The Little Black Dress

The little black dress is one of the ultimate staple items in most women's wardrobes. It makes an ideal workwear outfit teamed with a cardigan and some flats and can easily be transformed ready for a night out by adding a pair of heels, a smart blazer and some statement jewellery. 

With Christmas parties to attend when could be a better time to invest in a new LBD which can be worn throughout the New Year!

These are my top 10 little black dresses available on the high street now

I love the studded detailing on the Oasis shift dress and the jewelled collar on the Rare dress. The glittery dress from Dorothy Perkins and beaded lace dress from Matalan are perfect for adding your own accessories to transform them. 

A little black dress can be styled in numerous ways and will see you through season after season. 

Do you have a go-to LBD?

  1. I love LBDs a little bit too much I think haha, pretty much all my going out dresses are black! My favourite one is from Dorothy Perkins, I'm going to be so sad when I finally have to chuck it out because I've worn it to much!
    Love all the dresses you've picked, I think 2 and 3 are my favourites.

  10. You really can't beat a good LBD. I have two of them that I basically depend on. Whenever I need something in a hurry, I can count on those two dresses to pull me through.

  11. I officially need a little black dress. I don't want it to be simple and blah though. And none of these choices of yours are blah whatsoever! They all have a little something special. Number five is my absolute favorite!

  12. LBDs are so classic! I recently styled one for the matalan style project challenge but it was harder than I'd thought. The sheer Oasis one about half way up is especially gorgeous, great selection! ♥ Claire @ Jazzpad

  13. @Gillian Haha ahh no I hate it when something gets too worn so you should really throw it out, it makes me want to find an exact replacement when it's a favourite dress! I love the lace h&m one and velvet dress too, I want to buy them all! x

    @Sarah I love no4, it's so elegant and no6 is a total bargain, I bet I'd wear it loads too. Lets buy them all, yeah?! x

    @Emma Hehe I think you need to treat yourself to no2 then! x

    @Bonnie An LBD has resolved many an outfit crisis for me too! x

    @Emily Ahh thank you hun, I adore no5, there's so many dupes of the sheer spot Stella dress on the high street now but this is my favourite ! x
