Accessorising Your LBD
A little black dress is a must have item for every woman. Good enough for any occasion, from the most formal dinner to the funkiest club night, the LBD shows its true colors when accessories are chosen sensibly to complement your look – handbags, jewelry, and so on. For this reason, it is well worth learning some tricks to help you accessorise your LBD so that you can get maximum flexibility and whenever you wear it. With the right tricks, even your closest friends won’t realize that you are wearing the same dress each time. Your look can be totally different every time when you learn how to accessorise!
Jewelry is a great tool to complement any outfit. The LBD really comes into it’s own when paired with some ornate earrings. Think simple, but elegant. Silver goes particularly well with black. This could be paired with a simple bangle, and a black leather handbag with silver detailing. Jewelry doesn’t have to cost the earth either – brooches or necklaces made of semi precious metals or even natural and found objects work well with a simple outfit.
Depending on your hair color and complexion, you might find it useful to add a splash of colour. Simple, primary colors like red or blue always work well. Use your chosen color in a couple of places so you don’t look lopsided. Try a colored shoe, along with earrings in the same color. Match the color you wear to the type of function you are attending. An event like a gallery opening or a party might call for hot pink, whereas a romantic date might be spiced up if you add a some crimson accessories to your LBD.
Scarves are another great (and cheap) way to add some color and mix up your look. Larger silk scarves can be worn tied around the neck, draped as a shawl, or tied round the waist like a sash. With just your LBS, a few pairs of shoes, and a couple of scarves, you can have dozens of combinations of color and style!
