The newlyweds, who tied the knot in LV two weekends ago, have been see across the city of love on their post-wedding vacation, and Lopez’s looks keep improving.

There was a floral Oscar de la Renta gown (unexpectedly pair with sheer white flip-flops). When she wore two romantic Reformation-era dresses side by side, and now a simple black maxi paired with not-so-Simple Heaven-high heels, with true J.Lo style. The singer’s elegant gown is a prime example of less is more, and the understated look is a style all should have in their summer wardrobe.

While white dresses are trendy in summer, black dresses offer some severe advantages this time of year:

  • Dark colors are always flattering.
  • They are sweat stains.
