What Is The LBD?

LBD stands for the Little Black Dress or should I say your go-to dress with a simple and feminine design. Women always go for versatility because it automatically allows them to wear the dress anywhere they want.

It’s time that we give some credit to the little black dress, the champion of our wardrobe. Not all heroes are recognized easily and this dress is a lifesaver.

The little black dress is a symbol of class, business, elegance, and sexiness. Hollywood’s influence on fashion helped the small black dress’s popularity. In the world of fashion, the little black dress is very popular.

How Did LBD Become The Closet Staple?

To understand this, we need to go into the depth of the history of the little black dress.

Back in the day black represented romance and artistry. Black was also considered poetic.

In late 1926 Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel published an image of a brief, simple black dress in American Vogue. It was calf-length, straight, and decorated only by a couple of diagonal lines. It was known as “Chanel’s Ford”.The little black dress was simple and available for women of all social classes. It was also said that the LBD would become “a sort of uniform for all women of taste”.This, as well as other designs by the house of Chanel.

Now you know how this black dress became an essential part of the fashion industry. If we look on the other side, black was never considered wearable because people used to wear it at funerals and it signified grief or mourning. But after this memorable debut, the little black dress became the fashion statement for all women. Every woman loved the fabric and appreciated the change.

Now you know how LBD became the closet staple.
