The Little Black Dress –
With thoughts of Christmas creeping into our minds and lots of party wear in the shops I thought it was the perfect time to talk about the LBD
1. Think about colour – this may seem an odd thing to say when I’m talking about the ‘little black dress’ but if you know black is not the best colour on you, perhaps you should consider an alternative. This could be influenced by the current fashion trends so may make your job easier or more challenging. For example, there’s lots of red around this year. However, if you need something a little more subtle navy is always a good option, or what about forest green?

French Connection If black isn’t so great on you make sure the neckline is low and it’s in a fine fabric like lace of something sheer. This will allow for some of your flesh to show through and think about wearing a necklace. With a bit of makeup and dim party lights it’ll work better than say if you were wearing a black top during the day in the office with the harshness of florescent lighting.
