There is nothing more reliable than a little black dress. It’s like the best friend who will always answer your call at 3am or that brownie sundae that never disappoints. As New Year’s Eve approaches on Saturday, I am once again faced with the eternal question, “What am I going to wear?” This year, I am going to convince you why you should wear a little black dress on New Year’s Eve.

It’s likely you already have a little black dress

Forget rushing into the mall on New Year’s Eve trying to find the perfect sequin plunging jumpsuit. I’ve done this before and it never works out because sizes and anything sparkly is picked over. Also, as much as I hate to say it, I try not to invest in clothing I’m only going to wear once or twice a year. And for me, bedazzled bodysuits usually fall into that category. Save your money for champagne and take advantage of wearing your LBD that you already know looks amazing!

The accessorizing possibilities are endless!

A little black dress is a blank slate for you to accessorize. Let this be your opportunity to turn your outfit into your New Year’s Eve heart’s desire! Accessorize your LBD to look glamorous, classic, fun, or edgy with jewelry, shoes, or a handbag. Personally, I’m loving chokers, velvet heels, and fur clutches.

You can go crazy on makeup too

Don’t worry about going over the top with sparkly eyeliner or a smokey eye when you’re wearing a black dress. Your LBD enhances your look but won’t distract from a standout lip or shimmering nails. Go to Pinterest or your favorite Instagram makeup artist and get inspired! This year, I might go for a blue liquid eyeliner!

 

You’re guaranteed to look fabulous

You bought your LBD because it looks fabulous on you. Black dresses are slimming, classic, look great on every skin tone, and in any lighting. Black doesn’t show sweat, spills, or that bright pink bra you’re wearing. The more comfortable you feel, the more fun you will have. If there is one dress I’d put my money on, it’s the LBD.

Have a Fashionable and Happy New Year!
