Quick history lesson for the fashionable yet uninformed. Most fashion historians point to the year 1926, when a foxy dame named Coco Chanel introduced a simple black sheath dress and women everywhere swooned with delight. Since then, the LBD, (as we modern women women like to abbreviate), has been the subject of many a fashion spread, trend report and even a book or two.
Winter is a great time to stock up on basics, and no item in your closet provides quite the versatility as a black dress. The fun comes in figuring out just how many different looks you can put together - rocker chic with a chain necklace and riding boots? Sleek sophisticate with a pair of deep red patent leather peep-toe pumps? Perhaps world traveler with a pair of espadrilles and floppy hat or workplace glamazon with a blazer and pair of fierce over the knee boots?
