Ah, the Little Black Dress; every woman’s best friend. The LBD is one of the most versatile items of clothing in the closet. It’s magical in its ability to transform any girl into a fox, but keep in mind that even the most essential pieces of clothing need a little spicing up every now and then. Have no fear: Her Campus IUP is here to share three innovative ways to rock the little black dress.
1. Keep it Classy!
Why mess with a good thing? No matter the occasion, you can’t go wrong with a classic look. One great way to keep it classy is with a simple, sleek updo and black shoes. No matter your hair type, a chignon or top knot can take your look to the next level— Pinterest has some great updo ideas! Black heels or flats, depending on the occasion, can work as no-fuss footwear, leaving all eyes on the miracles a LBD works on your figure.
2. Color, Color, & More Color!
For those collegiettes looking for anything but classic, color is the way to go! Adding a pop of color— in your hair, jewelry, accessories, or shoes— is a great way to reap the benefits of the LBD while still having fun with your wardrobe.
3. Dress it Down!
Why not take the LBD to a more casual level? Throw on a blazer and a pair of flats or boots and take advantage of the LBD for an everyday occasion! Style your hair down or in a simple pony to match the casual look of your wardrobe.
The LBD is essential to every collegiette’s wardrobe, but that doesn’t mean you can’t take a few chances! Try out one of these suggestions and you are sure to get compliments from every direction!
