44 Outfits That Prove the LBD Is Even More Versatile Than You Thought

There's a reason the LBD is such a fashion classic: it looks great on — literally! — everyone, comes in a variety of shapes and sizes, and is considered a blank canvas for the woman who is wearing it. No matter where you're headed, the addition of certain accessories can dress it up or down, meaning one quality dress can get you through a handful of different gatherings — even if you've already 'grammed it.

So if you're not willing to shell out a ton of dough on an item you know, deep down, you'll get one good wear out of, go with the ultimate no-fail option. Check out how our favorite bloggers have styled their own trusty black dresses, then shop some styles and accessories ahead.
