How to Wear the One-Shoulder Trend

If you're looking for a different, dramatic look, you can't go wrong with a single shoulder - they provide a coquettish glimpse of skin, but cover enough to keep you comfortable. It's the perfect mix of edgy, sexy, and sophisticated.

1. Keep the rest of your look simple. A fabulous pair of shoes and a great bag are all you need with a one-shouldered dress.  If you're going to wear jewelry, try a cocktail ring or glitzy earrings - you don't want a necklace competing with your neckline!


Selena Gomez nails it with a one-shoulder look that opens up the neckline. She really doesn't need a necklace because the asymmetrical styling of the one-shoulder dress creates a nice fashion focal point.

2. Consider the underwear. Pick your bra wisely! One-shoulder styles demand a strapless bra. Those colorful bandeau bras you might have in your closet from last spring also work well under one-shoulder tops. Your bare shoulder provides the beauty of this look - don't clutter it with a bra strap!

3. Don't cover it up! This is a style that is made to be seen, not layered over. Shoulders are pretty universally attractive, so show it off, sister! If you need to keep warm, try an open blazer, cardigan, or bomber jacket so your cute threads can still be seen.

4.  It's all in the fit. Like most items of clothing, all magic dress uk one-shoulder dresses fit differently, so you're going to want to try on a variety of options before making your pick, from the traditional grecian style to one full sleeve or even a solo spaghetti strap. Pick what speaks to you and go from there!
