Staple #1 – The LBD (Little Black Dress)

It’s the item you can dress up with a pair of heels or down with a summer sandal. These days you will even see many fashion bloggers teaming an LBD with a pair of sneakers. Tread carefully with this trend as you don't want to look like you just went jogging in your LBD.

You can wear it to the office or out for lunch on Sunday. It is incredibly versatile and because of this every woman should own one!

Don’t be afraid to invest in your LBD. It won’t outdate…EVER!! If you think about cost per wear it may well be your best investment yet. Having said that, you can find an LBD almost anywhere, in various styles and to suit every budget.

Now without any further ad due here’s which style of LBD suits your body shape…

Pear: A halter neck broadens your shoulders which in turn places them in line with your hips creating the perfect hourglass figure.  

Apple: Anything that has an empire cut neckline (cuts under the bust) is ideal. This is generally the smallest part of your waistline so creates flatteringly perfect curves. A “V” neck elongates your upper torso too!

Hourglass: You already have the “ideal” body shape so there is nothing more flattering on you than something that is figure hugging to show off those perfect curves.

Rectangle: Peplum and A-line dresses make it look like rectangles have feminine curves...or hips to be more specific. If you are a rectangle these styles will create the illusion of a perfect hourglass shape. 

Next time we tackle jeans!!
