‘One is never overdressed or underdressed with a little black dress.’ - Karl Lagerfeld
According to numerous designers and fashionistas, a little black dress (LBD) is definitely a must-have item in your wardrobe. Being versatile, elegant, decent and exquisite, the item is just suitable for any occasion, wearing for work or leisure should be fine, and the effects will never disappoint you. Still, rue Madame still has some styling tips for you to make you look even more gorgeous!
Make sure the little black dress fits your body shape
By picking the right cut and fit, the slimming effect of a LBD can be enormous. The classic knee-length LBD can showcase your seductive feminine waistline, whilst the lovely A-shape LBD reveals your long and straight legs. Looking for a little black dress of different cuttings? Let’s see what Whistles, Vanessa Bruno, Sweaty Betty, Berenice offers!
Little black dress of different textures suits different occasions
Besides the silhouette, texture and fabrics should also be carefully picked as a high-quality LBD can bring you a super luxe style. The sheer silky LBD is undoubtedly elegant and nice-looking, a lace one can be tempting, whilst a cotton piece is suitable for some more casual instances, like poolside parties. Here are some good examples from Sea New York, Berenice and Hobbs.
