The Little Black Dress

What's Your Little Black Dress Style?

Little Black Dress Style All Wrapped Up

No capsule wardrobe is complete without an occasion dress that can handle all of your calendar calls. Whether it’s a date night, a girls night or a networking event, there is one style in particular that’s become synonymous with stylish eveningwear – the Little Black Dress.

A good little black dress will give you classic elegance, timeless beauty and a palette you can style with everything. So dress to impress with these distinctive LBD looks!

"One is never overdressed or underdressed in a little black dress."

- KARL LAGERFELD

Showing good black dresses for women in Australia and New Zealand, an over 40, size 10 woman wears a black maxi length wrap dress with flutter sleeves. Made in Australia by women's dress brand, Leina & Fleur, this black cocktail dress is a great dress for curvy, mid size and petite women's evening wear and occasionwear.

LITTLE BLACK WRAP DRESSES

Little Black Dress Style: The Coco-Loco

A pioneer of female style, Coco Chanel was first credited with creating the little black dress. Chic yet simple, Chanel’s black dresses made style accessible to all women and, as champions of size inclusive fashion, that’s
exactly the spirit of an L&F little black dress too!

The ultimate cocktail dress, the Alita Dress wraps the body in grace and elegance. A functioning wrap dress, her waist ties work to define the silhouette while side-front pleats create flattering drape through the skirt.

Alita's dipped ruffle hemline creates a fishtail effect, reminiscent of red carpet glamour. Balancing the hourglass illusion, flutter sleeves empower the shoulders with tucks at the neckline carving out a feminine sweetheart neckline.

SHOP ALITA DRESS
Wearing a black fixed wrap dress with midi length hemline styled with a lilac longline blazer in eco-conscious Tencel fabric, a size 10, over 40 woman shows how versatile black dresses wear for every day, casual and weekend style. Both made in Australia by women's clothing brand Leina & Fleur, shop both women's dresses and jackets online in sizes 8 to 24.

LITTLE BLACK FIXED WRAP DRESSES

Little Black Dress Style: Capsule Wardrobe Classic

The great thing about little black dresses are their versatility. The simple black palette morphs to meet the mood: the same black dress that styles smartly as workwear easily restyles for the weekend; a simple change of accessories can create the look of a whole new dress.

A fixed wrap dress, the Bibi Dress' wrap front is anchored at the side seams for a secure feel all day long. Featuring practical pockets, this midi dress has a full skirt that's functional for both daytime strides and nighttime twirls.

Indian Summer Presley pants

Love the material very flowing such a pretty pattern

Presley Pant in Indian Summer
Kai cami in royal

My collection of these versatile camis is fast growing so comfortable and easy to wear in summer or winter. This Royal blue has that wow factor and I get many compliments on the colour. Fit and style are great covers bra straps which being a cami has been a challenge for me in the past. I have my eyes on the clay now ❤️

Lounge pants black bamboo

I love these pants. They are so comfortable. I got the same size as my munroe pants, these feel slightly shorter though.
I've worn them to bed, and around the house. Love the pockets and thr beautiful soft fabric. I can see myself wearing these on travel days as they'd be so comfortable on the plane, but still look stylish.

Sarah
Lounge Pant in Black Bamboo
Kai in opal

I bought this top in the recent promotion and so pleased with the colour, it goes with so many of my L&F pieces. I’m a convert for this brand the quality and comfort are amazing and love how the team runs you through how to style these pieces. The best camis I have found.

Slouchy tee in black

I got this is navy and black, and now considering getting more because I'm wearing them so much. The fabric is beautiful and feel like a hug.

Like a hug

This top is so comfortable, it feels like wearing a hug. The fabric is soft and it just fits beautifully, I did size down, so it's a bit more fitted. I'm very tempted to buy more of them. It's nice enough to wear out and about, but comfy for relaxing at home. I love the sleeve length too.

Slouchy Tee in Navy Bamboo
Kai white bamboo

I have many of these versatile little camis they are very easy to wear with great coverage. Easy care and very stylish, being white I thought it might be a bit see through but it’s great hides any lumps and bumps so it’s a winner for me.

Kai Cami in Vanilla Bamboo
Sawyer top in bamboo

Beautiful little top that is a great basic for when you need that plain colour. The fit and style is very comfortable and flattering. Cool in the summer and with that extra bonus of warm in the winter.

Barbara Hamilton
Sawyer Top in Black Bamboo
Lila in White Bamboo

Favourite style Lila in a basic white for the core wardrobe style. Bamboo fabric is heavier than expected but soft and comfortable.

Jennifer
Lila Top in Vanilla Bamboo
Tahlia Top in Blue Hana

The fabric is soft and slinky and the combination of different blues is both happy and calming at the same time. :)

Saw this one and had to have ..

Love it !! I am not a dress wearer, I’d rather dress pants and a lovely dressy, professional looking blouse or top… but as Mother of the Bride, and it’s garden wedding, I knew I had to wear a dress… it arrived and as soon as I put it on I knew it was perfect… just got to get the shoes now !!!

Maggie Maxi Dress in Cobalt Leaf
Best All Rounder

Fernanda (Black) is perfect in every way. This dress can travel, dress up and down; all without creasing. She is so versatile and can be worn absolutely everywhere. If you could only choose one dress, then this is the one!

The fit, style and material is divine. Highly recommend.

These pants are so comfortable . They are made from the most beautiful linen and the fit is just perfect . I only wish I’d bought other colours when they were available .
