Is anything more classic (and classy) than a fabulous black dress? We all know how well Audrey did it, and now it's your turn! We've gathered some truly fabulous takes. From traditional to seriously funky, we've got all the hottest styles to help you choose the right black dress for you. (Plus, with all but one of our dresses under $90.00, you can definitely find some great styles for less.) So, check out our top choices, and make sure you don't sell yourself short when it comes to this truly feminine look!
As always, Merona will start us off with their trendy, yet supremely affordable take. Their Ebony Black Strapless Bubble Dress' offers the perfect balance of sophistication, without the stuffiness. This strapless, 97% cotton, 3% spandex frock features a just-below-the-bust cross-figure tie and above the knee bubble for a seriously flattering figure. Plus, this unique fabric mix allows for comfort, while its hue keeps things just formal enough. And, with its low-slung back, you'll give off a subtly sexy air, without trying too hard or limiting the events you could don this versatile choice to. Its sleek feminine shape keeps the look classic, while the bubble hem and wrap-around bow shakes things up just a bit. And, for just $39.99, could you really ask for much else?
But, for those of you on the hunt for the classic black dress, look no further. The Territory Ahead's 'Isabella's Little Black Dress' is most definitely for you! This square neck, thick-strapped, just-above-the-knee frock is about as versatile as a piece of clothing can get. Its smooth, ponte-knit fabric gives this cotton-rayon-nylon-spandex blend the sleek look you'd need for just about any event'work or family, fun or serious. Its invisible back zip keeps things simple, while the just-above-the-knee length adds a hint of sexiness without overstating it. This fabulous choice comes in at $89.99, and with the versatility it offers, this is a serious steal. So, for those of you on the hunt for the classic, classy little black dress, it just does not get any better than this! (Do take not, though, this is a strictly dry clean only option.)
A great in-between choice for a cut between strapless and thick over-the-shoulder appeal, Banana Republic's 'Silk Twist-Neck Dress' fits the bill. Its twisted neckline swings up, and over your shoulders for an unexpected, yet classy twist. This one hundred percent silk dress, complete with regal neck/strap drape, hangs mid thigh when propped with its thick teal belt, cinching you at your natural waistline. The belt acts as a balance with this otherwise seriously fancy option. A fabulous option for transitioning from day to evening, simply remove your daytime shrug off and you're ready for a night out. Do note, though, that its full-price runs you around $130. Not bad for an all-silk dress, you can find it for as low as $60 if you look during seasonal changeovers.
So, whether you're looking for super trendy, slightly offbeat, or absolutely classic, you can definitely find the right little black dress for you at a great price.
