Make It A Night
Savor tasty riffs on Lousiana cuisine at Alligator Soul (114 Barnard St.) for dinner — try the Oysters a La Soul and the crawfish mac and cheese. Then, head to Peacock Lounge (37 Whitaker St.) for clubby confines and classic cocktails before or after the show.
Stylist’s Note: “The striped patterns on this set go in different directions to play with proportions. The result doesn’t look so matchy-matchy.”
The outfit: Top and pants, Custard Boutique; bag, Terra Cotta; shoes, The Edition Shop; earrings, Ansley Kornegay Designs
The swap: Earrings, Edgewater Drive, bag, Red Clover; shoes, Harper Boutique
Stylist’s Note: “We’ve got a standout situation! This bold pattern-on-pattern is definitely eye-catching, but don’t forget you can wear each piece separately.”

Make It A Night
Go a little bit country, a little bit rock ‘n’ roll at Husk (12 W. Oglethorpe Ave.), where country ham and bacon might mingle with ingredients like burnt honey and “bootleg Parmesan.” Whiskey to drink just fits: Edgar’s Proof & Provision (15 E. Liberty St.) has some 150 kinds to try.
Stylist’s Note: “To suit the country genre while keeping style points, try vintage pieces — they help add something unique and nostalgic.”
The Outfit: Dress, belt, boots, House of Strut; hat, Starland Strange and Bazaar; necklace, Ansley Kornegay Designs
The Swap: Necklace, Edgewater Drive
The Addition: Earrings, Edgewater Drive; clutch, Red Clover
Stylist’s Note: “For men, keep it cool and casual. Start with a base outfit that feels like you, then add in accessories for a fuss-free but fashion-forward look.”

Make It A Night
If you opt for the early show, head to Rancho Alegre (402 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.) afterward for Latin food, cocktails (try the caipirinha) and live Latin jazz music from 6:30–9:30 p.m. The Blushing Matador cocktail at a.Lure (309 W. Congress St.) in another apt pick.
