Style your black tie dress with confidence. Pair accessories that enhance, not overwhelm. Black tie dressing is about harmony. Accessories should complement your gown rather than compete with it.
For jewellery, choose one statement piece, like chandelier earrings or a statement bracelet. Shoes should be satin or velvet heels, in a neutral or metallic colour. Lastly, I recommend a structured clutch bag for a polished look.
To arrive in style, a tailored cape, feather stole or velvet wrap will elevate both style and keep you warm in chillier months.
