The little black dress earned its spot on the map at the end of the 1920s when Coco Chanel did everything she could to make it an essential piece of women’s daily wardrobe. Her trademark was a very simple dress, cut at the knee, adorned with a modest collar and long sleeves. Soon becoming symbolic, Christian Dior assured a few years later, “The little black dress is an essential element of a woman’s wardrobe.” Aside from inspiring many fashion designers, the little black dress has also made a name for itself thanks to numerous heroines in cinema, from Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s to Christina Ricci in The Addams Family. Even today, a sign of its unlimited source of inspiration, the little black dress remains a staple of fashion, regardless of the season. The ultimate advantage: it pairs well with anything, in any situation. Below are a few of our favorite little black dresses to shop now.
