Luxe For Less Little Black Dresses That Wow
Black cocktail dresses are one of those go-to’s pretty much everyone owns but just because they’re a classic doesn’t mean your closet doesn’t need a refresh every now and then. They don’t have to cost a bomb to look chic or stylish, I’ve found lots of stunning styles for under $100. So if you’re looking for something new, these pretty LBD’s are the most on trend styles to shop this season. I always find it hard to pick just one item but at this price point you don’t have to. My eyes always get drawn to the most glam and feminine styles so I always end up with a wardrobe full of cocktail dresses. Here’s my top picks for the best black mini and midi dresses to add to your closet this season.

It’s all in the details when it comes to wearing LBD’s to make sure they don’t fall flat or get lost in the crowd. Look for trending details like sheer panels, cut outs, bows and crystal embellishments.
AREA NYC does some of the prettiest sexy and crystal embellished designer versions but there’s lots of similar styles that are a lot more affordable that I’ve added below.
20 best black mini dresses under $100
Lulus and ASOS are my go to’s for affordable fashion. Revolve is normally more expensive but I found some stunning styles for under $100 (some on sale, some not) too.
All of these stores have fab return policies, so you’re not stuck with something that doesn’t fit, unless they’re final sale.
This black off the shoulder dress from Lulu’s runs slightly big so size down if you can. I need to take mine to my tailor and I’m forever pulling mine up, not a good look. What I do love is how stretchy it is for holiday party eating, drinking and dancing and how flattering it is.
These are some of the styles I have favorited right now. Not that I need any more LBD’s but it’s always fun to wear something new and at least with my birthday and the holiday season coming up there’s lots of excuses to wear them.
10 best black midi dresses under $100
This black midi dress was such a great sale find for under $100. It looks and feels a lot more expensive and is beautifully structured. The corset style is also right on trend.
Midi dresses can be tough to pull off. If you’re petite like me, stay away from kitten heels with this hem length and style your black midi dresses with stilettos, platforms or a heel higher than 3″.
How to give your black cocktail dresses an update for FW 2022-2023
If you want to give your LBD a quick update to make it look more on trend for FW 2022-2023, just add coordinating opera gloves. They elevate any dress and are a major trend this season. Which is also great for those of us who always have cold hands.
What does LBD mean?
It stands for little black dress.
