Ashley Graham Just Schooled Us on How to Make an LBD Look Trendy

If you need some photogenic advice on how to make a black dress look chic and trendy in the summer, look no further. Ashley Graham was recently out for a date night in NYC wearing a breezy black-midi-dress outfit that was far from boring. As you know, a black dress is one of the easiest things you can wear in life. It's also one of the most fun things to style, as it's a blank canvas that can be dressed up or down and melds beautifully with any and every style type.

If you want some midsummer black-dress styling inspiration, Graham provided it in spades, and it's all about the accessories. To her black dress, she added an adorable pink mini bag, strappy low-heel sandals, a scrunchie, and chunky gold jewelry. Trendy but not over the top is the result when it's all said and done, and it's the perfect LBD look, so take notes and scroll to shop the required elements.
