LBD Options for the Summer Season

Cocktails, fundraisers, weddings, formals. They don’t stop just because the calendar says “Summer.” So, if your planner is filling up fast and you’re at a loss as to what to wear to these events, don’t fret! The Little Black Dress can definitely be worn in the summer. Just be careful!

Pick the Right Fabric!

A silk, a jersey, a cotton. These are all great fabrics for the summer and they’re even better for a little black dress. In the Fall/Winter season the LBD is great in a cashmere or wool, but wow would that be hot! Add some extra beading to the fun, light, and airy fabric and you’ll be set! For example, this Nanette Lepore Cleopatra Colorblock dress. The cutout detail is super funky and the dropped waist is absolutely stunning. The color blocked sleeves are an extra fun too. The dress is $395.

Fit

Go for a fun fit. Something body hugging, strapless, sundress-y…it can work! Don’t forget that the summer means that there are no rules! Fun, summer, parties, let’s go! Try this La Rok  Tulip Petal Dress with the fun skirt and comfortable top it’s a go for many events.

Accessorize!

“Don’t wear a black dress to that wedding! It’s summer!” That’s what i heard earlier this week while picking out a dress for a wedding I have to attend later this month. But why not? Yes, it’s summer, but, if you put some bright earrings, some awesome neon heels and an even better headband why should you not go with black? It’s like always betting on black…it’s always a winner. Accessorizing is the way to go with the DVF One-Shoulder Jersey Dress. It’s super versatile and with those chic heels or flashy earrings this dress will be the talk of the dance floor.
