Some days, you really don’t want to have to stand in front of your closet in the morning and scratch your head wondering what you should be wearing to work. That’s why we always recommend that every woman have several LBDs hanging in the back for a simple solution to dressing for work. Not only does the LBD look professional, you can still have lots of fun with it and express your personality through the choice of cut, fabric and the accessories you pair with it. Here are 10 LBDs we love, and we know you will too.

Add a jolt of bright orange into your look with the help of this LBD. Play up the colour by matching it with a red lip.
Short and lacy may not read as “work appropriate”, but this dress thankfully veers away from looking sexy. Sure, the lace sleeves show a sliver of skin, but because of the sleeve length and A-line cut of the dress, you’re unlikely to get flagged for your outfit. In fact, if you throw a blazer over this dress, you’ll look ready to conquer at work.
Animal prints are trickier to incorporate into a work look, but this dress definitely doesn’t have that problem. The leopard spots are less feline and more playful, and because they are in a safe colour choice of black and white, you can throw it on with a pair of white mules and look super chic.
Mixing different fabrics in one outfit gives it more depth. We like that the sexiness of the lace is anchored by the opaque black fabric, but as an overall look, it doesn’t feel boring.
If Coco Chanel were alive today, she might approve of your look herself. With it’s youthful A-line shape and the use of classic tweed, this dress makes dressing for work more fun.
Lovers of the midi length dress will appreciate this design. The satin fabric gives it a more luxe feel, but because it’s still a classic shirt dress, you can get away with wearing this before 6pm.
Get working in a double-breasted blazer-dress. Pair it with a pair of pointed flats for a New Wave-inspired look, or go for a fiercer look with sky-high pumps and a structured work bag.
A fit-and-flare dress gives you the illusion of a curvy hourglass figure. It pulls in your waist as well, and makes your legs appear longer. Double the win!
Go for a preppy look with a bi-coloured dress that you can pair with flats or kitten heels. To avoid looking like a schoolgirl, throw on big blingy earrings and a deep red lipstick.
The fluted hem dress is a great option to have in your wardrobe, because it can take you from day to night with a simple switch up of accessories.
