Here are six different ways to dress up a little black dress, so you stand out from the hundreds of other little black dress wearers.
A Cute Sweater is Always Better...
If you're going somewhere you know will have the AC cranked up, or are going to a party that is outdoors, a sweater is a necessity to pair with your black dress - a fancy one of course. I wore a black knitted sweater with gold buttons down the side, it's comfy and cozy yet still looks stylish. You could wear a coloured sweater also and possible coordinate your shoes with it. So many possibilities!
Coloured Tights, City Lights...
One trend that I really love this year is all the amazing patterned and coloured tights there are. Whether it's cute polka-dot tights, bold, bright blue tights or even edgy tights with rips in them, they are a perfect way to turn your black mini dress get-up into something a little more different and unique. I paired my dress with a pair of maroon tights (because I'm loving this colour right now) and wore black pumps. Still a simple, elegant look but has a bit of a 'pop' to it.
Let's Be Reckless With A Necklace...
I really love big and chunky necklaces, and I think wearing a striking piece of jewellery with a simple black dress is a great way to compliment your style. Also, because of the simplicity of the black dress, you can basically go as wild and crazy as you want with your jewellery and nothing will clash or look too busy. This is also the perfect opportunity to wear your hair up so everyone's attention will be drawn to that gorgeous necklace. I once again went with a maroon colour necklace which I just recently bought and I absolutely love - as well as put my hair up in a ponytail (which I don't do often, but this was a great time for me to change things up!)
No Need To Snarf With A Fresh New Scarf...
A scarf is not only useful for keeping you warm on a cold winter day. It's also a great accessory for your black dress. Just like I said about the necklaces, because you are wearing a solid, black dress, your scarf can have the most intricate patterns on it. This is your chance to go big here! I wore one of my favourite black and white checkered scarfs - the bold pattern stands out beautifully against the dress, yet still compliments the outfit nicely.
Boys Will Chase Her In That Blazer...
So I have a bit of an obsession with coloured blazers. If I could, I'd have the whole colour spectrum of blazers in my closest. Wearing a blazer with a dress is one way to turn a mini dress into a smart and sophisticated piece - a coloured blazer does all that and adds a bit of fun too! I paired my black dress with this teal blazer and accessorized with a silver necklace, because blue and silver look amazing together!
Be My Guest, Wear A Vest...
What else is better than dressing up your little black dress with a fur vest? (Faux, of course) I've always thought the faux fur vest looks incredible sophisticated and high-class worn to accessorize basically anything - jeans, a skirt and in this case, a little black dress. I also added a long chain necklace to the look as well as a bold red lip. This outfit will for sure make you stand out in a crowd, and all eyes will be on you the whole night.
