Let's look at what makes the perfect little black dress and how

The height of fashion since 1926
Coco Chanel introduced the little black dress in 1926 and it has
become the symbol of timeless fashion. A fashion must for every
women, the appeal of the little black dress has never waned.
Other trends and fashions come and go, but you will always be
the height of chic with the little black dress.
Here are five tips to look chic for that special evening
1. Identify your key assets and show them off! You can highlight
your back, shoulders arms breasts and legs. Pick a style that
shows of your key assets
2. Choose a dress that's comfortable and fits well. Your little
black dress should allow you to move, suit walk or dance
comfortably. A knee-ish length (just above, or below) sleeveless
sheath is a safe style to buy that always looks great.
3. Choose a well-constructed dress generally light wool or silk
crepe with a lining are good and comfortable. The lining has the
advantage of smoothing your figure to give the impression of a
perfect fit.
4. Use the 3-1 ratio' to really standout - Three parts
conservative but use one for a daring touch. A daring touch
would be something like, a low cut back, a daring plunging
neckline, or a deep slit in the side. Always remember to keep
legs bare or in very sheer hose for the classiest look.
5. Accessorize your little black dress to really set off your
look. A standout bracelet, a choker, or killer heels with a slim
matching bag to add the final touch.
Versatility
A Little Black Dress is great for work as well as evening wear.
Wearing your dress with a blazer or sweater and some knee length
boots is a great look for work or an interview.
Your dress can also go on holiday with you and will be perfect
for a stunning look quickly. Be sure to choose a material that
resists wrinkles and dries quickly and you are ready for any
fashion emergency.
Before Coco Chanel made it a fashion color, black was associated
with mourning and death.

draw attention to itself and looks completely different on
different people.
