Black mini dresses

Q: What shoes go with a black mini dress?

Pretty much anything, which is the magic of a black mini. Strappy heels keep it sexy for a night out, knee-high or ankle boots add edge and work brilliantly in winter, and flat sandals or white trainers dress it down for day. Nude heels lengthen the leg, while metallics and sparkle lean party. Black with black always looks sleek too.

Q: How do you dress up a black mini dress?

It barely needs help, but a few tweaks take it up a level. Add strappy heels, sparkly or gold jewellery and a clutch for a cocktail event or a party. A blazer over the top makes it sharper for dinner or after-work drinks. Stick to one statement, a bold lip, big earrings or a strong shoe, and keep the rest simple so the dress stays the focus.

Q: Are black mini dresses ok for going out and parties?

They are basically made for it. A black mini is the ultimate going-out and party dress: sexy, easy, and impossible to get wrong. Satin and sequin styles feel right for cocktails and big nights, while a corset or strapless cut adds that confident edge. If it is cold, a long sleeve black mini keeps you covered without losing any of the appeal.
