A black dress is one of the most traditional pieces of clothing in a woman’s wardrobe and is probably a piece of clothing that will never go out of fashion. Whilst we want to wear one of the most popular items of clothing in style, we also want to be able to add our own twist to it and the way to do that is by accessorising. Black dresses come in a variety of different shapes and styles from strappy dresses, midi dresses, flair and many more however if you want to take your accessorises to the next level for a look which is more than black on black, here are our recommendations on accessorising a black dress.
Colourful Jewellery
The good thing about the colour black is that there is so much freedom when it comes to accessorising, as there isn’t a colour that doesn’t go. If you really want the wow factor the the brighter the better. We recommend jewellery from Thomas Sabo’s newest collection such as their Medallion necklace which shows off an ocean blue.
This necklace would be matched well with their sterling silver turquoise ring which is the perfect combination of an elegant and bohemian style.
Watches
Watches are one of the best ways to finish off a look, they are adaptable to a variety of different occasions, both formal and casual, and can usually style with more than one item in your wardrobe including a gorgeous black dress. If you prefer to maximise an elegant and sophisticated style then a watch might be the accessory you have been looking for. If you are looking to add a hint of sparkle to your black dress then this can be achieved with Rotary’s Glitter dial timepiece.
Alternatively if you are more of a fashionista at heart and are looking to have a designer label as the finishing touch of your black dress then we recommend Tommy Hilfiger’s Claudia watch which shows off the iconic colours of the brand, navy blue white and red.
Animal Print
If you have been keeping up with our latest blog we talked about Fall Fashion trends for 2018 and amongst the latest fashion trends is in fact animal prints. Animal print can be incorporated into a number of different fashion items such as scarfs, jackets, shoes and we even have a selection of watches that are available in animal print, firstly Guess’s Rose Gold Tortoise Shell Watch, which is sure to make a fashion statement.
Secondly is Cluse’s La Boheme Rose Gold Lizard Print watch, which is in the eye catching colour green. This watch would be well matches with shoes and a clutch bag of the same beautiful green.
Skulls
If the look you strive for is more alternative than mainstream then we recommend you darken your look with a few skulls as your main accessorises. Skulls are sure to make your look more edgy as with this Zirconia Bracelet by Thomas Sabo.
Alternatively if you are looking for a piece of jewellery with more than one skull on it then Thomas Sabo also do an Obsidian Bracelet so you can take your alternatively edgy look to the next level.
Nude accessories
There is a saying that nude shoes make your legs look longer, if that is the case then we would 100% recommend wearing these with a black dress. If you love the nude look but are in need of some accessories to match nude and black we would recommend choosing either gold or silver jewellery. For a touch of gold we suggest Tommy Hilfiger’s Chunky Gold Bracelet which will definitely catch the eye of your friends and family.
If you would prefer something a little more subtle and silver then we recommend ChoBo’s Open Star Bracelet which is sleek and sophisticated in design.
