LBD, meet plunging neckline

Embrace chic and sexy style with a little black dress (LBD) and a plunging neckline. All-black dresses with a deep V-neck make the perfect opportunity for statement accessories to shine, so reach for a lariat necklace to draw in the eye and dramatic earrings to dress it up. Or keep it simple with a blazer and delicate accessories.

Dress for your body type with a puff sleeve dress

Don't underestimate the allure of timeless puff sleeve dresses, which highlight the figure by accentuating the upper body and creating the illusion of a smaller waist. A puff sleeve bodycon dress looks fabulous on all body types, though they especially tend to balance triangular or rectangular shapes. Look for a colorful option to stand out, such as a dark forest green or magenta pink.

Transform a sequin skirt into a classy outfit combo

Take the less-is-more approach this year with a reliably chic skirt-and-boot combo. Pair a sequin skirt with a satin thin-strap blouse and knee-high boots for a foolproof outfit combination that's sure to make a mark. Despite the classic elements, this look is anything but dull — just be sure to balance the outfit with eye-catching jewelry and a statement clutch to avoid a lackluster effect.
