The best little black dresses: 13 styles for every occasion in 2022

From the wise words of Karl Lagerfeld, “one is never overdressed or or underdressed with a little black dress.”

A little black dress — or should we say LBD — is a crucial element of every woman’s wardrobe. Simply think back to Audrey Hepburn in “Breakfast At Tiffany’s” for proof.

Whether you’re headed to a local cocktail lounge or attending a black-tie event, a little black dress will do the trick for so many different occasions.

Though the same in color, little black dresses can greatly vary in styles. For instance, you can opt for a cut-out style, a midi dress or a wedding-appropriate find. Electing which style to go for all depends on your outing and preference.

Whether you are looking for a glam dress or something classic to pair with your jewelry and heels, we have the perfect LBD for you below.

If you’re looking for a LBD that’s warmer than most, then this Revolve pick is for you. Look forward to mock neck, a thick knit material and an effortless pick.
