6 Little-Black-Dress Outfits For Every Aesthetic

Here's how to style the wardrobe staple for any occasion.

The little black dress is perhaps one of the most beloved wardrobe staples of all time. Whether you prefer a sleek, clingy mini à la Saint Laurent or a more festive look, the LBD is never the wrong answer.

During this time of year, it may feel like glitter and vibrant hues are a qualifier for the celebratory season. But what makes the little black dress favorable over overwhelming metallics and noisy sequins is its year-round appeal and multitude of styling possibilities.

Below, check out six chic LBD-based outfits for almost every kind of occasion and aesthetic.

Not every little black dress has to be tight and fitted. Try a babydoll silhouette for a feminine tea-time-esque look.

Say goodbye to a cinched look and hello to drop-waist silhouettes. If you're looking for a casual LBD to emulate the cool-girl style of today, try this Tove Studio mini paired with your favorite loafer.

Sometimes, less is more. For a more elevated take on the classic, pair a high-neck design with color-complimentary accessories and a simple drop earring.
