14 Stunning Black Dresses for Every Type of Teen

Black dresses go with everything.

Whether you're struggling to decide what to wear on a date, to homecoming or on a girls' night out, a little black dress is a versatile staple that will never let you down. You can pair them with everything from vintage boots to everyday sneakers, colorful sunnies, a sequin bag, a leather coat and even your favorite hat. A black dress (or several) is essential to every wardrobe, and it can be worn year-round.

So, we've rounded up a few fabulous options to help you find the perfect one for you. Let's take a look.

This bodycon dress has a modest one-shoulder design with a slinky style and ruched sides for a sleek and sophisticated look.
