One of fall’s all-time hottest colors is black. Although the LBD (little black dress) is clearly a classic choice that’s wearable all year round, we have been seeing a lot of black dresses to welcome the season lately.

This season’s LBDs are much more daring, with bolder details and silhouettes. Here are some stylish ways to wear everyone’s favorite dress style this fall:

1. Casual Off-the-Shoulder Dress

Wear loose-fitting black dresses like Cara Santana’s off-shoulder LBD for casual off-duty days.

Pair it with comfy lace-up sandals and a bold-print day clutch for a spicy finishing touch. If you are not too keen on short hemlines, go for high-low styles to have some coverage at the back.

2. Romantic Lace and Ruffles

Romantic details like lace and ruffles are perfect for date nights. This style offers feminine vibes and can be easily paired with your favorite sexy high heels.

You can also wear tights and stockings when the temperature gets chilly.

The supermodel, known for her sometimes quirky taste in fashion, rocked a Burberry mini dress with edgy mesh and feather detailing. We love that she styled the look with smoky eyes and caged heels for more drama.

The heydays of bandage dresses are long gone and have been replaced with more sultry fabrics and silhouettes.

Instead of the figure-hugging dresses, wear silky numbers and off-shoulder styles if you want a sexy LBD look.

Jada Pinkett-Smith definitely knows how to amp up the sexiness of one. She flaunted her enviable figure in a mini Balmain dress at the Magic Mike XXL premiere.
