4 The Little Black Dress
- Karen Millen, Matt & Shine Dress, $380
A classic LBD can take you from the office to a cocktail reception in a matter of hours. SJP it up with a chunky necklace full of baubles and sparkles or Jackie-O it down with a basic cardi and single strand of pearls.
To keep your LBD classic, look for one with a higher neckline as neckline trends come and go. Also, the hem should sit slightly above your knees when standing–keep that LBD classy rather than trashy.
It should be made of a sturdy but lightweight fabric like a cotton/rayon blend or thin wool. Avoid heavy wool fabrics that counteract the slimming effects and limit wear during the warmer seasons.
DVF and Karen Millen (above) design gorgeous dresses, but so do J-Crew and Banana Republic (below).
