Black Dresses

The black dress is a wardrobe icon, seamlessly transitioning from day to night, season to season and casual to couture. A versatile yet classic number, the little black dress has made statements for decades, offering women a touch of class, timelessness and gusto in their aesthetic.

When choosing the perfect dress for your next event, consider the detailing and how you'll style it.

Dress Detailing

In terms of silhouette, go A-line for everyday movement, bodycon for allure or slip for understated cocktail dress elegance. Fabric sets the tone: a black satin gala dress speaks to luxury, whereas a jersey suggests comfort. If you're leaning into black for a wedding guest dress, opt for sequin or rhinestone detailing for extra glamor.

Styling

Pair a structured midi dress with a blazer and loafers for a power move at work. Swap the blazer for a leather jacket, step into strappy heels and you’re ready for Friday night. Layer a maxi dress with a chunky knit for Sunday brunch or a tailored trench for minimalist chic. As for accessories, your choice of gold hoop earrings, bold red lips or a breezy updo will do the talking.

And while no two black dresses are the same, no black dress should be worn to separate events. Access designer black dresses for any event with Rent the Runway and keep your LBD look fresh, month after month.
