I'll be short, and to the point. You cannot have enough black dresses in your life. They're timeless, can be worn a million times, flatter everyone and are a no brainer when you want to dress up. So, we went scouring for the best black dresses out there, and here are our top favourite types of black dresses that belong in your closet, all under 5,000 available on Nykaa Fashion.
9 Types Of Black Dresses From Nykaa Fashion To Rock This NYE
Embroidered Wrap Around Dress
A wrap dress is a must have. They're flattering, flowy, and hug you in all the right places. This one by How When Wear comes with red embroidery on the shoulders and on the hem of the dress. It makes for a great date night or even brunch dress, paired up with your favourite footwear. We'd suggest red or black heels. The fabric used is cotton which means you can easily wear it all year round too.
Bodycon With Cut Outs
Bodycon cut out dresses made a huge impact this year thanks to Euphoria's Maddy. This one by RSVP is all sorts of sexy and perfect for your next party, pair it up with tie-up heels, minimal jewellery, and you'll be sorted. The size options are super limited only going for an S to a L, which is quite a bummer.
Maxi Cape Dress
A black maxi dress is the most appropriate for a black tie event or even a cocktail party of sorts. This one by Kazo is not only top-notch quality thanks to the brand's products, but also comes with a bold cape style especially if you're someone who is conscious of their bust and prefer to have an added layer of fabric in front. The style itself is quite pretty and flattering on everyone.

Statement Sleeves
You cannot go wrong with statement sleeves also with them still being in trend. These ones are quite cape like and great for people who are conscious about their arms. The sleeves instantly add the added missing oomph to an otherwise basic body con black mini dress. Sizes start from a XS and go up to a XL while the fabric used is polyester.
Mini Dress
This riqué textured black mini dress if not worn for a new year party will be a crime. It's dainty, cute, and sexy all at once. If even an ounce of you feels you can pull this off, then don't think twice and add to cart. The sizes are XS to a XL which we feel is quite standard while the fabric used is polyester which is a strong and durable fabric meaning this will last you quite a while. Pair it up with tie-up heels or knee high boots and a trench coat to go with it.
Turtleneck Knitwear Dress
A winter fit everyone must have, a blend of two cult favourites, turtle necks and knit dresses. Knitwear is still very much in trend and this dress by LC Waikiki is testimony to that. It's body hugging and will keep you warm while dressing you up to the tens. Wear a pair of great looking boots and you'll be god to go.
Sequin Dress
Another big trend we've noticed this year which will easily spill into 2023 too is sequin. This one by AlterEGO is a 100% bling with the one shoulder asymmetrical sleeve making it all the more dressy. Under a NYE disco ball, this will look perfect if not for every other party you go to this season. Sizes range from XS and go up to a 2XL.
Satin Dress
Satin is another fabric that was seen everywhere this year and safe to say it will stick around. The fabric has a very luxe look and feel to it while it also has the ability to fall seamlessly. This one by Vero Moda is guaranteed to be good quality, sizes start from a XS and go up to an XL with a scoop neck and scrunched bottom that adds pizzazz.
Velvet Dress
The 80s and 90s trend, velvet is back. As a fabric velvet is a soft luxe looking and feeling fabric that looks super dressy. We love this body con black one from Cover Story that has a key hole neck design. Pair it with a beige trench and sky high heels and you'll be good to go to your next party. Sizes range from XS to an XL.
