If there was ever a classic wardrobe staple that every single woman owned, it would be the little black dress. The idea of a little black dress is that it is great for all occasions, that it is flattering to your shape and size, and that it also is timeless in the style stakes.
Whilst there are lots of things to love about the LBD, there is one thing that everyone can agree on. It isn’t always the most exciting of outfit choices.
Just because it is plain, that doesn’t mean that there are not things that you can do to try and bring this amazing dress to life. In fact, to help inspire you, we have put together the best ways that we think that you can accessorize your LBD and make sure that it is a stand out addition to your wardrobe.
Layer it up
Who says that you have to wear an LBD on its own? We sure didn’t! One of the best things about LBD is that they are the ideal candidate for a spot of layering. You might not think about pairing a dress with a shirt but believe us, this can create a really awesome look and bring the entire outfit to life. Plus, it is going to keep you warmer if the weather is a little cooler and no-one will recognize that it is a dress that you have worn countless times before.
Boost it with the right jewelry
One of the best ways to add a spot of style to your LBD is with the jewelry that you pick Colourful jewelry is amazing if you want to add, well, color to the outfit. However, you can keep things simple and go for more classic pieces that come with diamonds.
You should always see jewelry as an investment, which means that you can use it as a great excuse to treat yourself. However, you want to make sure that you are choosing a good quality piece. Not sure where to start? The 2 carat diamond rings here are sure to add some sparkle, or maybe you already have a few pieces you can try out lying around somewhere? Take your time to find the perfect piece and you won’t regret it.
Bring in your waist with a belt
If you have a slightly more flowing little black dress, then one way that you can change up how it looks and give it a touch more flair is with a belt. The idea of these belts is that they help to cinch in your waist, which will not only spruce up your entire outfit, but it will also mean that you look shapely and amazing too.
The trick with choosing a belt is to make it somewhat of a focal point of the outfit. Go for a bright color that will contrast against the dress. Even better, make sure that it matches your shoes/handbag as this will instantly lift your look and make you appear brighter than ever before!
As you can see, there are so many ways that you can boost your little black dress that you never have to worry about them seeming boring and basic again. Choose the right accessories and this classic outfit choice will soon be your go-to. Time and time again.
