Dresses. The answer to every ‘I have nothing to wear’ morning or ‘I woke up late’ conundrum. No need to find a matching top or bottom, just throw-on and go. So it’s only right that you should own one for every occasion, that you can wear over and over again, right? Thankfully, we’ve rounded up the top 5 dresses for women we can’t live without…

1) The Little Black Dress

Undoubtedly the most-worn dress in every woman’s wardrobe, the LBD wins most valuable player every time. Why? Between being eternally classic, a super slimming shade, and easy to dress up or down, the trusty LBD  leaves little room for error.
