Women's Black Dresses
A black dress never goes out of style and is an absolute wardrobe essential. Whether you’re drawn to a flowing black maxi dress or a timeless midi midi, you'll find your perfect number for every occasion.
If you’re after elegance with a bit of extra coverage, our long sleeve black dresses are ideal for black tie events and more reflective moments, like funerals. For sunnier days, or when you just want something light, one of our black dresses with short sleeves works a treat. They’re lovely for a casual catch-up with friends or can be drinks-ready in seconds with a pair of heels and a couple of accessories.
Add a touch of luxury to your look with a textured or embellished style. Our velvet black dresses have a dash of subtle glamour for special celebrations, or go all-out in head-to-toe sequins.
Whatever you’re dressing for, you’ll look gorgeous and feel fab in a black dress from Klass. Browse our collection to find your next go-to and make outfit planning a little easier (and a lot more stylish!).
Black Dresses FAQs
Can you wear black dresses to a wedding?
In our eyes, it’s a ‘yes’, as long as the dress code doesn’t say otherwise. (But maybe shoot the bride or groom a quick text just to be sure!)
A black shift dress is a timeless classic for a wedding and one of the comfiest options to wear all day and evening long. If you’re heading to a dressy affair, floor-length black dresses in soft fabrics, like chiffon or velvet, are particularly elegant. Keep your accessories to a minimum and your footwear simple, letting your black dress do all the talking.
Why not put a joyful spin on your outfit? After all, you’re attending an event to celebrate love and friendship! Bows, sparkles, and floral patterns are perfect for livening up this notoriously serious colour. You can also add a pop of colour through your accessories, from bright earrings to patterned shoes.
With a little sparkle, a silk shawl, and your favourite heels, you can turn pretty much any black dress into a wedding-ready outfit. Find yours in our full wedding guest collection: Wedding Guest Outfits.
How to dress up a black dress?
Dressing up a black dress is all about playing with textures, accessories, and layers to make your outfit feel as special as the occasion.
For evenings that call for a touch of glamour, a velvet black dress is always a winner. Add a touch more shine with metallic jewellery and drape a soft shawl over your shoulders for a polished finish. On cooler nights, semi-sheer tights add just the right hint of warmth and an extra dose of style.
Heading out for a girls’ night? A black midi dress with a bold belt and a leather jacket makes for a fun, confident look. Go all-out with strappy heels or keep comfy on the dancefloor in flat boots.
And for those staple black dresses that can be worn day or night, sparkly shoes, statement earrings, and a standout clutch will turn your look from laid-back to party-ready. A tailored blazer adds a smart twist that works beautifully for dinners, drinks, or celebrations, too.
