The Little Black Dress

“One is never over-dressed or underdressed with a Little Black Dress,” said fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld. And therein lies the beauty of the “LBD.” It is ideal for any occasion. Play it simple by wearing it with a black suit jacket, sheer lip-gloss and a pair of pumps and you are ready to chair a business meeting in the day. But turn it up in the evening and the same dress can be worn with diamond accessories, stilettos and a brighter lip. Alternatively, make it playful by pairing it with flats, knee high boots or sneakers and you are ready to pound the streets. The sheer versatility of the dress is staggering. Very few things in fashion have stood the test of time but the “LBD” has become a wardrobe essential for more than a century.
