Wardrobe Must: Not-So-Basic LBDs

I believe that a closet should contain multiple LBDs. I mean, things like shape and silhouette make a difference when in comes to creating a look and I have yet to find a single LBD that can suit all my needs.

This season marked a major LBD comeback and our favorite closet staple now comes in a variety of styles- the micro mini, the backless, the plunging neck, the long sleeved, the cut-out, the leather, the lace. While this style staple was once synonymous with simplicity and considered the perfect foundation for statement-accessories, the new LBDs do all the talking and don’t require additional flourishes.

A not-so-basic LBD puts a definate end to the ubiquitous closet-full-of-clothes-and-nothing-to-wear predicament and can serve as your fool-proof go-to time and time again.

Check out  my top picks after the jump!

Kova & T Drea Dress, $353. The long sleeve mini-dress is the hottest silhouette this season. Pile on the accessories or wear it alone, mega-watt sex appeal is guaranteed either way.

Alexander Wang Cutout Dress, $650. Be not afraid of the cut-out, it’s actually super flattering, especially when the dress draws in at the waist like this one.
