Black dresses on the floor seem to take us back to the past, when courteous gentlemen courteously looked after the ladies, presented them with compliments, flowers and gifts. Their fair skin looked great against the dark dress. And this added mystery and mystery to the image.

- The high cut is suitable for those with long and slender legs;
- A deep neckline will reveal an appetizing chest;
- Decorated straps or one strap will show how beautiful and well-groomed the back is;
- Cutouts in the waist area will expose the body, but will not overstep the boundaries of what is permitted.

This season, the designers paid special attention to the satin shiny fabric, which shows all its nobility and high cost in the black version. Most importantly, they do not create the effect of additional volume.

The main emphasis is on femininity and sophistication, because the silhouettes are predominantly laconic, but not devoid of notes of sexuality.The provocative neckline has become a trend among designers, and the peplum will only add originality to the image. Also, you don't have to worry about skin tone, as black will suit any type.

The skirt looks especially chic if it is decorated in gold color with sequins, scattering of rhinestones or beads, embroidery, drapery or lush flared. If you have perfect proportions, you will look chic in a form-fitting model with a cutout along the entire thigh.

Short and medium length
Modern fashion is incredibly diverse, and therefore there are practically no mandatory wardrobe items for every girl. But there are still exceptions.
And above all, this is a short black dress. It was invented by the world famous Coco Chanel. It is her idea that is the basis for creating the most incredible modern short evening dresses.

The key feature of a sheath dress should be a semi-fitted silhouette, a closed neckline, and a focus on the waist. The length is slightly below the kneecap. Everything ingenious is simple, and this outfit is a direct proof of that.

A small evening dress in black is also available in other styles. For example, an A-shaped silhouette from the knee length and above, voluminous fluffy skirts, large but flat pockets, as well as shuttlecocks, ruffles, various folds and tucks. In short, cropped models perfectly “accept” a variety of means of expressing style.

Don't forget about decor, embellishments and accessories. There should not be many of them and they have no right to attract all the attention to themselves. The main element is always the dress.
![Short black evening dress with bolero](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2015/08/chernoe-vechernee-plate-13.jpg)
Asymmetrical dresses
The slanting hem never ceases to be in vogue. And it doesn't matter if it's a multilevel length or the skirt is cut to one side. Also popular are models with one shoulder and asymmetric neckline.

Lace
As practice shows, it is a black sheath dress in combination with lace fabric that is the most ideal option for an evening look. You will never lose if you choose it.
![Short lace black evening dress](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2015/08/chernoe-vechernee-plate-101.jpg)
The image turns out to be incredibly feminine, elegant, and the cut gives the figure additional slimness.
![Lace black evening dress](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2015/08/chernoe-vechernee-plate-60.jpg)
Very often, a contrasting or skin-colored substrate is used under black lace. Both options emphasize the beauty of the pattern.

It is better to combine an outfit made of dense lace with heels and a clutch, and the best places for its "use" will be cultural evenings, going to theaters, an opera, an upscale restaurant.
![Black evening dress with lace top](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2015/08/chernoe-vechernee-plate-17.jpg)
Choose the perfect cut for yourself based on your figure. An unlined lace back, and of course the illusion of a deep neckline, will give the look a showiness.

Do not be afraid to replenish your wardrobe with long dresses or knee-length dresses, complemented by lace, as they will remain at the top of fashion for a very long time.

Of course, a completely dress made of thin lace is quite frank, therefore not everyone decides on it. An alternative can be a model with lace inserts in the form of sleeves, bodice. Moreover, they can either repeat the black color of the dress itself, or play in contrast with white colors.

White lace on a black canvas noticeably softens the image, which means it is perfect for corporate events, business meetings and other similar events. Add some flashy accessories though, and you're ready for a gala dinner.

With open back
It was previously mentioned that the open back adds zest to the outfit. The depth of the cutout depends only on your modesty, and the shape depends on the designer's imagination. Depth that opens the shoulder blades or falls below the waistline is considered fashionable.
The edges of the neckline can be decorated with lace, like the back itself. Then the effect of a tattoo is created, which sometimes looks quite daring.

Diluting black
Black is one of the most versatile colors for women's fashion. Therefore, all shades of the color palette are perfectly combined with it.
The most classic but never out of fashion combination is black and white.
![Evening dress black with white insert](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2015/08/chernoe-vechernee-plate-86.jpg)
With their help, you can create a festive look suitable for all kinds of celebrations. White can act as a light top, a geometric insert or even a train. Nowadays, a striped dress has become fashionable.

One of the most popular and harmonious contrasts is the combination of black with flesh or beige.
![Evening black dress with nude](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2015/08/chernoe-vechernee-plate-98.jpg)
Although the combination of black and pink is in no way inferior to this combination. Dresses are pretty, delicate and romantic.

The red and black version of the evening dress will highlight your determination and passion. Many brides today choose such an image in order to be truly different from everyone else.
Also pay attention to black and green. This pair of flowers creates an amazing ensemble.
A great alternative is a pair of black and blue, or gray and black. Smooth transitions provide a superior effect.

Textile
When choosing a style, you should always pay special attention to the fabrics used. Due to the color, attention is focused on the nuances of the cut itself. Therefore, designers recommend choosing matte and exclusively natural fabrics.
A striking example is silk, wool, genuine leather and lace.... Their combination allows you to create masterpieces of design art.

Makeup
The dark shades of evening gowns have special makeup requirements. The minimum amount of makeup will not work here. Makeup should be rich and bright.
Just do not in any way confuse the concepts of bright and vulgar makeup, since they are completely different things.

Here are some important rules:
- Focus on one thing - eyes or lips.
- If these are eyes, then all shades of beige, silver and gold will do. Or you can opt for classic white, gray or black eyeshadows.
- If the emphasis is still on the lips, then the lipstick is classic red. Choose a shade based on personal preference, skin and hair color.
- To correctly complete the make-up, use lengthening black mascara in order to emphasize the effect of your look.
- In certain situations, it is quite possible to use false eyelashes, if your own does not allow you to make your eyes expressive and attractive using only mascara and eyeliner.
Black lace dresses are just amazing!
Solid black dresses are boring. But if diluted with red lipstick and red accessories, hold on! The image turns out to be "fire"!
