Easy Ways to Accessorize a Leather Dress

Few garments offer the same level of style and visual appeal as a leather dress. This bold item is a simple yet sophisticated way to enhance your appearance. In fact, you can wear a leather dress by itself, with nothing more than a pair of shoes, for a full and complete look. But if you really want to go the extra mile, you should consider pairing it with one or more of the following accessories.

Belt

Who says you can’t wear belts with dresses? Some people assume that belts are only useful for holding up a pair of pants, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. While they are certainly useful for this purpose, belts can also be worn as a fashion accessory, adding a fun new element to your outfit. When wearing a leather dress, consider accessorizing it with a large belt. The key thing to remember is that you want to choose a belt of opposite/contrasting color of your leather dress. If you are wearing a standard black leather dress, for instance, a white belt would be a smart choice, as the two colors will contrast with one another.

Jewelry

Of course, you can also accessorize a leather dress with jewelry. Whether it’s a beaded necklace, dangle earrings, gold bracelet, gemstone rings, etc., these are all great choices.  Think about when and how you’ll be wearing a leather dress and choose the most appropriate jewelry. For formal occasions, genuine gold and diamond jewelry is preferred. But for casual occasions, you can venture into beaded pieces.

Clutch Purse

Another essential accessory that works well for leather dresses is a clutch purse. Because leather dresses are such as bold fashion statement, it’s important to choose a handbag that’s not too large or overbearing, which is where the clutch purse comes into play: they are generally small, compact, and easy to carry, making them an excellent accessory for a leather dress. Again, just remember to choose a color that flows cohesively with the rest of your outfit.

Leggings

Yep, leggings are classified as an accessory, and they are perfect to wear in conjunction with a leather dress. As we get closer and closer to winter, many women are putting up their dresses for the year. But you can squeeze a few more months out of your dresses by wearing a pair of leggings with them. Leggings will keep your legs warm while adding a new color to your outfit.
