It’s important to change up your look so your dress doesn’t become boring. If you have the perfect little black dress, the key is to accessorize it properly. Yes of course, since the 1920s fringes have been in and out of trend but during the last decade it has constantly been in style.
Trust us when we say your little black dress and leather blazer deserve to wed in styling matrimony. These leather Everlane heels add a pop of color to contrast with the simple black midi dress. Because the heels are only partially stocked, here are similar onesin a burgundy color. For days when the wind is blowing a little colder, I’ll be popping a black-and-white striped sweater over the dress. The sweater pictured above is a Calvin Klein sweater from my closet, so here’s an incredibly cute option from GAP with a turtleneck. I’ve styled the dress six ways for both summer and fall weather.
LBD with a headband
We love how the belt has been worn over the coat and dress to highlight the figure. This outfit has been worn with tights to keep warm from the winter breeze. The overall black has been neutralized with contrasting shades of brown and grey with the overcoat and scarf. This sparkly little black dress is exactly what you need for your New Year’s Eve. The fur pumps are complementing the fancy outfit and are fully up-to-date with the current trend. Add a pop of colour with a red handbag or keep it neutral with a nude clutch.
It's an impeccable style for a bolder moment and is sure to make your bridal party feel like a million bucks. There are also specific wedding venues where you cannot wear a black dress unless you are the unconventional bride. You don’t want to wear a black dress to a beach wedding or tropical destination affair.

Wear this outfit for a visit to your farmhouse or to your next Halloween party. This mini dress is giving us major inspiration to go for a safari experience. If you are a safari lover, you should definitely go for this look while exploring all those safari areas. This off-white dress with fringes over the waistline is a classic ensemble. Nothing can be better than a floral dress with a thigh split dress on a summer event. But this time, let’s spice up the dress with some fringes.
If you are pregnant, invest in a beautiful, bump-hugging black dress. Stretchy material fabrics can later be used post-partum even after the weight loss. During pregnancy, it will make for a great party outfit that you can wear to formal occasions. The black pencil heels look super hot; however, if you wish to go for comfortable footwear, you may wear flat pumps instead. Since the outfit is all black, we love the use of a leopard print handbag that seems to be taking all the attention here. Another great alternative is carrying a bold coloured handbag in colours like red, pink or even a neon shade.
That Friday Feeling…Caftans + Cocktails
Add in layers to your dress with denim or leather jackets for an edgy look. I styled the dress with a fitted blazer and some closed-toe heels. I finished it off with some strappy white slides and a cow-print baguette bag to give the very monochromatic outfit a little dimension. By changing my shoes and bag, I have already created a different vibe that is more daytime appropriate than the first one.
Simply put, a black dress outfit involves a simple LBD and a pair of shoes. Additional layering and accessorizing are completely optional but are highly encouraged. I kept this Halloween costume pretty simple by purchasing a skeleton bodysuit to wear under my little black dress, and some skeleton thigh-high socks paired with my black ankle boots. Another way to update your black dress is to add a colorful shrug or blazer. You can see Komal Pandey pulling off this black tight dress with a pink blazer.
For a very stylish layered outfit, you can get very creative by layering a black turtleneck sweater dress over black leather cropped pants. To turn this outfit into a more casual one, you can pair the pieces with a pair of low top converse. This is almost like the textbook way of styling a black bodycon mini dress. It works equally well for this particular turtleneck one and others like crew neck and mock neck ones. To achieve this look, you can simply pair the dress with black suede knee high boots. This is the power of two simple pieces that work flawlessly together.
Add an oversized scarf and chunky jewelry to inject a pop of color into your outfit. Long line necklaces are a great choice for elongating your body, and yellow and orange are both set to be popular accent colours for 2017. Want to really make a statement and stand out from the crowd? Channel you inner A-lister and team your dress with a neck-lengthening up ‘do and plenty of gold and faux-diamond embellished bling for a look that is truly red carpet worthy. Look to the recent Oscars for the ultimate style inspiration. E July 29th, 2021 Agreed – this didn’t really help me envision black dress occasions/styling/etc.
