Whether you're heading off to a class reunion or walking the decks of a cruise ship, the little black dress is a no-fail option. Look for details that flatter your shape (strapless to show off great shoulders; waist details to optimize an hourglass shape) and pick a length anywhere from mini to right below the knee for the most versatile look.
A perfect little black dress is timeless; what it lacks it up-to-the-minute trendiness, it makes up for in classic elegance. This Suzy Chin Maggie Boutique black dress is such a LBD. Its flattering easy sheath shapes and cap sleeves in the front make way for a surprising (and sexy!) plunging V in the back.
This sequined tank minidress adds lots of sparkle to the classic little black dress. Fashioned on a comfy knit body, this dress from JS Boutique comes complete with padded cups for extra coverage.
Gorgeous and flattering? This Eliza J little black dress pulls double duty with face-framing ruffles that cascade to the hem. The black satin fabric gives a subtle sheen and the bowed waist creates an hourglass shape.
