For this week’s workwear post we are styling a casual black dress from Walmart. I found this dress through another blogger friend and it is so good. The best part about this dress is it’s only $15. In this post, you’ll see how to style this dress three different ways. This casual black dress has a tiered bottom and doesn’t have a ton of stretch. I would size up one size if you grab it. You don’t have to have this exact black dress. Any simple black dress will work.
Can a Black Dress be Casual?
But first, can a black dress be casual? Absolutely! This dress is super casual and in my opinion plain. You could wear this specific black dress or something similar by itself to run some errands, attend a kid’s birthday party, or any other casual type event. I always say add a ball cap to any outfit and you’re good to go!
How to Style a Plain Black Dress?
When you have a plain black dress accessories are your best friend. You can easily accessorize your casual black dress by adding a pop of color with some fun earrings, headband, ball cap, or a fun plaid shirt around the waist can easily change up the look. I styled this casual black dress with two different styles of jackets, and then with a chambray shirt tied around my waist. Tying a shirt around your waist adds a more flattering fit look.
Jewelry is your best friend when styling any simple outfit. I love to wear fun stack bracelets and bold earrings to dress up the look. If you’re looking for something a little more casual any stud earrings will work!
What Kind of Shoes Should I Wear with a Casual Black Dress?
Next, let’s chat about what shoes to wear with your casual black dress. I am showing this casual black dress styled with booties, and sneakers. I love grabbing my favorite pair of sneakers when I am running errands and still want to look cute! Add a pair of booties to your dress to add a little bit of flair to your look.
