With all the parties and events that go on during the holidays, a versatile LBD is a great way to keep getting ready stress-free. You can probably find at least one occasion that every female celebrity has worn a little black dress. Jennifer Aniston continually bets on the LBD for events. Recently, we’ve seen Charlize Theron, Jennifer Lopez, Gabrielle Union and Katie Holmes in their own little black dresses.

For a classic look, try one of these three dresses for $100 or less. The first is egg shaped shift dress that will be very flattering. It is from Topshop and is the most expensive at $100. Another option is a chiffon dress with rosettes from Ann Taylor Loft for $89.50. It is an online exclusive. White House|Black Market has a great sale on a dress with elbow length sleeves and a surplice bodice. Originally $150, it is now only $49.99.

For a twist on the classic, go for sequins. Take advantage of the comeback of big shoulders with this sweater dress from Arden B. for $54.40. Forever 21 has a full sequin dress for only $29.80. This long-sleeved dress with a sequined skirt is from Bloomingdales for $78.

The one shoulder neckline was not only seen on dresses, but also on bathing suits. Katie Holmes has already rocked the one shoulder swimsuit. The tan line repercussions are obvious, but I’d be willing to take the risk. There are some great one-piece options for under $100 and sexy bikinis totaling around $130.

The one shoulder neckline is also available in tops. Emma Stone wore a great one shoulder top on an appearance of TRL last year and Lauren Conrad wore this look to Barbie’s 50th birthday event in Malibu. Express has a one shoulder top for $49.50 in its spring line. It comes in three colors, including the cobalt blue shown below. Or try one with a Grecian flare in bright green or navy blue for $128 at Nordstrom. Another option is a print, like Marciano’s for $108.

1. One Shoulder Dresses

The boyfriend jean started to show up on the fashion scene toward the end of 2008. But I have a feeling they will continue to popular through spring 2009. Many celebrities, such as Katie Holmes, Selma Blair and Rachel Bilson, have been seen wearing boyfriend fit jeans. While designers like Paige Premium Denim and Current/Elliot seem to be the choice of these stars, they can cost close to $200.

If this is out of your price range or you simply do not spend that much on trend pieces, there is still hope. Retailers like Express, Ann Taylor Loft and Victoria’s Secret are selling these jeans for under $100. For even less dough, Delia’s, Alloy, American Eagle and JCPenney also have the boyfriend jean.

Wash: Boyfriend jeans are available in several washes. The main consideration with the wash you choose should be what is most flattering on you. Dark wash jeans are the most universally flattering, but that doesn’t mean you won’t be able to pull off a lighter pair. Express has boyfriend jeans in light and dark washes.

Wear & Tear: The boyfriend jean has varied levels of wear and tear available. The decision here is mostly a matter of taste. In my opinion, the older they look the better.

Cuffs: Although you can wear them without, these jeans are generally worn with cuffs. As opposed to a neat, folded cuff, the cuff of the boyfriend jean is usually rough and rolled. The cuff is usually done so it hits a little above the ankle.

The biggest issue for me when following the latest trends is what to wear with them. I frequently end up with a new article of clothing that sits in my closet for months because I have nothing to wear with it. If you suffer from the some affliction of outfit-less shopping, I’ve got some solutions for what to wear with your boyfriend jeans. Let’s start from the top.

Shirts: Boyfriend jeans are fairly casual, so a go-to top can also be casual. Your best option is a simple white tank top or t-shirt. But either way, your top should be fitted to show of your curves and balance the loose jeans. If you live in a colder climate, try

Belts: A belt is a great way to add style to a boyfriend jean and draw attention to your midsection (assuming you want that). Katie Holmes wore a light brown distressed leather belt with her boyfriend jeans.

Shoes: The most flattering shoes to wear with this outfit will be heels. They will help balance the masculinity of the jeans and also counteract the shortening effect of wearing a cuff on your jeans. That isn’t to say you can’t wear flats, like a simple ballet flat or low top Chuck Taylors.
