Deemed as one of the most important staples in any woman’s wardrobe, the little black dress continues to be both iconic and classic. It’s the workhorse of all workhorses. You can wear it in a corporate setting and after-dinner drinks to a fun night out or a black-tie event.
Mermaid style, short dress, long night gowns, halter or midi dresses — there are countless styles you could add to your wardrobe. But even if you only have a select few, there are ways in which you can breathe new life to your little black dresses that’s been in your closet for years.
Skull
Since we’re only a few weeks away from Halloween, wearing a skull jewelry is very timely. Be it a necklace with a mix of wood beads and skull pendants or a pair of skull earrings, these pieces are edgy and will make for an interesting mix to your get-up.
Colorful Jewelry
Give your little black dress a dash of sass with bright tones. If you’re a fan of neon, this color will certainly jazz up your look. If it’s a bit too much for you, opt for more tried-and-true ones like soft pastels or rich colored gemstones.
Sweaters, Shrugs, and Leather Jackets
Since it’s the fall season, this is a great time to add a shrug or sweater to your black dresses. They keep you warm and can certainly provide a casual and cozy feel. Leather jackets, on the other hand, will give you that chic biker look.
Animal Prints
Show your playful side with animal prints. If you still have that old zebra print scarf, then take it out of your closet and work your magic with a variety of scarf styles. You can also wear a couple of tiger print bangle bracelets or any animal-inspired earrings. If you’re big on jackets, pair your black sleeveless dress with a nice leopard print jacket.
Go Nude
Go nude! Well, not literally. Nude colors never fail to disappoint, especially when paired with your favorite LBD. A pair of nude shoes and metallic jewelry will add appeal to your look without going over the top. It also makes for an elegant statement on date nights, fun night outs, and after-dinner drinks.
Cinch with a belt
Add shape and interest to your LBD with a colorful belt. This will blend well with any black fabric. For this fall season, throw in a maroon belt for that autumnal feel or a brown one for a simple, put-together look.
The little black dress is incredibly versatile and can make you feel like a different woman when paired with a variety of clothes and accessories. Go ahead and give your black dresses an extra flair with our tips above. The LBD always looks tasteful and classy — a staple that definitely has no match.
