The Little Black Dress (LBD) is possibly THE most versatile piece you can buy. You will get more wear per pound out of this little number than you will out of any other item in your wardrobe. Why? Because of these secrets:

IT NEVER DATES
No matter what trends are talked about the LBD is always in fashion. This makes it the ultimate Slow Fashion piece. A classic shape will take you from season to season and year to year.

LAYER IT BABY
Dress it down by layering a long sleeved polo, add a zing colour through tights or leggings, wrap it up in a chunky knit or coat, and layer it more with scarves, arm warmers and knitted hats. You simply can’t go wrong by adding layer upon layer.

IT GOES WITH EVERYTHING
Black is perennially chic and goes with all colours. Forget those old fashion rules about not wearing black with brown or navy – these are over. You can wear black with anything! And, if you are worried that it drains you, just add a lifting colour near your face through a scarf , a polo or a pair of earrings.

The LBD is so easy to throw on and off you go. There is no need to match a top to a bottom. It’s ideal for those wardrobe crises and any at days as the LBD seems to miraculously pull you together for a chic evening look that will give you the ultimate confidence.
