Get rid of that boring LBD!
While we all love a good LBD, it has been done to death. And what if you’ve worn yours, or even its variations to more than one party? It’s time to find the perfect substitute for the little black dress. Here are a few options you can’t go wrong with.
1. A good pair of well-fitted denims
There’s nothing that a good pair of jeans can’t solve. Whether dressed up or down, jeans can make any outfit look good. And to up your style quotient, pick a pair of skinnies in a bright, bold colour. If you haven’t shaved or waxed, or are simply not feeling you’re sexiest best, slip into your best pair, team it with a curve-hugging party top and a pair of killer heels—you’ll give any girl in the shortest dress a run for her money.

2. Peplum top/skirt
One of the hottest trends that hit that fashion circuit last season, this one is here to stay. An added ruffle around the waist, whether on a top, skirt or dress, is what sets the peplum apart. A peplum top can be teamed with a short skirt, a high-waisted knee-length one, or cigarette pants. The idea is to the keep the silhouette slim. A peplum skirt goes with any top that’s well-fitted—most effective when tucked into the skirt.

3. Sheath or Shift dress
If you have that perfect hourglass figure then the sheath dress is for you. Usually a little above the knee or just grazing it, this a form-fitting dress that can take you from boardroom to bar with no added help at all. If you’re not too confident of showing off your curves, opt for a shift dress. A shift dress is generally sleeveless that hangs straight down from the shoulders and reaching the knees, making it just what you need to hide your flaws and flab. Either dress will be comfortable and appropriate no matter what kind of party you’re heading to.
