When reading fashion tips or must-haves, we always stumble upon having the right little black dress, fondly known as LBD. But what is commonly overlooked is the fact that getting the right LBD also entails choosing the appropriate footwear to go with it. Not all types of shoes work with all kinds of dresses.

So we have listed 8 sleek pairs of shoes that you can wear to complement your little black dress.
