5 Ways To Wear Your Little Black Dress (LBD)

Slip On Your Little Black Dress & Conquer The World With Just A Few Tricks!

The little black dress… It’s your best friend in your time of need. It's a blank piece of art waiting for your signature style to make a statement. It’s a staple in your wardrobe. It's timeless and everyone should have more than just one. No matter the texture or length, the LBD is your most trusted confidant that takes you from interviews to parties and everything else in between. While you might think that the monochromatic drape is sometimes boring, that can all be changed with 5 tips on how to wear your LBD. With a few tweaks, you’ll be able to re-work your frock into new ways of fearless and fabulous!

1.Slip on a statement shoe

While the dress may be the beat on repeat, the finishing touches can change everything. Step up your game with a really hot pair of shoes. Whether it’s a sky-high wedge, classic pump, metallic sandal or over the knee boot, you can show off your signature style with the pep that’s in your step. Or switch it up with a lace up military boot, designer sneaker or a ballet flat, your shoe game will explain to the world that you really don’t take yourself too seriously.

2.Pile it on!

Take that LBD and make what’s old new again. Throw on an oversized slouchy sweater to make this somewhat sophisticated dress into a more downtown casual look. Layering is all the rage so why not even pop on your crisp white button down underneath (yes! I said "underneath"!) to give the LBD a totally new look. Wrap up this look with a fur vest or get real crazy and throw on a denim shirt half buttoned and tied up!

3.Get your bling on…

I always say, that even in sweats, as long as you have jewels on, you look like a million bucks. This rule applies across the board. While the LBD can speak for itself, throw on that statement necklace, stack of killer bangles or outrageous pair of earrings that clash with just about every other outfit. The sparkle and weight of accessories can spice up your look from day to night and quickly take you from NYC to Paris. Ooh La La!

4.Leather lace up

Who says leather is just for biker chicks? Throw on a moto jacket and let the “it” pieces elevate that LBD from glamour girl to badass in 2 seconds! The leather jacket is probably one of the best fashion investments you’ll ever make! It quickly transforms your look and will make them (all of them!) turn their heads. Make sure to paint your pout with the brightest red possible to complete the look.

5.Belt it

Cinch that waist and add a pop of color with a belt. Use an extra wide leather waist cincher (pictured above) or a metallic chain belt from Miss Coco herself. Using a belt will break-up that black and create a flattering new look you never thought possible. A belt can create an illusion of a 2 piece outfit or it may just show off those curves that you have been working so hard on creating all summer.
