Little Black Dress
LBD - Your Little Black Dress
If there is something in the fashion world that goes beyond time, trends and cultures, it is the Little Black Dress. Every woman should have one. It is a very simple cut evening or cocktail dress, short and dark colored, traditionally black, which will be perfect for any occasion and matches any fashion accessory you thrown with it. Coco Chanel introduced the concept in the late 1920's and since then it has never fallen out of fashion. It is the answer to any doubts about what you should wear for any event.
Chanel's Ford
Just like Ford's Model T, the whole idea behind the Little Black Dress was revolutionary. Its intention was to create an affordable and accessible dress that would be available for every woman across any social classes or cultures, just like the T Model that was pouring out of Ford's lines of production. Even though black was considered a predominant mourning color, Hollywood made sure to turn black into a dangerous and daring color to be worn by all its divas and femme fatales. The 60's introduced the little black dress to advanced cuts and other designs, rather than the initial simpler one. During the 70's, the little black dress gained more colors and was into disco. It has been adapted to meet fashion trends, fitness crazes and musical cultures, and withstood all the challenges. Call it chic, classic and elegant. It is everything rolled in one simple concept of fashion that transcends anything that may be said about it.
What to Buy and How to Accessorize
Even though the little black dress has become much more complicated and is offered in a wide range of cuts and colors, it is always best to buy first the traditional little black dress. The length should be around your knees, not too much above the knees or below. Black, we know there are other variations, but black is black and only black will have the proper effect of a little black dress. Besides that, it is the only color that will match with practically anything else in your closet. Sleeveless sheath, there are options with small sleeves, but sleeveless is the way to go and release those shoulders, show the entire length of your arms.
Do not wear pantyhose, or if you want to, choose very sheer ones. Just like with your arms, the most impressive look with a little black dress is done by basically highlighting your legs, arms and face. If you need color, tie a scarf around your neck, or use a simple shawl with a brooch. Add drama to your black dress by wearing coats with flashy colors that will clash with the simplicity of your dress. Add elegance by using pearls; they are the perfect accessories to use with your little black dress. Use silver and gold jewelry only for evening events, during the day keep a practical and simpler look when it comes to jewelry.
Just to finish. Red lips make a killer combination with a little black dress. Do not fear to go over the top with your make up, the simplicity of the little black dress will leave all the attention focused in your face. It is the privileged opportunity to make your facial beauty stand out and release your personality through your eyes and smiles.
