Long-Sleeve T and Pencil Skirt

Pairing a slim-fit T-shirt with a faux-leather pencil skirt is genius! It’s not as expected as a dress, and it still skims your frame, giving you a smart yet more relaxed look.

Modern LBD

An off-the-shoulder style draws attention to your face and collarbone, while the low cut shows off your décolletage. If you’d like to cinch your waist, try adding a belt, as Graham does here.

Shoulder Cut-Out

The cut-out trend shows no signs of slowing down. Go for a dress that shows a sliver of your shoulders. It's a great way to test out the look without exposing too much.

Attached Choker

Chokers are of the moment, but when it comes to the hottest trends, the attached choker is the leader of the pack, appearing on bodysuits, tanks, and dresses alike. The neckline on this dress is nearly off the shoulder as well, proving once again that exposing the collarbone is just as sexy as showing a little leg.

Spaghetti-Strap Slip Dress

A cami dress is a smart investment piece. You can wear it alone when it’s warm, and when the temperature drops, you can layer a blazer on top or a blouse or thin turtleneck underneath.

LRD (Little Red Dress)

Warning: Do not wear this dress if you don’t want to look smoking hot! A red body-con will draw attention to those sexy curves, but be sure to wear proper undergarments, as panty and bra lines will drag the look down.

Body-Con and Blazer

Nothing says chic quite like a crisp white blazer. Any basic dress is elevated when you drape one over your shoulders as a cape.
