Every woman has (or should have!) the iconic "little black dress” hanging in their closet.

It is the one piece of clothing that, if chosen right, can save the day every time when you can't decide on something in particular to wear and you also want to be a stunner.

For it to fulfill its duty properly, you should choose one which perfectly fits your silhouette, style and personality.

However, if your skin is porcelain white, avoid black clothing since it will make you look even paler.

But you should still find a little-black dress equivalent to keep in your closet at any time.

As far as the shoes go, you can opt for a pair that contrasts the dress (in red or gold) or one which enhances its seams.
The shoes to match a black dress should be of an excellent quality.

They should be round - shaped and with a high heel or you can opt for sandals with a few straps, to keep it classy.


Here are the looks you should aim for.

The sexy look

The little black dress can be provocative without it being too revealing.


Choose a sophisticated fabric, like silk or satin.

Make sure it has a V-neck (not too deep) , it is form fitting and knee-length.


The classic look

If you usually go for the classics then you should choose a simple dress.

The dress to go for is sleeveless, with a square décolletage and bare shoulders.

The perfect length is just above the knees. You can wear it for a casual night out or a romantic encounter.


The retro look

If you are a sucker for vintage or retro looks then you have to choose between a mini-dress or a baby-doll dress made of taffeta or chiffon.

Also, you should look for dresses with an asymmetrical neckline and flounces that give up a retro-chic vibe.


The evening look

This is the one that will get all eyes on you and make you ravishing.

The perfect evening gown is long to the ground, sleeveless, with some precious crystals.

If you opt for a simple evening gown, than you should take your chances with accessories that give away a hint of luxury and class.

A very daring gown was presented in the Vera Wang s/s collection of 2012.

As you can see in the picture, it has an asymmetric cut (short in the front and ground-length in the back).

The top part is very bold and leaves your shoulders bare. This one is a statement dress that will definitely draw all eyes on you.
