When you need to dress up a strapless sheath dress for semi-formal events like work functions, school presentations and recitals, add a tailored blazer over the top. Wear your blazer unbuttoned for a relaxed, casual look or button it up to create a polished, sophisticated ensemble. Pair this outfit with a pair of black pumps and simple pearl earrings for a complete look that's sure to impress.

For a warmer option, try a fitted cardigan over your strapless dress. Layer a soft pink or mint green sweater over your dress and team it with a delicate pendant necklace for a chic, feminine look. Then, finish your outfit with a pair of comfortable ballet flats or sandals.

The right shoes can elevate your entire look and can help to draw more attention to your face and neckline. Opt for a statement heel with unique details that make it stand out from the rest of your ensemble. Choose a heel in a bold color that complements your dress or experiment with an eye-catching style that contrasts against the dress for a truly eye-catching look.

Keeping your jewelry minimal is the best way to keep your look sleek and stylish when wearing a strapless dress. A necklace or choker that accentuates the neckline of your dress is ideal, but you can also experiment with other jewelry styles such as a dainty bracelet or layered chains. If you decide to wear a necklace, select one that is dainty and delicate so it doesn't compete with the design of your dress.
