A little black dress is an item every girl needs in her closet – I bet you already know this. But do you know why? Because it never gets old! Learn how to pair your LBD with other clothing items and accessories to create various looks suitable for different occasions.

A little black dress – is it a cliché? Definitely not! An LBD is a classic piece you should definitely have in your wardrobe. It can look formal and casual; sexy and girl-next-door. That’s why we love it – it is so versatile! Styling an LBD look is so much fun because there are so many options.

Today we’ll style the exact same dress and use it to create five completely different looks. This dress is a classic LBD by Alexander McQueen available at coggles.com.

A Day at the Office

If you choose the right accessories, you can create a perfect look for a long day at the office. Wear your LBD with a light blazer (white is always a good choice) and a pair of platform heels. Make sure that you choose shoes you feel comfortable in. Accessorize with a matching bag and a nice watch.
