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!

A Little Black Dress With Drama

Who said all little black dresses had to be basic? Part of being versatile and timeless is also brining enough style to sustain you for months on end. The best part is that you can still leverage the simplicity most have to offer, while not sacrificing the latest trends. A great example of this is with the AREA Black Acetate Mini Dress. While it’s definitely on the simple side of styles, it can also be easily manipulated to pair well with your favorite trendy accessories. Better yet, LBDs pair very well with different textures, especially in rich hues. So if you’re looking to throw in a new pair of heels or a handbag into the mix, you’ve come to the right place. Your biggest little black dresses wishes have been granted!
