The little black dress is an item that many women have in their wardrobes if we don’t have more than one. It is something that we all look to for many different events, from going to the board room to going on a date to even going to a funeral. But how can you dress it up and make it really shine? Here are a few options:

A Bold Lip

Adding some red lipstick to an LBD is a great way to amp it up, but what about if you want to push it even more? More and more makeup lines are adding more unique and brighter colors to their collections. Aim for something that is still complimentary to the black, like a dark blue or a purple color to really set off your makeup.

Add a Scarf

Adding a great scarf to your LBD will make it look more casual than before. It is also a great tool if you are going somewhere in the late afternoon but aren’t sure if you will be cold, because you can transform the scarf into a wrap. Go for something that is lightweight and easy to wear but won’t detract from the beauty of your dress.

Stunning Heels

Your LBD was made to be worn with a great pair of heels, let’s not kid ourselves. Heels add a certain amount of pride to your ensemble and can even help you walk a little more confidently into a date or board meeting. Even more importantly, heels can change the way people see you, especially if you invest in a pair that is subtle but splendid.

Sunglasses

Is there anything chicer or alluring than a woman in an LBD with a great pair of sunglasses? It can completely change the way you are viewed by the rest of the world (and the way you view them as well). Just changing your sunglasses up can take your look from casual to formal and back again. It is also a great way to make your outfit look more expensive.

Booties are Beautiful

Have somewhere to go where you want to wear heels but don’t want to wear stilettos or something that is too formal? Booties are still a fashion go to for women who want to wear their LBD on daytime dates or just somewhere they need a little more structure. Booties help to keep you on your feet during times when you will be walking or standing quite a bit.

Almost all of us will put our LBD on before we reach for any other outfit in our wardrobe. However, they don’t always seem appropriate for all situations. That’s why you need to have a few accessories and resources to change up the style of your dress.
