One is never overdressed or underdressed with a little black dress – Karl Lagerfeld.

I couldn’t agree more with the quote above. I overheard a friend of mine say “there is nothing sexier than a man in suit”. It got me thinking and I concluded that there is nothing hotter than seeing a lady in a short black dress with heels and a clutch to match.

In fact, I’d have to add that it’s a wardrobe necessity—a must-have item for any woman who wants to dress her best.

A Little Black Dress is a simple, often quite short dress. It is most times an evening or cocktail dress, and could also be a formal wear. You can never go wrong with a little black dress. The exciting thing about the little black dress is that it could be paired with any gorgeous shoe, complemented with a statement accessory or a brooch to make it pop.

Have you noticed you feel a certain kind of confidence and look really smart in a Little Black Dress? Well I have, and it’s something I usually reach out for when I need to make a statement and also feel comfortable.

Here are some tips to pick the right Little Black Dress:

Know your body shape and pick a style and cut what flatters your shape

Knowing your body size helps you to choose that dress because you don’t want to be showing too much when you don’t have the right body size. The little black dress fits everyone, you just need to take your time in choosing that dress.

Be sure it plays up your feminine side, reflects your personal style and is age appropriate for you.

The aim of going through the trouble to get the dress is to keep it little, presentable, smart and not revealing too much. The body has to say it all for you.

If you can only afford one little black dress then choose a classic silhouette.

If you can only afford just one dress, then choose a classic silhouette. One that would stand the test of time. One that in three years to come it would speak volumes when you wear that little black dress.

Always accessorize your little black dress with modern elements, creating multiple looks for day and night.

The amazing thing about a black dress is that it can be worn in the day and evening time. All you need is the right accessory for that occasion. Accessorizing your little black dress differently gives you multiple occasions each time you wear the dress.

Be sure it fits you perfectly! A tailor can help; they’ll make your little black ‘magically’ fit!

Lastly, the black dress has to fit and show the gift of feminine nature you have been blessed with. So in choosing make a great choice and get a designer or a dressmaker to make it fit. Wear that little black dress to a dinner anytime and I will bet you will be the center of attraction once you are on point with your accessory, a cute clutch to match and those high heels to bring out your confidence. Wear it often and just have fun with it!
