How to Wear Black Dresses

 A black dress is a must have in any ladies wardrobe because of the versatility it provides. This fashion staple looks good on most body types and goes with a vast array of accessories to give it a completely different look. What makes black dresses so special is the fact that they can go from day tonight with just a few changes.

Things you will need:



  • Jewelry

  • Shoe/boots

  • Shrug/bolero





  1. Consider your body type when you shop for a black dress before you make a selection. Avoid dresses that cling to your body when you make your selection.

  2. Choose a classic shape dress that looks good on your body type with clean-cut lines. Stay clear of baby doll dresses and dresses that have embellishments.

  3. Wear your black dress to the office as business attire. Add a white shirt or turtleneck under your black dress or add a blazer or a cardigan over the dress. Tall boots and opaque tights are also an option to try for the office environment, but the little black dress will look good with flats as well. Consider also adding a bright color jacket in pink, yellow or teal for a pop of color.

  4. Add some bling and a small clutch to your little black dress and stilettos, and you ready for a night out on the town. On a chilly night, add a shrug or bolero to keep you warm while looking good.

  5. Add tights to your black dress in a bright color if you are attending a party, or add a belt. It does not matter what the size or color you choose for the belt.

  6. Look for accessorize in either a color that matches the black dress, or choose a contrasting color. Use simple and stylish accessorize, and do not overdo it.

  7. Dare to be different and choose animal prints to spice up your outfit. Choose a zebra or leopard print belt, jewelry or jacket for a safari inspired look.

  8. Choose your deodorant wisely to avoid having streak of white marks on your dress.
