The little black dress has become the essential piece that nearly all women can agree on. The prefered style of a LBD differs greatly from person to person, but you would be hard-pressed to find a woman today without one in her wardrobe. Yet I rarely see the LBD used to its full potential. It seems that many women only pull out this piece for cocktail parties, weddings or other special events. If you feel beautiful and confident in your LBD, there is no reason not to wear it on a regular basis.
Here are five ways to style your favorite LBD so you don't look overdressed for your everyday life:
1. Pair with colored tights, a skinny belt worn at the waist and a colored cardigan (I like to match my tights to my cardi). Finish off the outfit with black riding boots for a chic lunch-date look. Keep jewelry to a minimum so the outfit feels more relaxed. Not sure what pop of color to try? Teal is perfect for fall!
2. Layer a white oxford underneath a black sheath dress. Cuff the sleeves of the oxford and belt at the waist. Accessorize with a narrow bracelet and a basic black pump.
3. Wear a light brown tweed jacket over your LBD and cuff the sleeves once. Pair with grey tights and light brown riding boots for a mix of neutrals that is anything but boring.
4. Pair with a plum cardigan and flats. Button the cardigan at least halfway up and accessorize with a patterned scarf.
5. Layer a striped long sleeve tee underneath a black sheath dress. Belt at the waist and finish off the outfit with grey tights and black riding boots.
Pro Tip: The easiest way to dress down your LBD is with a casual shoe (flats, riding boots, etc.) and by layering with long sleeved shirts, sweaters and/or tights.
