The long-sleeved black dress editor Lora Grady wants now!

The hunt for winter's best little black dress is over. Wear it to the office (add a blazer and boots) or out on the town (try stilettos and a metallic clutch).

Editors Pick - Lora Grady Jan 8th

Lora's pick

Everyone needs a classic LBD in their closet but when it gets chilly out, the sleeveless look just isn't an option for me. So I love this simple frock from Jones New York. It’s elegant, understated and comes with a waist-cinching belt. I’d pair it with some statement earrings, a red lip and a classic heel. Perfection!
