How to Wear the Little Black Dress


Little Black Dress

The reason it's the perfect "little black dress" and not the perfect "little burgundy dress" is that a woman can to get the most wear out of versatile black - more than any other color - by dressing it up or down with other garments and accessories.

1. The key to successfully making an outfit for any occasion from just one little black dress is beginning with a classic shape that flatters your body type - babydoll-, mini-, and maxi-dresses aren't as adaptable as a simple, timeless cut.

2. Keep it simple: the beauty of the LBD is its unabashed minimalism. No matter how much you layer your look, stick to mostly neutral shades with a few pops of analogous accent colors.
