A little black dress (LBD) remains a wardrobe staple for its timeless and versatile design. From flowy minis to structured shapes, there is an option to flatter every figure. We have scoured the high street to share some of our favourite LBDs from brands such as Marks & Spencer, ASOS, and Odd Muse, with prices starting from £22.
Boohoo offers a budget-friendly option with a tailored blazer design and flattering long sleeves. The cinched waist and buckle detail add a playful touch, and it is currently the number one bestseller in the brand's dresses category. Available in UK sizes 6-16, it is back in stock in all sizes. However, shoppers should note that the dress comes in one leg length and may appear shorter on taller individuals.
Odd Muse's Cap Sleeve Mini Dress is a more investment-worthy piece, featuring a structured design with a signature cinched waist and darts for an elevated look. The high neck provides extra coverage, and taller shoppers can opt for an additional 5cm in length. The dress is dry clean only, which may be a drawback for some.
Roman's midi dress is a bargain at £26 (reduced from £50), with an extra 10% off using code EXTRA, bringing it to £22.10. It features a textured design, round neckline, and ruched waist in stretch jersey fabric. The dress has already sold out in size 14, so interested shoppers should act quickly. It is only available in one length, which may not suit all heights.
Marks & Spencer's jersey ruched bodycon mini dress is available in regular and petite lengths, but the tall version is sold out online. The stretch fabric and ruched waist offer comfort and a flattering fit. Customer reviews praise its comfort and flattering shape, though some note the material can be clingy.
ASOS's maxi dress features a lace panel, a key trend this season. It has a slinky regular fit, sleeveless design, and classic round neck, making it elegant for evening events. Available in UK sizes 4-18, the lace may be impractical in cooler weather.
