In what image will a woman always look win-win and force passers-by to turn around after her? Of course, if she relied on a feminine, delicate, sophisticated style. Elegant dresses on one shoulder emphasize the female beauty. They have a certain zest that gives the image of mystery and charm.
Asymmetry boom
Over the past few years, asymmetry in dresses has not lost its popularity. This applies not only to skirts, tunics, but also to dresses. According to the male half of the population, dresses on one shoulder look sexy on women, and therefore attractive. Already many celebrities flaunted on the red carpet in a similar outfit, attracting the views of the public and paparazzi photo lenses.
Outfits with frills, ruffles and a variety of draperies are considered the most fashionable trend. All these elements can decorate the dress and bring tenderness and lightness to the overall bow. It is noteworthy that such models are suitable for almost everyone, regardless of body type, complexion and age. Absolutely every lady is able to choose the right option for herself.
Variety of models
Modern designers have created and continue to create an incredible variety of styles and models of asymmetric dresses, among which one-shoulder dresses occupy one of the first places on the podium. These are tight-fitting short models and are loose in the floor, medium length and below the knee. In addition, the dress can have one sleeve, the length of which also varies from shortened to long. A style with one long sleeve is considered to be a special squeak of fashion, the cut of which is made differently by designers: there is a sleeve-flashlight, sleeve-wing, sleeve-frill, decorated with embroidery, frills, rhinestones, print, etc.
Models are also being developed in which, in addition to one sleeve, asymmetric skirts, pleats, and layering are present. In the past and current seasons, styles of dresses appeared on the catwalk, in which instead of the missing sleeve they placed a wide strap or only the bottom of the sleeve, which looks quite original.
What fabrics are used to create models on one shoulder? Lightweight, flying materials (chiffon, silk, lace) and denser fabrics (brocade, knitwear, satin) are also suitable here.
How to choose the right
The choice must be made based on the type of figure and height. Long dresses on one shoulder are perfect for a wedding celebration, anniversary, any ceremony, prom. It is better for young ladies to choose a medium-length cocktail dress with a high waist or a looser “Empire” style made of dense material, since a soft fabric can only emphasize all the shortcomings.
Elegant and slender girls will suit both long and short options. The latter will “emphasize” beautiful legs. If a woman has wide shoulders, then you need to carefully select a similar outfit, since it draws attention to the bare shoulders.
Another aspect when choosing clothes is skin color. A dress with one sleeve in black will contrast with white skin and emphasize femininity. Dark-skinned ladies can wear a dress of saturated blue, green and red shades. It is these color trends that are observed in the design collections of the current year.
Who should refuse such a dress? First of all, it will not work for girls with a large breast size, which will simply lose shape without support and will look slightly vulgar. Here, the option with a wide shoulder strap on the bare shoulder is suitable. Also, do not wear an outfit for ladies with very full arms, which with their shoulders open will be too visible.
Where to wear
A simple, open-shoulder summer dress can be used for daily wear. In this case, natural fabrics, a calm color or an unobtrusive print will do.
A cocktail dress on one shoulder with a frill will fit perfectly at a cocktail or corporate party. It can be midi length or long to the floor. And for graduates, such a dress, unlike a magnificent one, will provide an opportunity to dance all night long and look at the same time fresh and fashionable.
Long models of evening dresses with an open shoulder are purchased for special occasions and ceremonies. So, bridesmaids often choose a summer dress in bright colors, for example, coral, pink. Also in this case, powdery, lavender, etc.
Stars of the world of show business often turn to dresses on one shoulder for publication, in particular, for the presentation of a prestigious award, premiere, etc.
What to combine with
As for shoes, it is better to choose shoes or sandals with high heels, open type. For example, a dress on one shoulder with a sleeve will look great with shoes, and summer models of dresses can be successfully combined with sophisticated sandals. Of the accessories, you can take a clutch and oversized earrings. Sometimes a correctly selected bracelet fits into the image.
Since the bet in the dress is placed on the bare shoulder, which in itself is a "decoration element", the image should not be overloaded. If you buy a dress with frills, then let them be few.
