Naomi Watts proved that the Little Black Dress looks beautiful no matter the occassion when she wore her lace Valentino to the Oscars Luncheon.
Anne Hathaway also chose a LBD for the event, knowing that they can never go wrong with it.
Something tells me though, that they won't be wearing theirs again.
A new survey from myvouchercodes.co.uk found that the majority of respondents own 4-6 black dresses, most having had them for 7 years and still expecting to get four more years of wear out of them.
All women with a favourite LBD were asked to estimate how many times, per year, they wore the garment, to which the average answer was ‘13’ times; with ‘at work’, ‘on nights out’ and ‘for special/formal occasions’ the most common circumstances in which the item was worn.
When taking into account that the average woman has owned her favourite ‘LBD’ for ‘7 years’ and plans to keep it for a further 4 years (making the lifespan of an LBD 11 years) that would mean that the average LBD gets worn 143 times in total.
It's important then that you get the right style and fit that flatters your body shape and feels comfortable.
We've picked out a selection of Little Black Dresses for you to shop now.
This is a staple item, that apparently will last you no less that 11 years, it's worth making the investment.
