As we approach the party season, no wardrobe is complete without a “little black dress” (or a LBD).

Outfit of the day: Little black dress

The Little Black Dress (LBD) never goes out of fashion and is the simplest, most foolproof way to select your outfit whether you’re going to a semi-formal, formal event or a night on the town!

The simplicity of the colour palette enables you to experiment with glamorous fabrics, such as lace, mesh, silk and crushed velvet, as well as with the cut of the outfit from sexy side-slits to elegant long dresses. And if all this isn’t enough to tempt you to try this look it’s also very slimming!
