Simple, chic, and sophisticated – the LBD is a wardrobe must-have for any woman.
From classic Audrey Hepburn shifts to modern mesh and body-con dresses, we’ve rounded up the current hottest LBD’s to see you through the festive season in style.
Complete your Little Black Dress with our five favourite accessories:
1) The Tux Blazer – A velvet or wool tailored blazer is the perfect androgynous finish to your LBD.
2) Clutch Bag – Add a pop of colour and glitz with a metallic bag.
3) Killer Heels – Sorry ladies, but flats just won’t cut it with the LBD. Be brave and go for a bold leopard print, or keep it sophisticated with a classic black court.
4) Tights – We love Wolfords collection, particularly their spotty tights. Mytights.com also have a great range from 40s-inspired seamed to 60s-esque opaques.
5) Statement Jewellery – The LBD should be kept simple and chic but this doesn’t mean your jewellery has to be boring. Go for either a statement cuff or chandelier earrings.
