IT’S really more fun dress-ing up with Fashion Forum’s roundup of the season’s top dresses. You’ll love dress-ing the part with a range of black and white palettes, feminine and sporty looks, and tribal and artsy inspirations.

• Ray of White. Keep it light and fresh all-year round in a PLWD (pretty little white dress). Its pureness and simplicity has created a little white dress revolution: from modernist to girly, from clean lines and silhouettes to textural interests like a touch of broderie anglaise and a bold cut-out here and there.
• The Little Black Dress. Immortalized by Coco Chanel in the 1920s, the allure of the LBD is timeless. At Fashion Forum, the classic LBD is remixed with adornments like gold metallic necklaces and studs.
• Go Global. Worldly patterns, festive prints and a bright arrangement of colors will take you on a fashion adventure this season and next. The vivid and dynamic patchwork of global-inspired patterns and ornamentation are eye-catching, eclectic, and exotic.
• Hip to be Square. Shirt and shift dresses take on an artsy approach this season with Mondrian-ish and graphic prints. Windowpane checks continue to create a fashion gridlock this season with a pop of colored blocks and lines to amp up the ante. 
• The Case for Lace. Since the time Erdem reinvented the lace dress in Spring-Summer 2011, it has always been in the fashion radar. At Fashion Forum, lace dresses continue to amaze in sugary sweet and sorbet shades, exquisite patterns, and sleek silhouettes. 
• Sports Couture. Ride the sports vibe of the season with fashion world-cup worthy pieces that let you run in heels. Make your closet a playground of style in functional bodycon and neoprene dresses that make the most of the feminine silhouette.
• Lady Luxe. The ladylike trend takes on a charming turn at Fashion Forum with dresses in nostalgic tapestry-style toile and brocade prints; as well as opulent fabrics juxtaposed with a new, modern feel.
