So you have a little-black dress, but you think it’s too plain and you need something for tonight. The beauty of a plain-black dress is that it can transform in front of your very eyes with a few simple tweaks. Accessories can make or break an outfit, and sometimes all you need is a little something to make a boring dress much better. Here are five items that you can pick and choose from to create a dazzling look.
LBD from Warehouse
A Sparkly Wrap
A wrap that goes around your shoulders can make a big difference. If it’s sparkly, that’s even better. Sequins or glitter fabric can accentuate your shoulders and neck. It will draw attention to the wrap instead of the plain dress. Wraps are versatile and will also keep you warm in the winter or in a cold theatre, restaurant or venue.
A Belt
Belts can take a shapeless and plain dress from bland to amazing. A belt will accentuate your waist and add something interesting to the dress. Don’t just choose a plain belt. Go for something bold. Bright colours, textures and hardware will make a simple dress stand out from the crowd.
A Large Brooch
Brooches are a cute and whimsical way to add detail to a dress that lacks style and flair. Brooches come in tons of styles, shapes and colours. They can be made with Swarovski, gemstones or any number of materials. A vintage brooch is an interesting conversation piece. Adding one to your little-black dress will certainly make your dress look stunning.
Layers of Pearls
Adding layers of pearls “Breakfast At Tiffany’s” style will glam-up your dress and make you look absolutely stunning. It doesn’t have to cost a fortune either. Glass pearls are now available, and they are much more affordable than traditional pearls. Layering different coloured pearls is also a lovely option that will make your look more feminine and modern. Going with white or cream coloured pearls works well too.
Add a Vest
A vest is an unconventional way to spice up a LBD. It works though, and you will look fantastic. Vests come in so many cuts and styles that it is hard to go wrong. You can choose a sequined vest, a silky vest, a velvet vest or something with an interesting fabric. The possibilities are truly endless. Paired with the right accessories, you will look like you walked out of a magazine editorial.
