calling your name.
For a dimly lit eclectic interior like Bedlam’s, you can get away with dressing up a bit more. Go for a dark-colored pant, like black chinos, trousers or dark-wash jeans. For a bit of a classier night, look for knit polos or a textured button-up shirt (and try rolling the sleeves up to the elbows to make sure you don’t look like you’re headed to an important business meeting).

If you are ever struggling to pick out an outfit, lean towards more quality basic items like a white t-shirt. Then, you can spruce it up with simple jewelry, a cool leather jacket or your favorite hat. Shoes can be more casual like your favorite sneakers or a Chelsea boot if you’re hoping to look refined from head to toe.
Game Night At The Bar
If you’re looking for a higher energy social atmosphere on your boys night out, one of Denver’s many arcade bars could be the answer. Whether you’re bowling at Punch Bowl social or dominating darts at Flight Club, you’ll want to feel like yourself.
Wear whatever is most comfortable to you, like your favorite jeans, cargo pants or shorts. Pair these with a graphic tee from your collection (after all, there’s no shortage of places in Denver to find a unique, vintage graphic). This option not only adds personality to your outfit, but, paired with your favorite sneakers, it’s the easiest way to look put together while still feeling comfortable enough to show off your competitive side.
Wherever you choose to go on your night out in Denver, use these style tips to help yourself out of any future fashion crises. And remember: when in doubt, a nice fitting pair of straight jeans, a plain t-shirt and some sneakers or boots will have you looking put together for any occasion.
