How to Bling Up a Plain Black Dress

"One is never over-dressed or underdressed with a Little Black Dress."


― Karl Lagerfeld

The color black represents things that are hidden, secretive, mysterious and unknown. In psychology, it protects the person from emotional stress and puts a barrier between the external world and one's self. Therefore, wearing black will hide all your insecurities and makes you look as powerful as ever.

Having been a fashion classic for decades, a black dress is designed to be elegant and simple. For this reason, it can go well with any occasion; from a party to a funeral. The lucky feature of wearing a black dress is also due to this simple nature: You can combine it with almost any piece of jewelry and accessories!

Depending on your choice of accessories, you can look either formal or informal. Though, we are sure that you will look beautiful no matter what! Down below, we have collected 9 main styles for you to decide.

1- Pearls


Who would not like to look like Audrey Hepburn on a normal day? As pearls were the statement pieces of jewelry of Audrey, who was known for her elegant and stylish look, we suggest you use pearls as a symbol of your vanity.



You can observe how Audrey combined her suede black dress with suede shoes and with a little purse accessorized by white and black stones. Just like her, you can look like a royal gem within the crowd with this combination of clothing and jewelry. Not to mention, anyone who manages to look even a little bit like Audrey Hepburn will exclusively get the eyes on her.



Likewise, you can find or create a pearl headband to increase your shine. If the fictional character Blair Waldorf -who is known for her fashion sense and designer clothes- found it right, we are obliged to follow.

2- Gemstone Jewelry of Different Colors

I mentioned how lucky we are with the color black as it is so easy to combine with literally everything! Using coral, turquoise, velvet and other colors in your jewelry will make you look fresh, vivid, and it will pop up your whole style. If you pick the right color, you can also disambiguate the color of your eyes.



Here you can see how Megan Fox pulled it off with a big turquoise necklace. It might have made her outfit seem more casual, yet it did not. She chose to only add a statement necklace and went with süper small additional accessories, therefore she completed her look just fine.

As I mentioned earlier, you can also go for a coral stone necklace, however, this type could make you seem more casual and funky than formal. I might be wrong, but it looks somehow vulgar for an official event, yet, I guess it depends on who wears this combination.

Another great color that goes well with black is pink. However, the shade of the pink must be soft rather than radiant, if you want to look chicer rather than looking chavette.

There is a great example of how the color pink goes magnificent with black when the right fittings are chosen. The use of glass pearl and pink crystal and the addition of glitter with the necklace made everything almost perfect. If you are attending a fancy cocktail, you can complete your look with a glass of pink gin and strawberries and enjoy being fabulous in the right way.

When it comes to harmony between black and yellow, there is not much to say. (You know how it is.) The color completes black in a funky way, yet with the right choice of jewelry, you do not have to give up on a formal look.



If the yellow gemstones look like crystals, you are on the right way. Instead, if you want to go for multi-strand, chunky necklaces, use them with a casual dress and in a casual event.

Another example could be pieces of jewelry with purple shiny gemstones. These can go great with formal occasions and increase your glamour by 200%!

3- Black Onyx Jewelry


Onyx stone is said to bring energy, power, and self-control. It reduces stress, anxiety, and agitation, and eradicates the feeling of being in trouble and constant cautiousness. It is used to give an insight into what is 'out there' and to transform the memory of one's roots and reality into activation.

If you want to look complete with the color black while wearing a stone that supposedly eradicates your stress and fears, black onyx jewelry will be suitable for you.



In the picture, another fictional character from Gossip girl used black onyx stones to complete her style. Having taken advantage of her low-necked dress, she used a longer and bigger necklace that is not killing the glamour of her dress. Unlike her, depending on the style of your dress, you can also go for minimal styling with these stones.

4- Harmony of Black and Gold


Most people already acknowledge how black and gold go great together. No matter where you are from in the world, this information is cultivated in your memory.

There would be some black dresses you will be probably wearing, such as leather dresses, but it can look how great it went even with a dress that is so avant-garde. If you can find such headwear with your dress, you will look like a character right out of the Ancient Roman Times. You can also keep it simple like.

5- Harmony of Black and Silver


Just like black and gold combination, black and silver harmony is also commonly known by everyone. The power of silver is that it can light up the whole outlook and make one shinier and more radiant.

Here is a piece of unique jewelry combining silver with pearls to increase the overall glamour. However, let's just focus on the silver combinations, shall we?



If you want to look royal, try to study someone who is truly living the royal life, right? Kate Middleton is being followed by the millions around the world, and her dressing style is chiefly loved by many fashion critics. Therefore, Kate Middleton knows what to wear and how to wear it.

6- Harmony of Black and Red


Black and red usually go great, that is true. However, it is wiser to use darker shades of red as vice-versa it may look vulgar and cheap for a formal occasion. Keep your red on for a bit of contrast, yet do not overuse this color as it has its own risks. A red dress goes great with black, however, a black dress needs less red when it comes to ornamentation.

In the example, I would go for a better dress and shoes, and would not use the red purse as it could be too much. However, it is all up to the person and I am not a fashion-genius. However, it represents a good choice of bracelet and earrings, just what I had in mind!

You can still wear a brooch and do not look like you are having a style incompatible with your age.

Furthermore, because of their quality and shine, diamonds are regarded as magnificent. They entice people. They increase the beauty of the individual by adding shine on her, and they can be worn with numerous types of outfits. Even though they are mostly pricey, people will purchase them no matter what to add value to their stance.

Diamonds also go great with metallic accessories like a purse or a detail on the shoe. Apparently, there is nothing that a piece of a diamond cannot complement.

9- Bohemian Jewelry and Casual Clothing


The black dress does not equal formality right away. There are a lot of casual dresses that people wear in their daily life. As it would look funny to add heavy pieces of jewelry on a daily dress, most people go for a chill, bohemian look.

Knitted necklaces have been pretty common recently. People mostly use these for a Hawaiian look in the spring or summer. If the necklace is wrapped up in different colors and stones, it looks even better. Likewise, in the Hawaiian look, turquoise stones are used widely in multiple finger rings. You can combine compatible knitted necklaces and rings to complete your outfit and your overall style.

Another possible combination is necklaces with big stones with a casual dress. If your black dress has colorful details, you can try to find pieces of jewelry whose colors are suitable for those details. Additionally, you can also have long, free chains, mostly in the color gold to complete your casual look.
