As a fan of the strappy sandals, I find that the decorative straps can really make the outfit more elegant. So I was like, what if the straps are part of the dress and not part of the shoes? Of course there is such an item and it is the black strappy dress. When I did my research to compile this list of the best strappy black dresses, I found that there are so few pictures and discussions about the strappy dress. I took a little more time to finish this blog post and I hope that this is something good and useful for you.

To style a dress that looks so striking on its own, you can simply wear it with a pair of black heels and a black handbag.
