1. The LBD and a statement accessory
The right statement piece would take your outfit from basic to elevated in seconds. We advise statement pieces, whether it is a neckpiece, earrings, chic gloves or colourful shoes. Whichever you choose, the results are the same, a perfect LBD dress ready for the runway.

2. The LBD and print
Nothing improves a plain LBD much better than pairing with some print. We absolutely love a good print, so opt for snake print boots or a patterned scarf. Your LBD and prints are besties.

3. LBD and stockings
Think Paris, think dresses paired with stockings. We love a good stockings moment, and it elevates your Little Black Dress.
Think Princess Diana’s revenge look.
