LBDs are sleek and sexy, but if you’re wearing them right, they’re just backdrops for accessorizing, canvases to be adorned. In honor of New Year’s Eve, don’t merely pull out your usual jewels and bag; there are ways to completely revamp and up your LBD game, and I’m sharing a few of my favorites here. With any of these embellishments, no one will even be looking at your dress!
Fur Collar
Bex Nyc Faux Fur Collar: Any time you add fur into the mix, it takes over, and with added chains keeping this collar in place, you won’t have to worry about repositioning it all night. On Shopbop for $70.
Statement Necklace
Adia Kibur Kennedy Necklace: A bib necklace changes the entire neckline, making it seem like part of the dress, and thereby making the dress like new again! On Shopbop for $85.
Cape Jacket
Bb Dakota Janae Crepe Cape: I love capes of all kinds. Wear this with your LBD, then repurpose it with jeans for a more casual look. On Shopbop for $105.
Unexpected Belt
Erika Cavallini Structured Fabric Belt: There’s a sense of formality that goes along with a cummerbund-esque belt, and the fact that it’s also slimming is a major bonus. Get this in black to make it seem like part of your dress, or if you’re feeling fiery, go red. The prices are so good that you can get both, and switch it up depending on your mood. On Farfetch for $102.52.
Body Chain
Laura Cantu Bronze Tone Body Chain: This is by far the boldest choice, but also the most spectacular. Make sure to pair it with a fitted dress – and that your shoes are worthy co-stars, like these mega-discounted Tabitha Simmons sandals! On Shopbop for $59.
