No matter the season, or the occasion, you can always make a case for the little black dress.

The staple of staples, the LBD is a specialty at Chichi Couture. Recently relocated to the Mission neighbourhood, the new space is filled with pieces that range from simple daywear (jersey dresses and tops) to glammed-up evening attire (sparkly gowns and feather boas). The store’s mandate is a one-stop shop for women who are travelling or on the go.

Some of our favourite pieces include the versatile dresses and tunics by D’Avenue, an obscure label from Seoul, and the big baubles from the in-store accessories collection, Holly Allen Jewellery.

And for that hit of colour, all you need with your LBD is a neon clutch by Kate Spade and off you go to strut your stuff on the in-store runway. —MG
