Who over age 50 has bought, tried on or at least thought about a “cold shoulder” or off-shoulder dress this year? Most of us did ... and why not? It is a big 2017 trend that continues to


linger. We love dresses because they speed up and simplify the whole process of getting dressed, but it's getting harder to curb our enthusiasm with so many choices. The challenge is


choosing the right dress — one that won't sit on the hanger next year. Want to know 10 that will never go out of style? Even celebs dress for success. Former first lady Michelle Obama


at a screening of Disney's "Muppets Most Wanted" in 2014 Win McNamee/Getty Images JERSEY WRAP DRESS Launched by designer Diane Von Furstenberg in the '70s, this iconic


style is now everywhere. Five reasons to get one (or more) ASAP: The adjustable wrap defines your waist (or re-creates one!), the V-neckline elongates your neck and torso, the crossover wrap


separates and lifts your breasts, the fluid fabric works year-round from day to night (and stays crease free) and the three-quarter-length sleeves add confident coverage. Sarah Jessica


Parker at the Stash SJP fragrance launch in 2016 David Fisher/REX/Shutterstock MULTITASKING LITTLE BLACK DRESS The little black dress is the VIP of your closet, so be picky because it needs


to pivot from work to cocktails, casual to formal, sexy to conservative, with a change of shoes, bag and jewelry. On the other hand, keep it contemporary but true to your lifestyle and


personal style — whether urban or relaxed, classic or more fashion-y. Your LBD might be a tailored fit-and-flare style, a sleeveless shift with faux leather inserts or a flow-y bohemian


dress with full sleeves. There's no one-for-all answer. Kyra Sedgwick at an event in Beverly Hills, Calif. ABC/Getty Images STAND-OUT-IN-THE-CROWD RED DRESS Women in red dresses do come


off as fiery and passionate — or at least friendly and outgoing — which is why you need one. A red eye-catcher gets attention in a sea of neutral colors and on social media. Depend on that


scarlet, tomato or ruby glow to energize you the way high heels (or red lipstick) used to. Wear it to blaze the way at important interviews, meetings, cocktail parties, get-togethers with


new friends or neighbors. And, of course, if you're dating again, this will be in heavy rotation. Leslie Jones at the Time 100 Gala in April Charles Sykes/AP LACE DRESS Not just for


weddings anymore, lace has gotten edgy and cool. When you want to look sophisticated and feminine, all you need is a tailored stretch-lace sheath or any dress with lace overlays, panels or


inserts. In fact, black or wine-colored lace has a dark fashion vibe that's way more Goth than Granny. Just skip the pearls. Goldie Hawn on "The Late Late Show With James


Corden" in May Terence Patrick/Courtesy of CBS COLOR-BLOCK DRESS This fast-fix dress strategically uses dark and bright or light colors to attract and distract. It's amazingly


empowering since the precise placement of color creates an illusion of body shape. The emphasis goes straight to bright or light areas, and dark areas get ignored — which is great when you


want to whittle away a few pounds or bulges without Spanx.
