The classic black dress
A classic black dress is a must-have in every woman’s wardrobe. Exuding elegance, flawlessness, and simplicity, your black dress is a saviour when you can’t find anything to wear. It makes a perfect ensemble for any occasion. Regardless of your body’s posture or size, a black dress infuses personality in your every look. From designers, bloggers, supermodels, corporate professionals, and college-goers- everyone is crazy about a black suit.

But how should one accessorize a black dress? How can an otherwise simple black dress be transformed into an amazingly stunning ensemble?
To find out how, read below.
Focus on Neckline
The basic thumb rule to accessorize your black dress is to consider the neckline. Different necklines fit with different kinds of accessories. Therefore, your apparel’s neckline will play a crucial role in determining which accessories you can wear. For round necklines and strapless dresses, go for a short round gold necklace. Also, a string of pearls will do a fantastic job. For something more chic, you can go for a patterned choker. Further, to complement a V-neckline, wear a statement necklace. A long pendant necklace or locket pairs beautifully with V-necklines. However, for halter necklines, make earrings a focal point and avoid wearing a necklace.
Deck up the Wrist
Wearing a chunky bracelet will add a dose of style to your pretty black outfit. However, it is worth considering the type of event you are going to attend. If you are heading for a cocktail party, wear simple bracelets. One sporting a thin profile studded with gemstones or a dainty pearl of strings will work well.
Moreover, for night outs or dinner parties don’t be afraid to flaunt a statement bracelet. Layered bangles, chic bracelets or cuffs also work well for such events. Be sure that your bracelet follows the theme and pulls off a cohesive look with the rest of your accessories.
Oomph with your Shoes
Black is versatile; therefore, it makes it super easy to pair it with a variety of footwear. To amp up your black dress, and highlight your punky side, step into a pair of Converse shoes. This will add fun to your look.
Want to ooze a sophisticated elegance? Opt for a pair of animal-print heels. This will add a classy grace to your black outfit and will enable you to stand out from the crowd.
Carry a Bright Bag
To add more texture to your black look, carry a bright coloured bag or clutch. From simple to high-fashion, you can find a variety of bags to complement your black dress. For a chic appeal, go for a sparkly handbag with bright jewel tones. If you want to keep it simple, then go for a classic nude tote bag.
Follow these tips to transform your black dress look into a glamorous. These tips are sure to create a perfect look for any occasion. However, when choosing accessories, remember the type of event you are getting ready for.

Well I swear by all the points mentioned by you! I am dying to go out, haven’t stepped outside since 20 March.
I agree with the accessories and dress pairing. The pearls always go well with black dress, they look elegant. I never tried out choker, would definitely give it a try.
Hope dressing-up times come back soon enough.
I think everyone should possess a black dress with some classic accessories. A black dress goes perfectly with any piece of jewellery in any occasion. If you have the right choice of accessories and a black dress, you can create any kinda look from formal to casual.
Loved your post! LBT is my favourite go-to whenever I am confused about what to wear. Eagerly waiting for parties and gatherings to begin!
I have two to three black dresses that are favourites. Other than the long earrings and good shoes, I mostly do not wear too much of accessories. But I do admire people who accessorise themselves so well and look amazing. As much as I love the wrist accessories, its just not me.
Black is always in vogue and something I love a lot! The dress and the accessories shown go along really well with each other. Great look!
