LBD - The Little Black Dress

Every closet needs one. Some closets have a few and the odd gal has several.

The Little Black Dress can be dressed up and dressed down. It goes classic, glamorous, cocktail, formal and with a few accessories it goes semi-formal, casual, traditional and relaxed. They work with heels, flats and everything in between.

How does it do all this you ask? Well, quite simply. Black is timeless. Black is a neutral and it works with every colour, accessory and style. A good LBD is designed just right for your body style. (These are the ones you never let go of!) They can be your go to item in your closet with a few easy style changing tips.

A couple of ideas to keep in mind when searching for the perfect LBD.

If your body style is:

Apple shaped (full in the middle) look for an empire waistline and watch you shine.

Pear shape (full lower body) explore an A-line style and you'll be perfect.

Triangle (broad shoulders) a wide-strap halter is gorgeous.

Rectangle (straight waisted) search out a semi-fitted dress for your best look.

Hourglass (balance top and bottom) find a fitted look you love - girl, if you have it, flaunt it in the LBD.

When accessorizing to dress up or dress down keep in mind which it is. Dress up? Add in the sparkle and jewel colours and formal in looks. Takin' it down? Add a scarf, shawl or more casual light weight jacket. Heels for formal and flatter for more casual.
