How to style it

One note per detail, from our short style library.

Strapless
A short necklace or none. Drop earrings fill the open neckline.
Sequins and shine
Let the shine lead: plain shoes, one pair of earrings, nothing else that sparkles.
Black
Black takes any metal: pick gold or silver and repeat it.
