It’s no secret that when it comes to rescuing yourself from being termed the next fashion victim from the Fashion Queen herself, Joan Rivers, when in doubt turn to your “ Little Black Dress.” Like a true friend, devoted husband, or steamy love affair, it’s always available, ageless in style , and can create a powerful impression. However, not everyone knows how to how transcend beyond the “LBD” of Audrey Hepburn into a fashion forward Fashionista of 2014. Today, I’m going to get out my little black book of style, and share with you 8 chic new ways to wear this timeless frock!
BE ON TREND
You can always be on trend with any item. A fashion staple like the LBD is easy way to apply what’s trending. Designers this year are creating the LBD by mixing interesting fabrics such as mesh, sheer, and lace. Buying a LBD in a style that has variation of one or more of those fabrics mixed in with a more common thread along with embellishments like beading is an easy way to be trendy. This concept has been termed Black Magic from Spring New York Fashion week.

ACCESORIZE R US
Let your accessories do the talking when it comes to wearing a black dress. Wearing a statement necklace with a LBD can make a powerful impression. A LBD is the perfect, chic, and subtle canvas for a statement necklace or bejewled collar necklace for any formal event. For a more uniform look, make sure your necklace and earrings match your purse and shoes.
SPLASH COLOR
A touch of color can instantly brighten up any LBD and give it a whole new look. Whether it's in the form of earrings such as I did, a belt, clutch or shoes it’s a great way to give the LBD an instant pick me up!
WALK THE SEXY SIDE
The LBD is still one of the few fashion items that allows us to embrace the concept “Dare to Bare.” I did just that by choosing a cut out black dress from Necessary Clothing. Designers have taken this notion full force by coming out with styles such as cutouts, one shoulder, bustier, mirco minis, halter, and the list goes on. With so many styles to choose from why don’t you walk the wild side?

RUN IN THE NUDE
I know what your thinking is she out of her mind. Ladies, not so fast please don’t take this statement literally. Instead I want you to try a nude tone shoe with your LBD, because it creates the effect of longer leaner legs. Don’t you want to have longer legs ?
DON’T FORGET TO LAYER
An easy way to make your LBD dazzle is to add a jacket. Depending on the style jacket you choose can transform the LBD. Some options you can run with are a blazer, color jacket such as a red one to create contrast ,or even a black leather jacket to make it appear edgier.

BE BOLD
Those hot pink stilettos or zebra print clutch may not go with everything, but they can certainly add a pop of color to your LBD. Like the phrase “Dare to Go Bare”, one can “Dare to Clash” by wearing red stilletos with a cobalt blue clutch. Another daring element to throw in the mix would be in your choice of tights or stockings.

ACCENTUATE YOUR FAVORITE FEATURES
Don’t be afraid to flaunt your best feature. Have killer legs? Wear a sexy strappy shoe. Love your curves? Choose a style where the fabric hugs your body more as opposed to styles that flare out. In love with your décolletage? Choose a lower neckline style and add a necklace. Ladies, get ready to stop traffic by picking the perfect LBD to reveal your best features and accentuate it!
