THE BEST BLACK DRESSES TO HAVE IN YOUR CLOSET FOR PARTY SEASON
DRESS // SANDALS // SUNGLASSES // LIP COLOR // EARRINGS
There are few wardrobe items more timeless, more essential than a great black dress. Be it a mini or a midi, minimal or bedecked in sequins, black dresses are the chicest, safe bet you’ll ever make. Their versatility is unmatched – a blank canvas that can be reinvented over and over again with different accessories.
As we head into party season (followed shortly thereafter by the holidays), black dresses become more essential than ever. They’re the ultimate default, no matter the occasion. With that in mind, there’s no better time to refresh your own selection of black sheaths. This season, the options are better than ever, and they can all be found at Saks. From casual to cocktail to black-tie-ready (and under $200!), Saks is a one-stop-shop for all of the above.
Scroll on to shop the best black dresses that will take you through party season – and beyond!
DRIES VAN NOTEN HUNEWA DRESS
This one is the definition of timeless when it comes to dresses. The silhouette is so flattering, made even more so with that sleek neckline. This is going to be my go-to for those “when-in-doubt” moments.

LELA ROSE HEART GODET DRESS
Lela Rose is a dress queen. Season after season, the designer always delivers when it comes to dresses. This lace midi is dreamy. It would make a perfect option for a wedding or any upcoming formal party.
SHOP
SELF-PORTRAIT SEQUINNED MINIDRESS
This mini is already in my closet. The sequin mini is perfect for all festive occasions. The best thing about it is that it doubles as a top worn over jeans or leather leggings.
SHOP
ZIMMERMANN LUMINOSITY SILK DRESS
I love the simplicity of this one. It needs nothing more than a pair of earrings and strappy sandals to finish off the look.
SHOP
ALICE + OLIVIA DERIKA RUCHED DRESS
This midi will take you straight from the office to a cocktail party. Wear it with flat sandals during the day and come cocktail hour, swap those out for a pair of strappy heels.
SHOP
REBECCA VALLENCE GISELE SEQUINNED DRESS
The pink sequins put a fresh spin on an otherwise classic black dress. I really love that square neckline, too. Style this one with a pair of black pumps.
SHOP
KHAITE EVELYN RIB-KNIT DRESS
With a fitted silhouette, this minimal knit number is as chic as can be. Keep the accessories simple (read: earrings or a necklace, but not both) for an elegant look.
SHOP
REISS ABBEY VELVET ONE-SHOULDER DRESS
It’s hard to tell from the photo but this dress is actually crafted in a stretch velvet, making it a perfect party option. The icing on the cake of this one-shoulder-number? The price. Snag this one for under $250.
SHOP
THEORY A-LINE MINIDRESS
With a square neckline, this mini is as classic as it gets in the world of LBDs. The best part is that it has year-round potential: wear it with sandals during the summer and, in the winter months, throw it on over a pair of black tights.
