When it comes to spring and summer fashion, it’s hard to beat a little black dress. I rely heavily on the LBD when I need a break from jean shorts, but still want to look and feel feminine. The good news for all of us is that there is no end to the amount of little black dress options, and they come in all shapes, sizes, materials, and silhouettes.

Take for example this A-line, short-sleeved shirt dress by COS. Not only is it 100% cotton for maximum comfort and breathing room, but the exaggerated A-line makes it a total standout. The back box pleat adds eye-grabbing volume to this silhouette and allows this dress to play both dressy or casual, depending on what you need it for. It’s the kind of LBD you can pair with sneakers (like adidas Sambas) for a casual Sunday brunch or wear with strappy sandals for a backyard cocktail party! For under $140, the versatility and wearability of this dress will take you far this summer season. I may or may not have also bought in white - its just too good to pass up for summer! The fit is already oversized, but I took a US6 since I'm 5'10 and wanted to make sure I had enough length coverage.
