How do you accessorize a black dress?

For daytime wear, pair a black dress with casual accessories like a denim jacket and wedge boots. For a night out, add a shawl and sparkly earrings.

A black dress can go from casual to dressy with the use of different accessories. During the daytime, a black dress works best with casual outerwear pieces and boots or flats. For dressier events, pair a black dress with stiletto pumps, a bold piece of jewelry and a clutch handbag. For a playful look, select bright-colored accessories for a pop of color. For extra formal events, metallic accessories add dramatic contrast to black clothing.
