Fashion 101: The LBD

No matter the occasion or the time of year, one can never go wrong with a chic and timeless little black dress. There is beauty in simplicity. Leaving room for experimentation, an LBD is the perfect piece to re-style and re-wear time and time again. Here are some of our favorites right now that we know you will adore, too.

The Landscape Dress by STAUD 

This babydoll mini dress has been all of the rage this season, and we can see why. With a stunning velvet skirt and an ever-so-flattering corset top, this dress is nearly perfect. STAUD’s quality is unmatched, and this dress will last you a lifetime, making it the perfect repeat piece that will never lose its sublimity.

Ruched stretch-jersey mini dress by Norma Kamali 

For a more laid back look that is still elegant and refined, this dress is definitely a contender. With built in shorts and a stretch jersey fabric, this mini is ideal for all-day wear that can be taken from day to night with a fun little jacket and a quick shoe change.  

Maves Satin Dress by Reformation

This dress, in true Reformation style, is striking, sophisticated and sustainably made. Crafted with an eco-friendly silk alternative, this strapless mini is beyond flattering, defining your body’s shape without being too tight or revealing. From a cocktail party to a family gathering, you’ll look exquisite in this dress no matter the occasion. 

The Amali Dress by LPA 

Whoever said the LBD has to be plain was clearly mistaken. This gown from LPA is a work of art, with cut-outs lined in stones and a tie-up detail featured on the back. This dress is essential for your next special event, guaranteed to demand some attention. 

The Puzzle Dress by Amanda Uprichard 

It’s all fun and games with this dress from Amanda Uprichard, and we couldn’t be any more obsessed with it. With an eccentric take on your typical shift dress, this LBD is playful and unique while still being appropriate for a more formal occasion. Pair it with a strappy black heel or a vibrant pair of pumps for a pop of color, and you’re ready to take on the night. 

No matter where we may be going, no matter the time or place, one thing's for certain: a little black dress will never steer us wrong. We hope you love these elevated takes on the classic LBD as much as we do here at The Edge.
