How to Accessorize a Black Tuxedo Style Dress
When your little black dress is styled after his tuxedo, accessorize to glamorize or keep it as formal as his prom outfit. Hosiery, jewelry and shoes complete your fashion statement. Necklaces are not worn, traditionally, with tuxedo-style dresses. Bow ties and neckties, or a semblance of one of these tie styles, take the place of jewelry for the neckline. Earrings, bracelets and rings, however, are totally in with the tuxedo dress. Does this Spark an idea?

Hosiery
-
Wear sheer stockings and high-heeled pumps for a formal look, or show off your legs in your short tuxedo dress with geometric or patterned hose. Hosiery transforms your black tuxedo-style dress into high fashion formal wear or fun and flirty attention-grabbing style.
Shoes
-
Keep the heels high, in accord with the formal suggestion of the dress style. However, peep toes, heel jewelry or other design features give subtle hints to your mood through your selection of shoes. Shoe detail from glitz to glamour adds to the eye-catching appeal of a tuxedo-style dress.
-
Hair
-
Sweep your hair up or spike short hair to expose your ears and give a long neckline. Style your hair in keeping with your selection of shoes, hosiery and jewelry. If flirty and fun is your style, tousle, curl or wax for an upbeat look. Wear jewelry in your hair if a smooth, formal look is your goal.
Jewelry
-
Adorn your lobes with dangling earrings when the shoulders are bare. Wear a tie or collar around your neck but leave the necklaces to accessorize other outfits. Bracelets, rings and cuff links are appropriate and can be just the accent needed to make your outfit pop.
