It’s easy to forget just how powerful of a wardrobe item a little black dress really is. Style it with sandals or loafers and you have an easy daytime look. Swap them for heels and add some jewels, and suddenly it’s evening-ready. Better still, because an LBD provides such a sleek foundation, all it takes is one thoughtfully chosen accessory to make it feel directional.

Right now, my favourite way to elevate an LBD is with a satin skinny scarf, and this week, Kaia Gerber reminded me exactly why. Stepping out in a black satin slip dress, Kaia elevated her look with a matching satin skinny scarf draped elegantly around her neck and cascading down her back.

Evoking the timeless glamour of the French Riviera, this elevated accessory lent her understated outfit a polished, cinematic feel with no effort at all.
