The little black dress, also known as an LBD, is always in style. It’s essentially a cocktail dress with a hem hitting above the knee, but it can come in a few different styles. Consider some of these popular silhouettes for your next big event:


  • Fit and flare: A black fit and flare cocktail dress tends to be fitted through the hips before flaring out.
  • A-line: This little black cocktail dress is flattering on many body types. The A-line gradually flares out from the waist.
  • Sheath: This straight, form-fitting dress is a popular cocktail dress for a wedding guest because it’s a sleek, sophisticated style that suits lots of occasions.
  • Bodycon: The bodycon is the definitive sexy black cocktail dress. This modern style exudes glamor, making it a popular choice for parties or a night out on the town.
  • Off-the-shoulder: Designed to show off your neck and shoulders, the flirty, feminine neckline of these dresses will give you an elegant, romantic look at your next event.

A black cocktail dress is an excellent, versatile addition to your wardrobe that can be dressed up or down for lots of occasions, depending on how you style it. The essential part of styling your dress is that you feel great. Consider some of these tips for styling women’s black cocktail dresses:


  • Jewelry: An elegant cocktail dress can be an ideal canvas for showing off delicate details and gorgeous, head-turning jewelry. Add a bold bracelet or big, sparkly statement earrings, or try a delicate gold pendant necklace.
  • Jackets and accessories: Adding accessories to your plain black long-sleeve cocktail dress will give your ensemble visual interest. Consider a faux fur jacket, plush velvet clutch, or beautiful sparkly metallic and gemstone statement earrings for a gala event. And for a more casual outing, throw on a leather jacket or a contrasting fitted blazer.
  • Shoes: Experiment with something adventurous, like colorful strappy heels paired with a black midi cocktail dress for an eye-catching look. Alternatively, wear timeless black pumps for a more understated look.
