The season of dinner parties, get-togethers and holiday affairs is upon us and we’re taking our little black dress to the next level. It might be everyone’s go-to for a night out, but your LBD can still stand out from the crowd. From sequins to leather, punk to pretty, here are 10 revamped versions to try for fall.

Laser-Cut

Laser Cut Leather Black Dress

What’s not to love about laser-cut leather? This style by Parker mixes edgy leather with a feminine A-line skirt. Peeking through the laser-cut design is a contrasting sateen lining.

Tulle

Leather and Tulle Black Dress

Punk meets princess in this bustier dress by Alice + Olivia. A pleated tulle skirt offers a girly touch with a retro-inspired design. Pair with your favorite pointed-toe pumps and a spiked bracelet.

Sequins

Beaded and Sequin Black Dress

Add a little shimmer and shine at your next holiday party in a sequin dress by Parker. Featuring tonal sequins and beadwork, a low V-neck adds a touch of allure to this formfitting silhouette.

Leather

Leather Black Dress

Leather is everywhere this fall and we’re not afraid to incorporate it into our LBD. A paneled leather dress by Nicholas features curved seams, halter top and mock neckline for a sleek profile.

Feathers

Black Dress with Feathers

For a cosmopolitan edge, opt for a plume shift dress by Nanette Lepore. Tonal feathers on the bottom of this sweater dress will have you looking and feeling like the life of the party.

Cut Outs

Mesh Cut Out Black Dress

Your cocktail attire just got a whole lot sexier with this cut out effect dress by Olcay Gulsen. Featuring a fitted bodice and three-quarter sleeves, sheer mesh panels are the standout detail on this LBD.

Lace

Black Lace Dress

Don’t let this lace dress by Nightcap Clothing fool you. There’s more to the Victorian-inspired style than first meets the eye. This dress features a sheer lace back with distressed and frayed edges to add a deconstructed vibe.

Tie-Dye

Tie Dye Black Dress

Let your boho side shine through even in your little black dress. Fitted jersey shows off a sexy silhouette while a hazy tie-dye pattern creates a slimming illusion on this piece by Young Fabulous & Broke.

Embroidered

Embroidered Black Dress

Wow the crowd with elegance in a unique black and gold sheath dress from L’Wren Scott’s Allegory of Love collection. Trimmed with gilded embroidery at the neckline and pockets, the signature mesh lining ensures a contoured fit.

Tuxedo-Inspired

Tuxedo Inspired Black Dress

Translate the menswear trend into your evening attire with a tuxedo-inspired dress by Rachel Zoe. With a peaked lapel and padded shoulders, we suggest adding a pair of fun booties as a fun and flirty touch.
