Wonder Woman Looks to Take You From the Battlefield to the Club

As Game of Thrones fans know, nobody in the Seven Kingdoms can rival Daenerys Targaryen when it comes to her impressive collection of going-out tops. But after seeing Wonder Woman, I think I’ve finally found a squad who can give Dany and her wardrobe a run for their money: the Amazons of Themyscira, the all-female paradise where Wonder Woman spends her formative years. On Themyscira, there are no men, all the women are warrior goddesses, and the dress code is 24-7 fabulousness — all-gold bodysuits and leather corsets and snakeskin bustiers and sumptuous fur stoles — the perfect transitional wardrobe for a busy woman on a night out.

Unfortunately, 20 minutes into the movie, Wonder Woman has to leave the island and head to WWI-era Europe, where everyone is constantly trying to take her look from fab to drab by cloaking her in unflattering Victorian garb. Thankfully, even in the world of men and mortals, Wonder Woman’s style cannot be contained. She is, truly, always ready for the club.

See for yourself.

This expensive-looking snakeskin top with cutouts is the kind of special piece you'd wear to your own birthday party (and when you're the queen of the Amazons, it's like every day is your birthday). 
A studded black leather halter projects an air of toughness on those nights when your tolerance for cheesy pickup lines is at an all-time low.
An ornate metallic bustier paired with a fur stole makes for a showstopping New Year's Eve look (and a great way to avoid the coat-check line).

When you've been waiting for the perfect opportunity to wear that dress -- the super-flattering statement piece you spent a fortune on -- and you and the girls decide screw it, let's dress up and go dancing, you're definitely not going to let any annoying dudes get in the way of your good time.
A gold, one-shoulder top is the perfect special occasion basic for birthday parties and classy date nights.
Gladiator sandals and a mini-skirt can help transition your go-to city top into vacation mode.
Having matching Bachelorette party uniforms is a little gauche, but there's nothing wrong with sticking to a theme. 
When you're feeling low maintenance, statement jewelry gives any outfit an instant upgrade.
A bit of heavy weaponry in the back of your dress is a great way to ward off handsy dudes on the dancefloor.
An elegant black coat is the perfect piece of fancy outerwear for the winter wedding your friend insisted on holding outdoors.

When faced with a notoriously tough door, always make the men in your party stand behind you (and make sure the bouncer gets a look at your full ensemble).
See you suckers on the dancefloor.
