Swirlster Picks Little Black Dresses For You
From night outs to lunch dates, these little black dresses are what you need to make a stylish entry.
1. VERO MODA Women's A-Line Dress
A gorgeous black dress should make you feel comfortable and confident. Lucky for you all, this slip dress does just that. Minimal yet elegant, this dress can be worked around however you like it. We can surely see this as your next dinner date outfit with bae for sure!
Styling Dos
Since this is a delicate slip dress, pair this with delicate bespoke jewellery and a strappy pair of sandals and you're good to go.
Styling Don'ts
The dress has a beautiful ruffle neck so avoid wearing a statement necklace as that will hide the beauty of the dress.
2. Marks & Spencer Synthetic Shift Dress
Mix the beauty of a power suit and a dress and voila! There you have it - a chic a dress that will make all your work wear attires look boring and the perfect day to night outfit too.
Styling Dos
The dress has a double-breasted blazer collar that has a plunging neckline. Wear a long chain necklace to accentuate the neckline or even wear it with a sheer turtle-neck top underneath for something more edgy.
Styling Don'ts
The dress has a cinched waistline so wearing a belt is not necessary and can be avoided.
3. Forever 21 Rayon Body Con Dress
Who doesn't love a dress with lace detailing on it? Feminine silhouettes with lace detailing are always a winner with the ladies and so is the case with this one as well. There is not one thing we dislike about this dress and we're sure you're as convinced as well.
Styling Dos
Wear a statement necklace or a long chain necklace thanks to the plunging neckline of the dress for a date night with bae and watch bae fall in love with you all over again.
Styling Don'ts
Opt for neutral toned lingerie which fits well or else the dress may be your worst disaster.
4. ONLY Synthetic Bodycon Dress
Nothing screams party quite like a sequin dress and this one is the perfect party dress for you. The strappy sequin dress has a sweetheart neckline which can be styled multiple ways and will always be a head turner at every party.
Styling Dos
Go for platform heels or metallic strappy ones for the perfect night out look or simply opt for a rocker chick look with a leather jacket over it and chunky boots.
Styling Don'ts
Keep the jewellery to the minimum as the dress is a metallic one already.
5. Harpa Women's Body Con Mini Dress
You either love them or hate them but a one shoulder dress always looks glamourous no matter how you style it. The added ruffles on the shoulder look even more stylish and makes for an easy chic option for a night out.
Styling Dos
Either opt for a monotone look with accessories or colourblock your way with contrasting heels and a clutch.
Styling Don'ts
Avoid wearing necklaces with this dress as it won't add much to the overall look.
6. Miss Olive Cotton Embellished Dress
Sometimes the most basic of dresses can be made to look extraordinary when it has interesting features on it. The bell sleeves with the pearl embellishment are all that we need with our girlfriends for a dinner date (and some lovely cocktails and camaraderie to go along with it of course.)
Styling Dos
Make strappy black heels your best friend to pair with this dress.
Styling Don'ts
A long necklace can do wonders but don't go overboard with accessorising.
7. Guess Women's Cotton Body Con Dress
A black dress may be intimidating for some and for those women a floral option is the perfect one. It is fun and youthful and can be worn casually just as much as it can be for a party. This floral dress features large pink roses made on it and can be worn all throughout the year.
Styling Dos
Style this dress with white sneakers for a casual lunch look or with heels for a dinner party where you don't want to put that extra effort.
Styling Don'ts
Avoid wearing a bra with straps as the dress has a halter neck design to it.
8. DJ&C by fbb Women's Skater Mini Dress
There are no stopping off-shoulder dresses just yet and this black dress is proof of the same. We think dinner dates are made more special when you have an off-shoulder dress to go with it and lace panels of this dress makes it even more worthwhile.
Styling Dos
You can easily wear a choker style necklace or a delicate pendant with this one since there's enough room (pun intended) on your neckline to experiment with.
Styling Don'ts
Avoid wearing a strappy bra and wear a strapless one instead.
9. Kazo Women's Body Con Mini Dress
Superwomans exist and most of them wear capes on their little black dresses like it is no big deal. This metallic dress has a sheer cape attached to the dress which doubles up as sleeves of the dress that is perfect for a dressy occasion like a cocktail dinner.
Styling Dos
Make this dressy outfit even fancier with metallic heels and accessories and a red lip for an outfit to remember.
Styling Don'ts
Don't wear a jacket over the dress as it would kill the overall look.
10. Marie Claire Synthetic Wrap Dress
We love everything about this dress - from the cut to the drape and the fact that it would suit just any woman. If that wasn't enough then perhaps you have never seen a woman confident for a night out as much at work in this outfit.
Styling Dos
Add minimal jewellery to the look along with kitten heels for the ultimate boss babe look but who can make it 'fashion'
Styling Don'ts
The dress is already belted and will not require a belt on the top.
Things To Remember When Buying A Little Black Dress
- Make sure the dress is well-fitted because a black dress even though a saving grace, can be a huge disaster if it doesn't fit you like a glove.
- Match your accessories prior to buying the dress as accessories play a huge role in determining your overall look.
- Your lingerie must be seamless and help your outfit go a few notches higher than what it was in your head.
