If you are thinking that a black dress is only for funerals and formal social events, think again, as an elegant black dress can be worn on many occasions. Have a look below at the many benefits of owning a black dress.
The Many Benefits Of Owning A Black Dress
The little black dress, or LBD as we like to call it, is something that every fashion-conscious woman should have in their wardrobe, and with Hollywood A-listers like Kate Moss, who have shown us how the LBD can be effectively worn with the right accessories, you really should invest in at least one.
Black Doesn’t Show Up Stains – Of course, you hope never to spill anything on a nice party dress, but should the worst happen and someone launches their red wine down your front, you’ll be so glad you chose black rather than white. Some stains are completely invisible with black, while others can only be noticed in a certain light, and if you are in a disco or somewhere dark, the stain will not be seen.
A Great Hand-Me-Down – Your younger sister or daughter can probably use a black dress if you can no longer get into it, or need a change, and by handing the dress down to the next generation, it is getting maximum use. If you have some old clothes at home that you don’t wear anymore, you could also donate.
Of course, a LBD is also perfect for a night out and the party season, and you can also have a look at this post for styling a black dress for the party season.
There’s no doubt about it, the classic LBD is a very versatile addition to your wardrobe and if you don’t already own one, put it on your wish list.
