7 things to learn from these stylish chicks.

Looking for something to wear.

Its been said once and it will be said again. Choose the perfect LBD and you’ll be set for those moments when stumped.

When you’re not sure what to wear, but need to make an impact, your best friend is the LBD. Find one, and never be worried again.

Ciara, Amber Rose, Rihanna and Cassie show us how to do it.

What to look for in any LBD. 7 things to learn from these stylish chicks.

  1. a LBD is meant to be sexy, don’t be afraid to let loose but choose a dress that fits well and is not too tight. You’ll be thankful when you don’t have to keep sucking in the whole night
  2. Show off your key features. If you have great shoulders, wear an asymmetrical dress that accentuates it. Beautiful legs… show it off with a shorter dress. Toned arms…wear something sleeveless.
  3. Make sure its comfortable. You want to look good, but you also want to feel good
  4. Keep it simple. A LBD is in essence a simple dress. Pick a dress that is plain except for one flare like an accentuated shoulder, a fanciful collar or cut away slits.
  5. Look for a style that you can dress up or down. For instance, a long sleeve jersey black dress can be dressy with thigh high boots yet casual with high top sneakers and a hoody.
  6. As a staple in your closet, your LBD should be about knee length to allow for a variety of occasions
  7. Lastly, choose a classic dress not based on the current trends
