Tips to make the trend work for you
Start with a solid: Whether it’s trendy magenta or classic black, choose a solid-coloured one-shoulder piece if you are nervous about the style.
Belt it: Celebrities have been rocking one-shoulder dresses with hot belts to showcase their waists and keep their styles far from frumpy.
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 jewellery, try a cocktail ring or glitzy earrings.
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.
Mix and match: Pair a slouchy one-shoulder top with tight or a pencil skirt for a boho chic look. If you choose a tight top, wear baggy bottoms. Wearing pieces of different proportions will keep your look fresh and sophisticated.
It’s all in the fit: One-shoulder tops
fit differently, so you are going to want to try on a variety of options before making your pick. Pick what speaks to you and go from there.
Consider the underwear: Pick your bra wisely. One-shoulder styles demand a strapless bra.
