Black dresses are must haves in women’s closets. These clothing pieces are very versatile and you can wear them with just about any accessories in different occasions. You can achieve different looks depending on how you wear your little black dress. Just like blue jeans, basic white tees, and pumps, black dresses are also classic pieces of women’s clothing.

If you want to take advantage of black dresses’ versatility, you still have to know several tips and fashion advice. Here are some very useful ones.

1. A black dress is very simple and elegant, which is why it is very nice to pair them with different accessories. For instance, a wide golden belt looks really nice when worn with your little black dress, but it will look too much on anything with patterns and different colors.

2. Jewellery is great when worn with a black dress. You can wear several one huge necklace or several light ones depending on the look that you want to achieve. Or you can wear chunky earrings and bracelets and no one will accuse you of going over the top because the black dress makes everything you wear looks elegant and understated.

3. You can also pair black dresses with different kinds of shoes and you will see how different they all look. For instance, wearing a pair of high brown boots with your black dress will give you a very casual and adventurous look. If you will go somewhere really formal, then just wear it with a pair of pumps and accessorize with jewelleries and a nice clutch bag. You can also wear the black dress with a pair of strappy high-heeled sandals on your date to look and feel sexy.

4. Summer is very hot and for most people, anything black is very uncomfortable. But for the little black dress, you can wear it even in this very hot season, as long as you pair it with colourful accessories like necklaces made of colourful beads.

5. If you want to achieve a very classic look like Audrey Hepburn’s looks in the movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s, choose a sleeveless black dress which is long and has a long slit in front. If you cannot find something like this, you can choose something which falls just below your knees but make sure that it is figure hugging. Wear a pair of classic black pumps with high heels and accessorize with a chandelier necklace. If you do not have a chandelier necklace, just wear a few strands of pearls and you will get the same result. And if you really want to look very sophisticated in a formal event, wear long black formal gloves. Finish the look with make up that looks natural and wear your hair up just like Audrey’s do in the movie.

But no matter how versatile black dresses are, you still have to be careful. Imagine pairing a black dress with a pair of chunky yellow or pink shoes. And wearing a black dress with sneakers is a fashion crime.
