THE ONE WARDROBE ESSENTIAL EVERY WOMAN NEEDS STYLED 3 DIFFERENT WAYS

Without further ado, I present the perfect LBD! I seriously could not love this dress anymore than I already do. It is super comfortable and the fit is impeccable. I also adore this neoprene type material because I find it helps hold everything in place and of course, it’s wrinkle free! I’m wearing an XS in this classic wardrobe staple.

My first of 3 tips for how to style a black dress is to pair it with an edgy black leather jacket like this one by LAMARQUE. I love how adding a simple jacket can give this whole look a new attitude. I’ve owned this jacket for a long time and I wear it on repeat but you would never know by looking at it, which just goes to show the high quality of this item. I’m wearing an XS in this fantastic investment piece.

If the designer version is out of your budget, I highly recommend this dupe by Evereve. It has the same quality and butter soft feel, but with a $150 price tag it is much more budget friendly. Whichever jacket you choose, you can never go wrong with adding a sexy leather jacket when you are styling a little black dress.

My next tip for how to style a black dress is to dress it down with a casual utility bomber jacket. The exact one I’m wearing is  sold out but the one I’m linking to is very similar and just as fabulous. I love the cropped design which is a huge trend right now, and the gorgeous shade of olive green. One thing is for sure, this jacket will take you beautifully into fall.

My final tip for how to style a black dress is to pair it with a killer pair of heels like these gold chain heels by Versace. I am dying over these heels ladies! I know they’re a splurge, which is why I’ve included a great luxe for less option below if these are out of your budget.

These industrial heels by Jeffery Campbell are a fantastic budget friendly option. They are the same luxe gold shade and while they don’t have as much detail to them, they have an understated elegance that should not be under estimated! You can’t go wrong with either option when you are styling a little black dress.

Another fun way to accessorize a LBD is to add a fun pop of color, like I did by pairing the Jodie bag by Bottega Veneta with my black dress. This bag was on FIRE when it first came out and basically sold out everywhere, but it’s now back in stock and ready to jump into your closet! Between the Versace heels and this fabulous bag, you will be perfectly poised for whatever elegant affair you’re headed off to next.
