Fall Must Haves: One-Shoulder Dress


Whether it’s a dramatic floor-sweeping gown or a flirty cocktail frock, the one-shoulder dress is making a major statement this season. From the clean, minimalist look of Michael Kors to Yigal Azrouel’s 80’s-inspired purple number to the avant-garde shapes from Alexander Wang, there really isn’t one formula for how to make this look work. You may choose to adopt this trend as your go-to “Little Black Dress” – keep your dress versatile by featuring the asymmetrical shoulder as the main event rather than a ton of other details in addition to it. Change up your look by switching out your jewelry, handbags, and shoes. Even your hair and makeup can make the dress look totally new every time you wear it. We like this $68.00 version from Nordstrom (pictured) – even though it’s from the juniors department, the simple, flattering shape and solid color allow for a multitude of possibilities.
