Every girl knows that a little black dress is the ultimate fashion staple. From formal to a fun day out, there’s an endless array of different LBD styles. But how does one really rock a LBD? No matter where you’re going or what your plans are, we have you covered with plenty of little-black-dress outfit inspirations!:

Casual

For a cute and comfy outfit, try pairing a simple cotton black dress with a layered sweater and denim jacket combo. Top off the look with a unique scarf and knee-highs, and you’ll seem effortlessly hip.

Date Night

Nothing goes better with a LBD than a pair of sassy red pumps! This cinched-waist cut is super flattering for all body types, and the single bare shoulder is classic and sexy. Pair it with a small, jeweled clutch for a little sparkle and shine, and your cutie’s jaw will hit the floor.

Formal

A classic formal LBD is essential for every collegiette! This sleek, black dress is perfect for a fancy occasion, and the beaded collar adds a perfect pop of sparkle- no accessories needed!

G.N.O.

Whether you’re hitting the town or dancing up a storm in the club with your ladies, this edgy ensemble is sure to turn heads! Mix-matching patterns is always trendy, and you can never go wrong by pairing leather and studs.

Chic For Class

Trying to draw the attention of a Campus Cutie, or just in the mood to be a little dolled up for English class? A pretty little black dress with delicate white lace is casual enough for campus, but cute enough to achieve a flawlessly adorable look. For a bit of color, add a bright pair of heels and matching lipstick!
