A short history of the Little Black Dress
The little black dress trend dates back to the 1920s, and was often worn by fashion icon Coco Chanel. Christian Dior continued the legacy with his New Look dress, and later, many pop culture legends like Audrey Hepburn, Edith Piaf, Princess Diana, and Elizabeth Hurley were spotted flaunting the LBD. The little black dress has remained front and centre of the fashion landscape because it is perennially trendy, effortless to style, and looks good on everyone.
Shoes to go with different little black dresses
Depending on the vibe of your little black dress, you can choose a style of shoes that complements it best. Here are some ideas on different shoes to wear with different styles of black dresses:
Skater dresses
In the warmer months, you are more likely to find black dresses that are flowy or made with comfortable natural materials like cotton and linen. For such dresses, it is best to go for simple and understated footwear such as sandals and flip flops. This will allow your feet to breathe while also matching the aesthetic of your summer dress. You can even opt for black boots with dresses for a more edgy look.
Bodycon dresses
A figure hugging little black dress is the epitome of sophistication and style. To dress up a frock like this, try out a pair of Saint G’s premium leather handcrafted stiletto heels in a funky colour or print. This is an easy way to add a dash of glam to your look, which would be perfect for a party or work event. Sneakers also make for great shoes to go with black dresses especially if you’re heading to a more casual do.
T-shirt dresses
The humble t-shirt dress is also a great idea for a little black dress because it is extremely versatile. Because of the looser fit of t shirt dresses, you can easily pair it with sneakers or Chelsea boots for a comfortable everyday look. But if you want a more elegant look, strap on a beautiful, shiny belt and upgrade your shoes to some block heels or moccasins. Saint G offers a range of shoes in various style, all made of premium leather and crafted by the finest craftsmen.
