- Over-the-knee boots or bold, bright, high-heeled shoes?
You choose it, depending on your styling, of course.
- Pantyhose, textured or colored tights.
They are going to make your outfit a statement.
- Jackets all the way.
The style, the design, the material – these are all up to you.
- Hair accessories make a difference.
A scarf, a hair jewel, something that stands out will make your little black dress look even better.
- Vibrant jewelry vs. Silver/Gold jewelry
One does not exclude another, it is true. Yet, keep in mind the little black dress goes well with gold, vibrant jewelry. But, on the other hand, you can’t go wrong with silver and gold jewelry either.
Little black dress is, undoubtedly, a fashion icon. The way you choose it, you accessorize it, you wear it, you feel it – all these make the difference. Think of it as someone with a splendid personality, someone who has so many qualities, but still doesn’t want to stand out in a noisy, disturbing way. Maybe one of the most beautiful things about this type of dress is that it never ages. Not if you give it life through your own personal touch.
