Black Dresses FAQs

What shoes can you wear with black dresses?

What shoes you choose to wear with your black dress depends on the style of dress and your personality. Heels or sleek ballet flats are a classic choice for dressy situations, while boots winter-proof your look. Choose from stylish heeled ankle boots or chunky, flat boots for a more edgy vibe. Reach for a cool pair of trainers to achieve a modern aesthetic.

Can you wear a black dress to a wedding?

While black isn’t a traditional choice, anything goes for modern weddings. Be sure to check whether the wedding has a dress code, but generally these days a sleek black dress will fit in perfectly. You could opt for a design with a print to make your look less monochromatic or add colour through your accessories.

What colours go well with black dresses?

Black dresses are a wardrobe staple because of their versatility, pairing with most colours. Style a black dress with colourful accessories, from neons to soft pastels, or with metallic shoes and a bag for evening wear. Many black dresses team well with a denim jacket and trainers for a casual look.

How do you accessorise a black dress?

For smarter occasions, accessorise black dresses with gold or silver jewellery and a sleek clutch. You can create a casual outfit by adding colourful layers, such as a cardigan and trainers with statement socks. For a modern take on the black dress, keep your accessories all black and play with textures.
