By now, you must already know that every woman should own at least one little black dress. Why? Because they are elegant, slimming, versatile, timeless and don’t need to be dry-cleaned that


often. And, for some reason, everything looks more expensive when it’s black! As we pass the mid-century mark, women still want to look alluring, but sometimes showing too much skin can come


off as tacky or trying too hard. It’s best to focus on your favorite physical feature, whether it’s your shapely legs, long neck, sexy shoulders, toned arms, generous cleavage or hourglass


proportions — and to keep the spotlight there. You don’t need to be all covered up. In fact, showing some skin somewhere is more flattering than showing none. And if you choose your black


dress wisely and accessorize strategically, I guarantee you will look and feel great for any upcoming occasion. With the holidays fast approaching, this is the perfect time to shop for the


perfect LBD. So, let’s go find yours! (Left to right) Pleated Halter Midi Dress in Black ($160 whitehouseblackmarket.com); Oversized-Fit Wool T-Shirt Dress in Black ($135, cos.com); Plus


Size Sheer Sleeve Dress in Black ($158, karenkane.com) White House Black Market / COS / Karen Kane A RIGHT TO BARE ARMS If you love your arms, perhaps you are comfortable going sleeveless?


If so, keep the length of your dress at or below the knee to keep the focus on your upper body. Another nice option is a bracelet- or half-sleeved dress. I don’t know any woman who worries


about displaying her forearms or wrists! And let’s not forget the magic of a sheer sleeve. Showing just a hint of skin can be as seductive as completely baring arms. PLEATED HALTER MIDI

are a no-brainer: a bold cuff, some bangles, perhaps a chain-link or charm bracelet? With sheer long sleeves, consider wearing a dramatic “cocktail ring” or rings on multiple fingers. The


point is to draw the eye to your arms. (Left to right) Style & Co Women’s Mock-neck Sweater Dress in Deep Black ($35, macys.com); Crepe Midi Dress in Black ($70, zara.com); Willow Jersey


Dress in Black, Petite ($98, bodenusa.com) Macy’s / ZARA / BODEN US GET A LEG UP If you love your legs, keep the length of your dress just a few inches above your knees or go for a longer


dress with a slit hem. Leave the thigh-high minis behind. Been there, done that! By wearing dresses with long sleeves, you can truly highlight your gorgeous gams. STYLE & CO WOMEN’S
