WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A LITTLE BLACK DRESS FOR SUMMER:

1. Look for LBDs in lightweight fabrics like cotton and linen. These materials are breathable, keeping you cool even during the hottest days. Not only will you look stylish, but you’ll also feel fresh and comfortable throughout the day.
2. Experiment with different silhouettes that suit your style and flatter your figure. A summer LBD can be a flowing maxi or midi dress, a flirty sundress, a sleek sheath dress, or a playful tennis dress. Select the silhouette that enhances your best features and makes you feel confident.
3. Enhance your look with the right accessories. LBDs can be a little understated. Pair your dress with stylish sandals, wedges, or espadrilles to achieve a casual wear yet sophisticated look. Add a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and a woven handbag for a touch of effortless chic.
