Number One Amendment: The Little Black Dress

I cannot stress the importance of a black dress. Any time of year or day, the LBD is vitally important. This wardrobe go-to is great for office and social settings. If you stick to a classic cut, the LBD can last your years if not decades. There are the ever-present rules, though, even for this holy of fashion holies. You will notice that this list is considerably shorter than previous ones probably due to the versatility of the LBD.



1- If you are wearing a LBD at work, keep the hemline at your knee, the material more subdued, and not sleeveless.
2- I don't advocate wearing a LBD at weddings. This can be tricky during Autumn and Winter. I tend to wear darker burgundies and browns instead.
3- LBDs give the wearer more license with creativity as far as accessories go.
4- As much as I adore Breakfast at Tiffany's, it is not appropriate to dress like Holly Golightly unless it's Halloween. You can, of course, borrow elements of her style however.
