A day like any other at the office? Wearing a little black dress saves you endless procrastination, those mornings when nothing goes… Accessorize it according to the day ahead of you and the dress code of your company. A discreet jewel and a small fitted jacket for a classic dress, accompanied by plain pumps... and a beautiful lipstick. The atmosphere is more flexible? Opt for the ballet flats, choose the colored jacket, or replace it with a light vest on Fridays!
A major presentation awaits you, a tense meeting or a meeting with the boss? The elegant little black dress should make you look competent and confident, feminine but without excess. A working girl, in short! Go for the structured cuts and elaborate details such as discreet pleats, ensuring style and hold. The champion ? The knee-length pencil dress, with thin belt, discreet earrings and patent pumps. And if the boss is absent, consider the shirt dress, more comfortable, but just as professional in its simplicity.
To highlight the little black dress and its accessories at the office, avoid overbidding:a pendant in the hollow of the neck, rather than a big rickety necklace. As for earrings, avoid pendants. On the other hand, nothing prevents you from choosing an original model! As for the shoes of the little black dress, the specialists of the professional look are none other than the pumps:choose them from 5 to 8 cm high to combine comfort and elegance. Avoid open toes, but opt for color if the dress code allows it... And for a more casual look, think of ballet flats or boots.
To bring the little black dress into the office, beware of excess! If the dress ensures success, it is by its simplicity. No deep or bustier neckline, therefore, but shallow round or V-necks, boat, shirt or cowl necks.
Prefer knee length, practical and elegant, but never on the kneecap:the little black dress should arrive just below or just above the knee, depending on your company's dress code. Save the mini-dresses for the evenings, the long dresses for the beach!
Avoid ruffles, frills, wispy flounces or voluminous drapes. If you dream of draping at the office, opt for a wrap or wrap dress.
Ban tight-fitting, tights, jersey or too shiny fabrics. The little black dress must show firmness in the material and restraint in the effects:when in doubt, cotton and silk are timeless.
If you want to inspire seriousness and professionalism, prefer dresses with short, three-quarter or long sleeves. Save dresses with spaghetti straps for long summer weekends… A simple three-hole dress, on the other hand, can easily be layered over a white blouse for an elaborate look.
