True story: I had fallen for the perfect little black dress<\/strong>. The one you want to keep in your wardrobe for life and that fits all occasions, from cocktails to casual dates with boots and a leather jacket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thrilled with my purchase, I packed my little black dress in my suitcase to celebrate Christmas with the family. And then, on Christmas Eve, disaster strikes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My dress is way too sexy<\/strong> for a family reunion, I feel squeezed into it even though the holiday meals haven’t even started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m tugging at the corners of the dress every 5 minutes to keep it from riding up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I realize the problem: the dress in which I feel so good when I go out for a drink isn’t at all suitable for a family meal with my grandparents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To save you from my mistakes, I’m sharing my favorite finds from Modalova<\/a><\/strong> for the little black dress, from the traditional to the sexiest, to give you some shopping ideas<\/strong> to find the little black dress that suits every occasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to wear the little black dress properly?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The concept is simple, it’s a straightforward dress, most often knee-length, but the length can vary, with short or long sleeves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The little black dress is versatile because it doesn’t have a neckline, which allows it to be worn on any occasion while remaining classy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a classic flared version, it pairs well with pumps, another must-have piece<\/a>, giving it a city sleek and slender look. In a more modern version, it can be worn with boots and a leather jacket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The little black dress<\/strong> was born in the heart of the 1920s, a somewhat austere period, but which allowed Gabrielle Chanel<\/strong> to sketch for the first time in 1926, the design of what would become this iconic<\/strong> garment<\/strong>. In 1960, the black dress became definitively famous thanks to Audrey Hepburn<\/strong> wearing it in the movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The classic and modern little black dress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Staying in a classic and simple<\/strong> tone, but with a few additional details that modernize the garment. The cut remains simple and straight but a bit more fitted, and the subtle shoulder pads give a more festive or working girl<\/strong> vibe, depending on the context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The absence of a neckline and its long sleeves make this dress the classic iconic piece<\/strong> we love and that goes everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When to wear it?<\/strong> Every day. That’s the advantage of the classic and modern little black dress par excellence: it can be worn on all occasions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The classic little black dress with a rock twist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It’s classic<\/strong> with its long sleeves and flowing part, but it has that little rock<\/strong> edge that adds character to this iconic piece<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add a belt to accentuate the waist and break up the demure look of the little black dress. How to instantly amp up the hot potential<\/strong> of this outfit? Simply apply colored nail polish or a touch of lipstick, and you’re set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When to wear it?<\/strong> Every day. It can easily be worn to the office by paying special attention to accessories and with light makeup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demure yet sexy little black dress with a Peter Pan collar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Demure yes, but with a sexy<\/strong> twist thanks to the Peter Pan collar<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Play with the sweet and innocent look<\/strong> by pairing it with wedged shoes or black boots. If, on the other hand, you want to accentuate the reserved vibe the Peter Pan collar offers, go for black patent ballet flats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When to wear it?<\/strong> Mostly outdoors. Although this dress is classic, the Peter Pan collar can quickly give a sweet-sexy vibe that is very pretty but might be somewhat uncomfortable in certain situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The short and form-fitting little black dress with long sleeves<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We embrace our shapes<\/strong>, whether slim or curvy, and the form-fitting black dress will raise the temperature without revealing too much. Perfect for winter, it’s worn with warm tights and boots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When to wear it?<\/strong> You can wear it during the day at the office with loafers<\/a> and in the evening to go out for drinks with friends with high boots<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The long and form-fitting little black dress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While it doesn’t reveal much skin, this dress nonetheless has an incredible sexy potential<\/strong>. In summer, it’s easily worn and can be paired with a cardigan or a wrap top. In winter, wear it with nude tights and croc or shiny boots to give it a touch of eccentricity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When to wear it?<\/strong> In summer, to go out for dinner with friends or family, and in winter to stay cozy but well-dressed at home or outside. It can be worn to the office if its form-fitting aspect is embraced with nude makeup and flat shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
