Every woman who knows how to look fantastic especially in the Christmas party season should own their own LBD or little black dress.
Well this is what we're led to believe but everything about the Christmas season is full of colour and lights so why would we want to look pale and pasty? The LBD only works for a certain type of woman and is completely wrong for others.
Black is in most people's opinion's a slimming colour and we all want to look our best but it is a very dark block of colour and is not necessarily going to work for you.
It has been looked at by Trinny and Suzannah and all dark colours can slim not just black but they found that using more than one colour actually has a better effect.
Black is also sophisticated and chic and reflects a type of attitude and appearance that some women fine empowering and sexy but again certain greys can look just as professional and sexy.
Everywhere you go in the shops there will be variations of the LBD depending on which hem length and strapping you decide upon your choice of LBD could be a disaster so always take a really honest friend with you and never buy the first thing you try on, always compare a few outfit and make sure one has some colour in it to show the comparison.
The real reason people stick to black is because it's safe and it's available, and especially the women you always have shoes to match a LBD.
