Net-a-Porter Has Over 700 Black Dresses—These 29 Are the Prettiest
A question asked by no one ever: How many black dresses is too many? The limit does not exist, in my opinion. While it's important to have boring LBDs in one's wardrobe, there are also tons and tons of interesting, beautiful black dresses to choose from—especially on Net-a-Porter.
As the headline states, Net-a-Porter has a whopping 769 black dresses to choose from, and I think it goes without saying that it's not easy to narrow things down from there, as its buyers really know what they're doing. Each dress has, undoubtedly, been carefully selected, and on a recent fall trend presentation that I attended, NAP's team forecasted that "black is back."
As someone who loves both pretty black dresses and Net-a-Porter, I thought it would make perfect sense for me to narrow down the options to the cream of the pretty-black-dress crop. Scroll on to shop the ones that delighted me the most.
This Columbian brand's black dresses are destined for a swift sellout.
The perfect vacation dress, found.
This one's all about the wow factor.
I regret to inform you that this one is almost sold out.
This comfortable option can also be worn off the shoulder.
The fact that this is less than $400 makes me happy.
My love for this Reformation dress is strong.
No jewelry is needed when you're wearing this one.
This drop-waist dress is giving off ballerina vibes.
This is one that could be dressed up or down.
All eyes will be on whoever wears this dress.
The pleats on this are so pretty.
This Sleeper hit will never go out of style.
This would work with so many different shoe styles.
The chain accents set this apart from all the other cutout dresses.
