Tips for Styling the Little Black Dress

Happy Thursday lovelies! I’m super excited for tomorrow because the boys are having a sleepover at the grandparents, and my husband and I are having a much-needed date night! And of course if there’s one outfit out there that always makes me look and feel my best for date night, it’s the classic Little Black Dress (LBD).

I mean you really can’t go wrong with the little black dress. It’s one of the most flattering colors, it’s chic-looking, and the possibilities are endless when it comes to styling it. So today I’m sharing my best tips for styling the little black dress so you can look amazing for your next big event! I’m also sharing two adorable looks and my top 10 ways to style the LBD!

Whether you’re wanting to dress up for date night, a work event, or a night out on the town with friends, a Little Black Dress is the perfect choice! But one thing holds true in all instances- getting the dreaded white marks is a no-go!

Since picking an outfit is the most time-consuming part of getting ready for many women, it’s no surprise that 90 percent of respondents said finding a white deodorant mark is annoying and inconvenient.

That’s why I recently switched to using Dove Invisible Dry Spray Antiperspirant which keeps me feeling confident and smells amazing! Dove Invisible Dry Spray Antiperspirant goes on invisible, leaves no white marks on 100 colors, and with 48-hour odor and wetness protection, keeps you fresh all day.

Not only does the Dove Invisible Dry Spray Antiperspirant guarantee no white marks on 100 colors, but it also offers 1/4 moisturizing technology which helps make the skin feel super soft! I definitely recommend giving this product a try, if you’re tired of white marks getting on your clothing.

Now onto styling a little black dress! As mentioned before, the possibilities are endless and you can change the entire look of your little black dress just by switching up your accessories and shoes.

For the most versatility, I recommend choosing a black dress that has simple detailing. One of my favorite LBD’s is a basic halter style, which features a sexy, low-back detail. I love that I can style it several different ways simply depending on how I accessorize it and what I pair it with.

For a sexy date night look, I kept it simple with a nude pair of heels, a simple pair of earrings, and added a black flower in my hair for a touch of elegance.

    The LBD is one of my favorite pieces in my wardrobe for sure. Classic and timeless! I love the scoop on the back of yours! And I love this Dove spray! I have shared it in a recent empty post because I feel it truly doesn’t leave any marks and worked well in this Alabama heat!

    I love these ideas! I’m brining very minimal clothing on our Iceland/Europe vacation this fall, but I’m definitely packing an LBD. BUT since I’m limited with shoes and accessories, I’ll have to rock it a few different ways. Thank you for this!

    The ‘sexy date night’ look has to be my favourite. I’m trying to add more dresses-with-cute-details to my wardrobe this year. I love the low back! So chic. The shoes look great on you too!

    I definitely need to try the Dove spray because my traditional gel deodorant is ruining some of my dresses. It’s so frustrating! I feel like I’m the only person who doesn’t know how to use this stuff, lol.

    I love your boho chic look and I could definitely try the rocker look too. Deodorant marks are super annoying and I actually had to throw out a black shirt yesterday because it had permanent underarm stains. ? Not cool. Maybe I’ll have to try it!

    The dress is gorgeous and looks great on you! I have never used that particular Dove product, but you are absolutely right about the fact that getting that white stains off of black dresses are a pain. I am going to look for this on my next Target trip. Thanks for sharing.
