Ah, the Little Black Dress. Through fashion’s ever-changing ruthless journey, the LBD has survived. Women all over the world swear by it and designers can’t seem to stop making it. A black dress suits any complexion. It is also truly versatile in the sense you can wear it to an office party or you can wear it for a night out with your friends. Oozing elegance and charm, the black dress can be paired with specific types of accessories to achieve certain desired looks.
List Of Accessories With Black Dress
1. Black Dress with Diamonds and Pearls for Accessories
Remember Audrey Hepburn’s black dress in ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’? She kept her accessories elegant. She wore a diamonds-studded tiara, with simple diamond earrings and a multi-stranded pearl necklace with a diamond pendant. This is an iconic look and many celebrities have been inspired by this look.
This look is ideally for a cocktail party or other such upscale event. Although Hepburn looked posh wearing a tiara, you may want to skip it and just stick to diamond earrings and a pearl or diamond necklace.

Just remember to keep your makeup to a bare minimum as heavy makeup will stick out like a sore thumb against all that black and coral.

This look is truly versatile. It works as a daytime look as well as an evening look, it’s great for office parties and to go out with friends. While attempting this look, keep white to a minimum, as too much white might make this look too jarring.
