How to Wear a Black Dress

You already know how versatile the little black dress is. It can go from the office to a swanky party with style and panache. Changing the mood of a black dress is as easy as changing your accessories. Would you like to learn how to get mileage out of this versatile piece of clothing? Here’s how to wear a black dress:

Make it Casual

Who says a little black dress always has to be dressy? Dress it down by teaming it with a pair of black boots and black tights for a more casual look. You can even wear your black dress with a pair of slim pants so it functions as a long tunic. Add a chunky beaded necklace and some beaded bracelets and you have a casual, dress down look.

Go From Office to Evening

If you have an evening party to attend after work and you don’t have time to go home to change, wear your black dress to work. When office hours are over, put on a long silk coat or duster or wrap an evening shawl around your dress. Add some sparkly jewelry and open-toed heels and you have an elegant party look.

Wear it to a Church or Funeral

The little black dress is also appropriate for a more somber occasion. Add a pair of long gloves and a stylish black hat and you’re ready to attend church or a funeral.

Make it Conservative

Even the skimpiest little black dress can be worn to the office if you team it with a more conservative blazer. Another option is to wear a long turtleneck sweater over a black dress to give the illusion of a skirt and sweater. When you’re pressed on what to wear to the office, wear a black dress. You can’t go wrong.

Change Your Accessories

A black dress can give you dozens of looks just be changing the accessories. Experiment with scarves, belts, jewelry, watches, purses, hats, and gloves to create completely new looks. The possibilities are endless.

Once you know how to wear a black dress, you’ll never be at a loss on what to wear. It’s appropriate for almost any occasion and will make you look mysteriously elegant. Don’t underestimate its power!
