Summertime LBD

Classic. Versatile. Timeless. That’s the little black dress we all know and love. A closet staple if you ask me. But what’s one to do in a season where color is favored and more days are spent in the sun? Wear a summertime LBD. After all, nothing pairs better with a tan and sandals.

Below are three reasons why you need a summertime LBD if you don’t already have one, along with a small edit of the ones I’m loving this season.

Versatility

Dress it up, dress it down. Take it from day to night. Or late night to brunch. There’s no occasion where this little number won’t work.

Headed to the farmers market or lunch with friends? Pair it with a woven basket bag and your favorite leather sandals. Need something for a date night or dinner party? Throw on some heels, gold hoops and grab a clutch. You’re ready for any occasion.

Classic

A summertime LBD is just like your favorite pair of jeans: find a good one and slipping into it will bring you confidence and comfort. We’ve learned from many decades past that black is here to stay and if you find one in a classic silhouette that reflects your personal style, it will see you through all season long.

Timeless

From Bridget Bardot dancing on the beach in a black frock to today’s off duty models strutting through the city streets in them, the summertime LBD has proven its immortality again and again. And for those of us wanting to more mindfully shop or carefully curate our closets, this is one piece you’ll certainly want to have on hand.
