“One is never overdressed or underdressed in a little black dress.”

Karl Lagerfeld with this phrase he paid all the respects to the most iconic and versatile garment of all time, which, according to legend, every woman should have in her wardrobe. Even in summer.

And here’s the news: black will be the color to wear in the coming months, even as the temperatures rise. Along with red, pink, green, light blue and all the other colors, black is the perfect color to highlight the most minimalist silhouettes with a touch of effortless elegance. The SS23 fashion shows confirmed it.

Judging from the SS23 catwalks, the protagonists are the creations with simple lines, all in black. Prada suggests midi lengths with bandeau tops or thin straps. Gabriela Hearst loves the plunging neckline while Victoria Beckham paired it with lace tights. Max Mara chose straight silhouettes that reinvent the ruffled neckline on the catwalk. Nensi Dojaka continues to bring back her boudoir style. Coperni and Ferragamo add ruffles and asymmetries. Valentino plays with different lengths and Khaite with boho vibes.

Thanks to the newfound love of ’90s style, we’re seeing more and more celebrities opting for sleek, no-frills black creations, with Hailey Bieber a big fan of the trend. Seen in midi, maxi, leather, silk, slim fit or lighter, paired with high heels or a pair of boots, Hailey wears the little black dress for every occasion. It’s time to copy her.
