Styling a Black Dress during the Summertime

Black dresses often get overlooked in the summertime but I have to say they’re still a great option! When the heat is rising I usually opt for lighter colors, but I miss how black gives that instant glamour to an outfit. When I saw this eyelet midi dress {non-maternity!} I knew it would still be a great choice for summer, especially for a casual date night! Here’s how I’m styling a black dress during the summertime:

I love how the denim jacket takes the black dress down a notch, making it a little more casual. I also opted for these strappy sandal heels in a lower wedge. They’re great for walking around and you won’t have to worry about twisting an ankle {hopefully not anyways!}. A sandal like this one is the perfect day to night choice! It also comes in a gorgeous taupe gray color!

How do you all feel about styling black dresses in the summertime? Do you do it too? I’d love to know about your styling tips!
