10 ways to wear the ‘Little Black Dress’ (LBD)

I love LBDs. You can never go wrong with a black dress. The little black dress is timeless, an essential piece in every woman’s closet. It always looks good and you can wear it every day if you want to. The little black dress comes in many styles and you can wear it in many different ways.

Here are 10 ways to wear the little black dress:

Have Breakfast at Tiffany’s – Audrey Hepburn rocked the little black dress with layers of pearls in Breakfast at Tiffany’s.  Inspired by this classic beauty, take the little black dress and pair it with a fabulous set of pearls. This is perfect for any fancy occasion including formals or fancy dinners.

Make It Casual – Want to wear the little black dress to class or out to lunch with the girls? Dress the little black dress down with a scarf. Wear bright colors like this season’s teals and pinks, or go neutral with a sand or grey color. This outfit will go perfectly with a pair of flats.

Sparkle It Up With A Vest – Afraid that the little black dress may be a little bland for a party or concert? Put a little sparkle into your little black dress. Accessorize it with a sparkly vest to transition your black dress from plain to fabulous with a pair of funky heels.

Make it Professional – Wear a blazer with your little black dress so you can wear it to work or to an important interview. Go with the season’s bright colors like yellow, light blue, or purple, or go with a neutral color that won’t attract a lot of attention.

Belt It -Want to add a little touch of color to your look? Add a belt to the outfit. It can be skinny or thick, neutral or colorful. A belt can add a little fun color or pattern to the outfit and break up the black.

Pair it With a Bolero – A bolero is an adorable short-sleeved jacket that’s perfect for the summer months.  Whether it’s floral, patterned, or a solid color, almost any bolero will match perfectly with your little black dress.

Bangle it Up – This outfit is simple. Just take a lot of eclectic bangles and wear them with your little black dress. They can be chunky bangles or thin bangles; you can wear one or five. It’s all up to you.

Add a Floral – Florals are perfect for almost any occasion. Just pin a flower to the side of your dress and you’re ready to go. You have the option of matching your flower with your heels, or you can choose a flower color that doesn’t match the shoe color

Wear a Clutch – A clutch can go a long way putting together an outfit. With the black dress, you can wear any accessory and carry any clutch. Pick out a bright clutch or even a sparkly clutch.

Wear it Plain -Just wear your little black dress plain and simple! It looks just as good without any embellishment or accessories.
