The little black dress: an undeniably faultless classic. It’s the age old fashion adage – if all else fails, wear your LBD – but whilst we’re all for sticking with style traditions, we can’t help but wonder how does one keep the little black dress modern and interesting?

This dress from Miss Selfridge is a prime example of how: with its cutout detailing around the bust and totally on trend wetlook panel, this is how the LBD should be worn this season.

We also love the hourglass-illusion shape; a highly flattering fit. We’re visualising this teamed with a blazer for work during the day, and then given an evening update with glittery heels, a big fluffy faux fur coat and strong red lips.

Party perfect!

Black Wetlook Cutout Dress, £36, available at Miss Selfridge.
