The mini black dress is so indispensable that it has its abbreviation. It is one of the few pieces of clothing that can be said to be universally well-liked by everyone, regardless of their taste, the weather, or the occasion.
Audrey Hepburn popularized the little black dress (LBD) in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, but Coco Chanel initially introduced it nearly a century ago. However, few of us can afford the roughly half-million-pound Hubert de Givenchy gown just auctioned off.
The good news is that many alternatives are available on the high street; we’ve picked out some of our favourites and some designer dresses to get you through the fall and into cooler climes.
As the colder months approach, it can be not easy to gracefully transition our wardrobes into storage, making everyday staples the bedrock for stress-free dressing.
There is an almost endless selection of designs available, with M&S, Femme Luxe, Anthropologie, and All Saints releasing their fall/winter collections and more high-end labels like Self-Portrait and Nanushka entering the new season as well. But the difficulty frequently lies in determining how to get started.
We’ve rounded up our favourite black dresses of the season, which come in various lengths and silhouettes (mini, midi, maxi, and our new favourite, maxi).
And whether you pair your little black dress with platform heels for a night of dancing, knee-high boots for braving the storm, or your reliable trainer for the office, you can rest assured that you will enjoy wearing them for many years to come.
