The LBD: how to wear the little black dress

The latest in bags

if you're looking for an excuse to justify buying the latest handbag, look no further: it will go perfectly with an LBD.

Dior's Gaucho bag is very rock'n'roll, and would contrast especially well with a conservative, masculine or Victorian-style dress.

If that old LBD that's been gathering dust in the back of your wardrobe seems dated, team it with an oversized bag in a bright colour (see Chanel or Chloé) and it will look as good as anything in the shops.
