Do you have a casual occasion? Then take your little black dress out of the closet and style it with a black leather jacket and sneakers. Opt in advance for thicker materials that give your outfit a casual look. Think of materials such as the aforementioned leather, but also coarse knitted wool, suede, bouclè and corduroy.
The flatter the shoes, the better, so if you don't want to wear sneakers, choose boots, for example. Thicker tights or tights in winter also ensure that your LBD is casually styled.
As far as accessories are concerned, you also have to go more coarse here. So opt for a large handbag and large jewelry. For the jewelry you can use natural materials or, for example, acrylic. This jewelry can certainly be an eye-catcher, because your dress is not necessarily the center of your outfit.

Make up is certainly allowed and possible, but keep it limited and as natural as possible.
