HOW TO WEAR A BLACK DRESS IN THE SUMMER

Not just for festive soirées, a little black dress (or LBD) will earn its keep as a sunshine-ready wardrobe staple

Every so often an ultra-flattering summer dress comes along that has us reconsidering our usual uniform of shorts and trainers in favour of getting dressed up. A long black dress with ribbon-tie shoulder straps is an effortless outfit idea for hot summer days. Whether you choose a mini, a midi or a maxi dress, our extensive collection of little black dresses will have you in the mood for an open-air party before you can say "Frosé?". As for the accessories, a pair of this season’s on-trend sandals grounds your look, while a lightweight summer jacket weather-proofs it, should the sun go in. Opt for a chic blanket wrap if it’s chilly out.
