black formal dress midi Kos Couture DD1349 Lace Cocktail Hang Or Line Dry Lady Black Tie - Kennedy

While the dresses-with-pants trend was a notable moment in the West during the mid-19th century, women were actually wearing dresses and tunics over trousers long before that era and in many other parts of the world

While not revolutionary, swapping out Prada for another luxury household name like Tiffany, carefully matching the handbag with the rare sneakers, and highlighting the accessories against the black monochrome outfit shows the outfit was put together with a tasteful attention to details

Consider the Pant Type Not all black pants are created equal, and the type you wear affects which brown shoes work best: Dress trousers and suit pants: Pair with polished leather Oxfords, derbies, or monk straps in medium to dark brown

From little black dresses for the reception, to grand black ball gowns, the options are virtually endless
