Wardrobe Essential: LBD

The little black dress may be the most essential wardrobe essential there is. According to Tim Gunn, it is one of the 10 items everyone woman's wardrobe needs. The LBD is one item of clothing that can go almost anywhere.

Millions of LBD exist, which means there is a dress for every shape, style, lifestyle, budget, occasion and mood. Wear it alone or pair with any accessory from the simple and basic to the autantacious and extravagant. While the perfect LBD can take you anywhere, I believe that you can never have too many of them. Here are a few, in every price range to get you started. Shop on...
