How to Wear the Little Black Dress

Every woman has one, and it is her best friend. It is the little black dress that is perfect for unexpected dinner parties, weddings, funerals and every social event under the sun. Though every woman has a little black dress, there are some ways to spice up the way you wear it to make it seem new.

Step1

Add a belt. Especially if you have a classic sheath dress. Using a bright colored belt, or a neutral tone, is a great way to wear the little black dress with style.
Step2

Accessorize with the little black dress. Using something simple like an eye-catching clutch, or bold necklace, is a great way to wear the little black dress and show off your personality at the same time.

Step3

Wear a jacket with your little black dress to the office. It is a great way to dress up at the office without being inappropriate. This also makes it easy to transition from day to night if you are going out after work. Just take off the jacket and let your black dress shine.
Step4

Put on a pair of sassy, colorful shoes. Nothing makes a great pair of shoes stand out like wearing them with all black. Try a stunning pair of pink taffeta heels or a pair of satin maroon slides with any black dress.

Fashion tips: choosing the right cocktail dress for your figure

While you can’t go wrong with the quintessential little black dress, you can make the most of your attributes by selecting a cocktail to enhance your figure, detracting the eye from your weak spots, and drawing attention to your assets.

You can even use jewelry to draw the eye to the neckline and away from the body entirely. Follow along with our tips for selecting the perfect cocktail dress, regardless of your shape or size. When you’re dressed to kill and you know it, you’re free to relax and enjoy the occasion, spend time making merry with friends rather than wasting energy wondering how you look.

Body Shapes

Determine your body shape, and select colors and styles to suit your general shape and flatter your figure. Then experiment with the tips for each body shape until you find your best look.

Pear

Attributes include a slender and often elongated torso, small bust, with hips and thighs proportionally larger than the torso and waist.

Toss the tight straight skirt in favor of an a-line skirt or empire waistline to de-emphasize the lower half of your body. Add padded shoulders to balance the top and bottom. Select a two-toned dress with the lighter or brighter color above the waist and the darker tone below the waist.

Hour Glass

Attributes include a small bone structure and waistline with bust and hips proportionally larger than the waist: in a word, voluptuous.

De-emphasize your voluptuous, abundant curves by shedding tight-fitting clothing in favor of clothing with a looser, smoother fit. Monotone colors work best by providing a sense of continuity from head to toe. Draw as much attention away from your bust and hips as possible by accessorizing with jewelry high on the neckline. If your clothing is monotone, you can wear flashier earrings as well, which draws attention to the face and away from the body.

Wear sleeves to cover the largest part of the arm. If your lower arms are shapely, you can wear 3/4 sleeves.

BUTT ZIPPERS

Lindsay Lohan hit up the red carpet of the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards held at Paramount Pictures Studios in Hollywood last night, September 7, doing her best over-the-shoulder vampy-pout for the throngs of photographers. Why exactly she chose a VMA dress with butt zippers I do not know, but if you like the style of LL’s frock, check out Amberlynn’s very similar Midnight Maiden Dress in Plum or Ziji’s Tea Party Dress in Blue.

Later, during the show, she switched into a menswear-inspired backless tuxedo shirt and black pants, a nod to her girlfriend Samantha Ronson’s affinity for menswear, perhaps? Either way, I really wasn’t feeling either of Lohan’s outfits last night. In other LiLo news, it seems that she turned down a recent offer from Playboy to pose for the magazine per Hugh Hefner’s request.

Save your pennies, Playboy… we’ve all sent it already in LL’s Marilyn Monroe spread in New York Magazine! Instead, there are rumors swirling that Lohan has her heart set on having a child with lover Ronson, as sources say that “Lindsay’s been having deep discussions about a baby [with Sam].

She wants a natural birth and has spoken to Sam about getting one of her ex-boyfriend’s to help out. They don’t want to adopt.” That’s why it’s good to stay friends with the ex- they make great sperm donors!

From a Shirt to a Skirt: The Extremes of Androgynous Fashion

It’s one thing to take on androgynous styles like flinging on your boyfriend’s slightly oversized shirt and transforming it into a svelte shirt-dress or casually throwing on a checkered shirt atop a dress and calling it a carefree chic day. But when you take a masculine dress shirt and deconstruct it down to a distinctly feminine piece of clothing in the form of a skirt, then you’ve deftly pushed the envelope on androgyny.

Fashionably speaking, what we have here is ingenious. On first glance, I was unsure what was before me: a tattered skirt perhaps or maybe a traditional garment of Swedish culture like the kilt is to the Scottish. Curiosity got the best of me as I continued to pore over the picture a few more times and an “aha!” moment finally surfaced.

In a gutsy attempt to move away from the tedium of fashion conservatism, it came to me that this young lady from Stockholm, Sweden had decided to alter her father’s shirt into a skirt! With several folds and tucks, she was able to render a men’s dress shirt into a very complicated silhouette that serves as a skirt.

However, as I revisited the look a couple more times (I was kind of dazed and confused by it all), the complexity of the skirt became a gift and a curse. On one hand, the oddity of the skirt was a definite lure, but at the same time it seemed all too fastidious with the make-shift skirt’s undulating folds and creases.

All the same, applause is owed to the young Swede. The mere idea can only be fathomed by a few like minds—Marc Jacobs and his inverted heel pumps—that tick to the rhythm of a different drum. That being said, curiosity did kill the cat so I’m not expecting hoards of you to all of a sudden start rummaging through your boyfriends’ closet (men, breathe easy) to scrunch up his shirts into skirts, but consider this hodgepodge skirt as a rather convoluted addition to current androgynous styles women have at their disposal. Mind you, it’s not for the fainthearted!

5 best dressed at ACM

At the Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas I picked my 5 best dressed celebrities. Here they are, like it or not, that’s my choice.

#5 Jewel in yellow Mischen frock and gold sandals. This season yellow is trendy but its getting on my nerves. Too much.

#4 Julianne Hough
The DWTS star punched up her all black mod ensemble from up and coming designer Katie Ermilio with a red clutch. Classy.

#3 Taylor Swift
The Top New Female Vocalist winner glittered in Marchesa’s delicately embroidered strapless chiffon gown. Stunning, but looks like she dressed up for her own wedding.

#2 Carrie Underwood
Fred Leighton jewels, a flapper-esque Badgley Mischka platinum sheath and metallic Rickard Shah heels. Loved the dress.

#1 Nicole Kidman
A mom to be is wearing Yves Saint Laurent’s empire waist frock. She is the glam.
