Our Tips For Wearing Your Black Dress

1. Keep your look bold and sassy by wearing all black accessories with your black dress. This trick will highlight your irresistible “bad-girl-for-a-night” side.
2. Add a simple — but highly effective — pop of color to your little black dress by adding a red handbag, bright red lips, or by flaunting red heels. Don’t like red? A metallic gold or silver pop of color works great too!
3. Want to make your legs look miles long? Try wearing nude shoes with your little black dress.
4. Create waist definition or create a splash of color by adding a belt to your little black dress. You can add a bright or metallic for contrast, or consider wearing a black belt with a black dress to accent your waist in a more subtle way.
5. Want a quick way to make any cocktail dress look younger and hipper? Add ankle boots. You can either go bare-legged or add solid or patterned tights to your ankle boots and little black dress combo.
6. Take a step to the sleek side with a simple dress, and wear it with minimal jewelry and accessories. Sleek hair is essential to accompany this sophisticated and elegant look.
7. Layer on long necklaces and add some tall boots to give your little black dress more of a boho chic vibe (while still looking cocktail party ready, of course).
8. Strategic cutouts? Glowing bare skin? Sleek updo? Take your little black dress to the next level by incorporating lots of bare skin into your cocktail dress look.
9. Let your accessories do the talking when you wear a statement necklace with a little black dress. If you wear a necklace this bold, be sure to keep other accessories to a minimum. This lets your daring necklace take center stage.
10. A cute, easy way to make your cocktail dress a little edgier is by adding a leather jacket. This is also a great way to incorporate another splash of color into your getup!
11. Though largely considered a summer fabric, there is something ultra-sexy about black lace. Create this vibe using head to toe fishnet tights and two-toned pumps.

This is only a short list of all of the fun things you can add to your style with a black dress. A staple for any girls closet, find a sexy, stylish, sophisticated little black dress on thedresslist.com today!
