When party season springs around, it can be difficult to choose what to wear.

Will I be too dressy? Too casual? Is this outfit too much? And most importantly, do I feel good/comfortable in it?

We'll admit that sometimes the best option is just to go with our good oul friend black. And then choose the structure, and fit to match your mood.

Here's seven great black dresses that are perfect for party season:

1. The Classic

If you're heading for the classic look, this dress is perfect. With an asymmetric neckline and peplum hem, it's like buying designer on the highstreet. Team with simple black heels and your fave jewellery and you're good to go.

2. The Preppy 

If you want to add a little bit of fun and funk into your look, we'd suggest something like this. It's not your usual crochet pattern and with the flesh neckline, you'll be turning heads. This is totally on our #WishList.

3. The Glamorous

Need something for a glam night out? Then this is your best friend. Velvet is like party season's old reliable, and will look great whether you spent two hours or two minutes getting ready. And with the asymmetrical peplum waist, who's to know you ate all the cupcakes?

4. The Cover-Up

We all know it can be super chilly around party season, and coming out of *da club* at 2am is no easy feat when you're freezing. This dress not only has an on-trend neck tie, but it has long sleeves too so you're guaranteed some comfort in it, without sacrificing any style points.

6.The Shift

Now, we're not talking about the shift you get at Coppers, we're talking about the fab shift dress. This has stayed in season for so many years now purely because it suits every body type and it's really comfy. So whether you're sitting down to a big meal or grooving all night on the dance floor, the shift dress has you covered.

7. The On-Trend

If you want to go with something that is very on-trend this season, the slip dress is what you need. This Topshop one is great as it has a bit of length, but you can also put a little top underneath if you're afraid you'll be too cold.
