As a firm believer that footwear easily makes or breaks an outfit, I think the right shoe type can take your black dress outfit to the next level

This combination is ideal for cocktail parties, holiday gatherings, or evening weddings where you want to catch the light without wearing a gown

Cool details like transparent block heels or mesh details are certainly encouraged
