LBD’s and killer heels the festive favourite

In the fast changing world of fashion, the traditional little black dress (LBD) remains the most popular choice for women attending Christmas parties this year, research from Catalink.com revealed. Sixty-six per cent of the 1,300 consumers polled said they will be reaching for the old faithful black number, together with their killer heels, during the forthcoming festive season.

This research reveals that the black dress and killer heels is still a firm favourite with two thirds of Christmas party-goers. Eighteen per cent of consumers intend to add some additional sparkle to the festivities with that "little bit of bling" and sixteen per cent will opt to wear a pair of skinny jeans.

Ginna Clark, CEO at Catalink.com: "Christmas time is jam-packed with parties and while this is great fun, it can be a nightmare in the wardrobe department. Our survey shows that it doesn't matter how many times you change your style, women always turn to that timeless favourite - the little black dress."

Clark continues: "You can always rely on the black number never going out of fashion, and consumers in the UK are benefiting from the huge variety of styles on offer for all shapes and sizes."

Most UK retailers produce mail order catalogues so women don’t even need to leave their home to window shop during this busy time of year. Evans, Next, Long Tall Sally and Simply Be, are just a sample of retailers on Catalink.com, where consumers can find the perfect little black number.

Research results were collated from a survey of 1,300 consumers. Catalink.com offers a completely free service for registered consumers to order any of the 1,000 catalogues and brochures from top mail order and holiday companies in the UK.
