Very few fashion items have achieved the kind of icon status that they’re known simply by their initials. The LBD, or the little black dress, needs no introduction. It’s long been pigeonholed as evening wear, but its true beauty lies in its versatility. The best little black dress is just as easily styled with a kitten heel for night as it is with a pair of flip-flops and a straw tote for day.
Vogue’s Guide to the Best Little Black Dresses:
Whether your vibe skews minimalist or more romantic, there’s an LBD to match. And options abound across the price spectrum, from high-end labels like Gucci and Khaite, who have perfected the LBD in their own right, to more contemporary dress offerings from brands like Leset or Dôen. It’s a blank canvas you can dress up or down, layer or wear all on its own, making it one of the most hardworking pieces in any wardrobe. Shop 30+ of our favorites in the edit below.
