It's All About The Shape
You shouldn’t always write off the simple clothes, especially when it comes to little black dresses. With summer on the horizon, you’ll most likely want the least fabric on your skin as possible, and what better way to do that than with something classic and simple? That’s exactly why we’re currently loving the ET OCHS Dolly Scrunchie Mini Dress and the 3.1 PHILLIP LIM Flamenco Tiered T-Shirt Dress for obvious reasons. Although of course plain black, the silhouettes of these two looks are just what every girl needs in her closet. We all love a good versatile, timeless outfit, but we oftentimes find that they’re too basic. Luckily, these options have the best of both worlds, and deliver you a shape you’ve always been longing for. If you’re going to stick with little black dresses, go big or go home!
