The party season is in full swing. No idea what to wear to the upcoming bash? Count on party-ever-ready chic LBDs (little black dresses) to get you all glammed up for the festivities.
The little black dress is fitting for just about any occasion.
The minimal it is in design and styling, the more room you have to go all out with accessorizing.
Inject the latest trends such as statement necklaces, bangles and rings into the blank canvas and you’ll satisfy your inner party fashionista in not time. Pop on your favorite party-rocking embellished shoe or clutch or both and yours will be a look of glam chic.
Those eyeing for something more than just a basic LBD, look for dresses that come with an extra oomph by way of detailing or an accent. A black dress with subtle lace detailing is perfect for the demure feminine types.
A skater style black dress will no doubt appeal to many due to the figure flattering cut, but those with a youthful spirit will find it an apt choice.
For more LBDs to inspire your party look and how to style it up, scroll below, as always:
♥ cutout collar dress – Chicwish
Give a nod to the retro-inspired cut in this LBD that is spruced up further with the presence of cutout collar and cuffs. Keep the shoes muted in a nude shade that is complementary to your skin tone. Play it safe with subtly embellished clutch. Studded white framed sunnies are optional.
Sporty Chic
♥ neoprene overlay dress – Marc By Marc Jacobs
For the sporty gals, look for LBDs such as the one above. The neoprene paneling introduces a textural interest that transforms this almost-basic black dress. The exposed zipper at the back appears to be a nod to the year’s zipper trend seen not on just accessories but clothes as well.
Finish with a leather cap and a pair of white kitty-faced flats.
Polka Pop
♥ little black dress – Mad Lola
Another nod to the past, with this clean and mean fuss-free LBD. If you’ve been completely obsessed retro style dresses, this should be in your closet. The party-popping shoe of choice comes in red and white polka dots. Synchronize your toe nails with the single strap heel by painting them in red.
Next, proceed to paint the town red as the new year dawns.
Bow & Ruffles
♥ little black dress – Zara
Never underestimate the presence of a ruffled hem and a bow-embellished waistline in a little black dress. They are party-appropriate and look, an electric blue single strap shoe to finish, how effortlessly chic!
Goth Punk Grunge Thingy
♥ black tank dress – Sheinside
For fashion-obsessed sisters who must look dark and mysterious upon entering the designated party ground, opt for a tank style dress with an asymmetrical hemline. Don’t bother with bling bling if you want all eyes on your studded single strap wedges.
Carry your faith in a dainty cross necklace and chuck on a black hat, if you must. A pop of crimson red on your lips to maximize the aura of darkness.
Lace Intricate
♥ black lace dress – Jones + Jones
Intricate lace, romantic open back, sweetheart neckline, sharp pleated skirt all equate into a party-appropriate LBD. Not only that, the voluminous skirt design promises a night of dancing in swing-y skirt. A definite-must party dress for any lass that can dance.
Elegant Sheen
♥ elegant high waist little black dress – Mixmoss
Although this LBD looks rather tame, its high waist styling and subtle light-reflecting sheen makes it the perfect dress for the minimalistic fashionista. A chunky statement necklace and a shiny arm candy elevate the elegance of the dress while a peek-a-boo wrap-style shoe brings some added visual interest to the whole look.
The bold red pout is a must to seal this classic look with a bang.
Basic Chic
♥ sleeveless black dress – Seventeen Origins
Simplicity is the underlying theme of an effective LBD. The slight gather at the waistline of this sleeveless number lends a dose or charm and the A-line skirt is perfect for twirling. Yes, twirling is obligatory this party season.
The bag selection for this look amps up an old school vibe to this pretty basic yet ultimately chic look. Tie a blue ribbon in your hair and there, you have it, an effortless party look for the laid-back modern maiden.
