Dominate in a LBD

IMaxtree/Joe Kohen/Getty Images
The little black dress is a classic staple in every woman's wardrobe-so much so that it earned its own acronym. 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.

Take on Tartan

IMaxtree
Not many patterns have the ability to evoke the unlikely combination of sophistication and grunge quite like plaid can. 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.

Connect with Cobalt

IMaxtree
When you want to stand out in exquisite way, step into a richly saturated shade that's icy cool, but not cold. Crisp blazers, true-blue denim, and pleated dresses doused in the compelling color are just clicks away.

Recreate Runway Romance

Catwalking/Getty Images/Frazer Harrison/Getty Images for TRESemme
Romantic dresses strike a sensual balance between sexy and darling. 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).

Rewind to Retro

IMaxtree
Classics are always exciting to revisit-these tailored but sometimes casual pieces have a streak of eroticism that make them exciting to wear. 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.

Listen To Your Animal Instinct

IMaxtree
Animal print isn't a novel concept, but when fresh styles slinked down the runway this season, it was apparent that all things animal should be closet mainstays. For a new, fierce spin, experiment with non-traditional shades and mixed prints.
