Chic Black Evening Dresses For Glamorous RSVP's
When the dress code calls for elegance or even a touch of glamour, I’ll reach for these chic black evening dresses time and time again. Firstly, the fishnet gown by Self Portrait. I don’t make promises lightly, but I’ll wager you feel like a million dollars the moment you slip into this sparkly halterneck dress. It’s as perfect for red-carpet appearances as it is for milestone birthdays and black-tie events. As are Aquazzura’s crystal crush slingback pumps and the Bon Bon satin bucket bag by Jimmy Choo. Both of which happen to go perfectly with this dress!
Secondly, the Manuela bow slip maxi dress by Free People is the ultimate throw-on-and-go silhouette for fall. Slip it on with a cute pair of heeled designer sandals. Like the Movie 105 crystal-embellished mules by Aquazzura. You’ll feel effortlessly elegant and put together in minutes.

Chic Black Evening Dresses You'll Have In Your Closet For Years To Come
When you’re shopping for chic black evening dresses, look out for timeless styles you’ll love for years to come. Like the Carmel maxi dress by Hutch. A gorgeous strapless midi dress made to shine with coordinating black heels. I highly recommend investing in this glamorous silhouette before it inevitably sells out. Style it with the mini La Medusa top handle bag by Versace and the Manolo Blahnik Pelona Mary Jane pumps. It’ll be an after-dark outfit you’ll want to wear on repeat.
Finally, if it’s a mini dress you’re looking for, the Twofer mini dress by Hutch is the one. Firstly, I’m head over heels for this eternally pretty silhouette with its flattering fitted top and voluminous tulle mini skirt. Secondly, add simple heels and a clutch (preferably the Ida sandals by Tom Ford and the Nobile croc-effect clutch by Tom Ford). Then, let this dress do all the talking.
