I love a good jazz club scene. Swanky, cool, and relaxed, it’s definitely the best environment for a really cool night out, especially if you love live music.
In NYC, there are plenty of jazz clubs. One of my favorite places is The Django. It is located under the Roxy Hotel, and it’s cave-like Paris-inspired feel makes this one the best spots to catch a jazz show.
Live jazz music is always a good choice if you’re looking for a romantic date idea or even just a chic setting to have drinks with friends. Jazz clubs offer an intimate setting and some of the best music around.
The only downside is that it can be tricky to know what to wear. Jazz clubs come in all kinds of vibes, and some with strict dress codes, so the answer to that question depends on the specific club you’re heading to.
Jazz Bar Outfits
Dressing for a jazz club or embracing a jazz aesthetic can be a fun and stylish experience. When in doubt about styling an outfit for a date night, you can’t go wrong with classic lbd.
The type of and size of venue also depends on the jazz club attire. If you’re going to a small intimate jazz club, you should wear smart casual attire.
Jazz concerts usually have a lot of people, and their dress code is typically more lenient, so casual wear is encouraged. Some jazz or blues clubs also encourage dance, so grab a pair of high heels to dance the night away.

Jumpsuit
Jumpsuits reign as the quintessential no-brainer outfit and are the perfect jazz club outfit for a date.
This whole look would look great finished with a ponytail and a red lip.
Fur Coat + Jumpsuit + Heels
In my opinion, you can’t go wrong with an all black outfit. A faux fur coat is another way to dress up a jumpsuit.
Layering some necklaces is the perfect way to highlight your neckline, especially with an open front jumpsuit.
Blazer + Jumpsuit + Heels
If you’re keen to try something a little different for the jazz club, a lace jumpsuit is a great option.
Requiring the same level of styling effort as a dress but with a very cool vibe, add a chic blazer and a pair of heels.
Fur Coat + Dress + Heels
Leopard print is having a major moment with the resurgence of the mob wife trend. If there’s a particular iteration of the trend we’re seeing everywhere, it‘s the leopard-print dress.
Proving itself to be incredibly versatile, this fierce print can go with literally anything. A faux fur coat and heels are the best way to finish the look.
Dress
If your personal style is about minimalism, a black dress is always a good idea. It is known for an effortless versatility that allows it to be styled in countless ways.
This all-around piece is one with guaranteed longevity in your wardrobe. Choose one that has a modern twist – a one shoulder number, or an open back addition.
For a colder day, layer a leather jacket or a wool coat.
Mini Dress + Heels
If you’re feeling a little more adventurous, then a vinyl or leather dress is the perfect outfit for a jazz club.
You don’t necessarily need to stick to neutral colors- a bright, bold color may the perfect addition to your going out look.
Fur Coat + Sequin Dress
Sequins are not just for the holidays. They are the perfect piece for all festive occasions – including a night out at the jazz bar.
There are plenty of different styles of sequin dresses – choose the right one for the music venue. A more intimate, upscale jazz concert calls for something dramatic and bold.
Add an extra layer of warmth with a fur coat. Don’t forget a pair of leather long gloves to complete the glamorous look.
Mini Dress
A slip satin dress looks great in its simplest form with minimal accessorizing and does the job for a night out at the jazz club.
Slip dresses are beloved for their utility and can be easily jazzed up (no pun intended) with statement earrings and shoes.
Maxi Dress
Embrace the timeless and classy elements of jazz while adding a modern look.
For a special occasion, consider a satin maxi dress.
Instead of the heavy satin most commonly found in bridesmaid dresses, the fabric is gradually become thinner and lightweight, making its overall vibe sultry as opposed to frumpy.
Finish off with statement accessories such as gold earrings to add a chic look.
