21 Ways Trendy Women Dazzle in a Black Dress
Why we feel that there is more than just one way to wear a little black dress (LBD), just read on and see stunning and timeless black dresses in different styles and 21 Ways Trendy Women Dazzle in a Black Dress on many different occasions.
The Little Black Dress is a classically elegant cut black dress, originally. Designers were however inspired to level up the black dress from its original style and turn it into an all-time must-have and essential item in every woman’s wardrobe. It is considered a classic of women’s fashion.
The little black dress (LBD) was originally worn as an evening or cocktail dress, it’s cut simple, chic and often quite short at approximately knee-length. I think one of the most famous little black dresses was worn by beautiful Audrey Hepburn in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” designed by Givenchy.
The origins of the little black dress date back to the 1920s designs of Coco Chanel and Jean Patou, with its intention to be timeless and versatile, according to fashion historians.
For as long as we can remember, the little black dress is considered an ultimate essential to a complete wardrobe. Most fashion stylists and observers believe that every woman should own an elegant, simple and timeless black dress that can be dressed up or dressed down depending on the occasion.
For a daytime business look you can wear the LBD with a blazer, pumps and accessorize with a scarf. For an evening occasion, cocktail dinner party or a formal event such as a wedding or ball, add some sparkling accessories such as ornate jewelry or a striking shawl.
