Black Pleated Dress Outfit for Summer
Doesn’t this black pleated dress give you greek goddess vibes? It’s such a simple silhouette yet the pleats add interest and a flattering shape to an otherwise simple dress – one that you can wear for years to come. This dress also looks elegant because of its high neck, thicker straps, loose fit and a-line / tent / smock shape. You could also belt it if you want more of a shape. Tip: Loose, black dresses can be your friend in the summer especially if you tend to feel swollen, bloated, sweat and/or tan. I added gold strap sandals (with or without a heed), gold bangles and statement earrings to complement the greek style.
