Six Black Dress Outfit Ideas

Black dresses are one of our favorite items to wear. They are easy to accessorize because they basically go with every color of the rainbow. A black dress is slimming and when you wear a black dress you exude confidence. Everyone should have a black dress in their wardrobe because it is an easy last minute outfit to put together.

We have put together six black dress outfit ideas we think you will love. Some of these dresses can most certainly be worn into the fall comfortably by adding a jacket.

Six Black Dress Outfit Ideas

Staud Ellison Pleated Knit Dress

This Staud Dress is a beautiful knit with a square neckline that we both love because it is face framing. You really can dress this dress up with a pretty blazer or down with a jean jacket. The drop waist and the pretty pleats just add more interest to the dress. We paired it with gold and silver necklace and earrings from Karine Sultan, a pretty black Tory Burch Tote, gold wedges from Kate Spade and a darling scarf.

Tahari ASL Side Tie Dress

Absolutely in love with this black dress from Tahari. It is constructed of a soft microsuede fabric and features a side tie which is so figure flattering. You absolutely could wear this dress to work and then add some statement jewelry and go to dinner. This dress is currently on sale at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale for $89.99! Red accessories are currently very popular but we have always loved red. It adds a pop of color to so many outfits and this purse and shoe do just that. Bev owns the Cinq A Sept Jacket in white and wears it often with so many different outfits. Gold accent bracelet, and earrings with a bold sunglass rounds out the outfit!

Varley Sophie Dress

Varley happens to be one of our favorite brands! Why! The clothes are well made, fabrics are soft and cozy and Varley clothes are so stylish! This Sophie Dress is a perfect three season dress! Stay warm in the spring and fall by throwing on a jacket. The Tory Burch Double T Espadrille is in Val’s cart. They are super comfortable and look so cute with the Varley dress. A sneaker looks good with this dress too! Add on a cap, a belt bag and sunglasses and you are good to go!

Selani One Shoulder Dress

Love one shoulder dresses and this One Shoulder Dress is no exception! Paired it with the Kate Spade Wedges, a Tory Burch Tote, and wide brimmed hat. Julie Vos is one of our favorite jewelry designers and we have styled this dress with the Nassau Demi Stone Bracelet, the Nassau Earrings and a bracelet that Bev wears on repeat…the Julie Vos Cannes Bracelet.

Johnny Was Celina Dress

This beautiful Celina Tired Dress from Johnny Was has such beautiful embroidery and a tiered skirt! It is a cotton dress which makes it breathable on those hot summer days. We always like to have a wrap with us because air conditioning in restaurants in the summer can be brutal! Val owns this little bag from Pamela Munson and loves it. It is quite roomy and it will go with so many of your summer outfits! You can carry it as a clutch but it also can be worn as a crossbody as it comes with a gold chain. The Susan Shaw earrings and bracelet bring out the colors in the dress. The Tory Burch Sandals complete the outfit!

DOEN Carolynn Dress

The DOEN Carolynn Dress is ruffled on the bodice and has a square neck with a self tie and smocked bodice. So feminine and pretty! The Pamela Munson Bag is another of our favorites with the croc embossed detail. Julie Vos earrings, and bracelet here and here. We like both of these shoes with this dress. The Loeffler Randall Sandal could be worn for a dressier occasion and the woven raffia espadrille pairs well with this dress too.

Summer is a perfect time to wear midi and maxi dresses. If you like them as much as we do check out our post “Midi and Maxi Dresses For Summer.”
