10 little black dresses that will stand the test of time
Little black dresses are the one wardrobe staple every woman needs in her closet.
Its status as a fashion must-have was cemented when Coco Chanel and Audrey Hepburn put their stamp of approval on it. Whether you have a job interview coming up or birthday party to attend, the LBD is that one item you can easily pull out of your closet to wear.
The little black dress is essentially a blank canvas. Dress it up or down with a quick shoe or accessory swap. For work, simply add a blazer, knee-high boots and silver stud earrings. If you’re dressing up for a date night, jazz it up with a pair of pumps and crystal drop earrings. With wedding season ahead of us, an LBD is your stress-free answer for what to wear for the upcoming events.
