Wardrobe classic: the little black dress
If there’s one dress you can count on, it’s the little black one. We’ve come a long way since the cover of Vogue premiered Coco Chanel’s LBD in the 1920s, yet the little black number is still a timeless wardrobe essential. And why shouldn’t it be? It’s a classic! From a regular day at the office to a glam night out with the girls, the LBD is the perfect go-to for an instant uplift in fabulousness! So in honour of its versatility, we show you how to take one dress and accessorise it three ways. All hail the LBD!
