While the LBD is a timeless piece, designers consistently find new ways to evolve the sexy design. This season we spotted sheer accents, dramatic drapery and off-shoulder styles. LBDs are a seasonless go-to piece destined to get a lot of wear, making it the ultimate guilt-free purchase.

Perhaps it's because the print has embodied everything from school-style uniforms to '80s punk fashion. Try the trend with a bold black-and-red miniskirt or a babydoll dress in understated hues. Regardless of how you wear it, the pattern will always be both subtly seductive and slightly demure.

Designers delivered pure passion this season, which managed to translate off the catwalk as well. Recreate the look with these flirty and affordable frocks-each one is decorated with a charming detail (think: lace overlays and satiny finishes).

Lamé tops, tweed separates and extra-wide pinstripes add drama to your day and will seamlessly carry you into the evening. Slip one on and see where the night takes you.

We rounded up affordable form-fitting pieces that naturally mold to your every bend, from a peplum top with sculptural lines to an easy-to-wear shift with black curved panels.

For a new, fierce spin, experiment with non-traditional shades and mixed prints.

Take on tailored styles that sit at the waist and flow down to reveal a sliver of ankle. For comfier, more playful options, try printed loungers that narrow at the ends. Pair them with a sharp blazer and stilettos to dress them up.

Stripped of superfluous details, these structural pieces relied on clean lines and elegant silhouettes. Slip on a nude pencil skirt or a lapel-less blazer for an air of effortless sophistication.
