The little black dress, fondly referred to as LBD is every woman’s best pal, its there, been there and always will, this must have dress is the answer to every "What should I wear to...” question. From cocktail parties to holiday parties, school reunions to a girl’s night out.

A little black dress is an evening or cocktail dress, cut simply and often quite short. It knows no social, style or size boundaries. Whether it is a size 2 or a size 22, it is still a little black dress.

When buying this little dress, Comfort should be your main concern. Unless you are comfortable, you won’t be able to make a statement. So, before you buy the dress, try it on and walk a bit. If the dress is comfortable enough to allow good movement and elegant posture, it is good enough to buy. Opt for a good brand and remember the dresses with lining are always a better option.

If you have an hourglass figure, anything will work for you, but if you have flaws like bigger waist or petite figure, go for dresses, which would hide your flaws and accentuate your assets. Make sure that whatever dress you choose you are comfortable in it. For example, if you are not comfortable wearing low-cut dresses, then buying a plunging neckline LBD will only make you more uncomfortable. Remember that the main accessory is you and not your dress.

Another thing you should consider when buying this dress is the occasions on which you would be wearing it. If you plan to wear the dress for casual parties, you can go for strappy or off-shoulder dresses. A sleeveless, knee-length dress would be a good option for an office party

Because black is so classic, chic, and wearable, it’s easy to disguise a cheap dress with more expensive accessories! Don’t discriminate just because a dress is inexpensive. Feel free to play with high and low pieces here to create a one of a kind, look.

Feel free to adorn the look with sparkly earrings, bag and cover-up because the simple black dress carries accessories well. When it comes to essentials, the little black dress is an undeniable must for every lady. Depending on the style you choose, the classic LBD can bail you of any situation.
