3 Ways to Wear Only One Shoulder

One-shouldered gowns are the look of the moment. Well, one of them, anyways. But, how do you wear this one shouldered look without coming off like a disco princess wannabe? Here’s three ways, courtesy of Badgley Mischka.

This silk chiffon one-shouldered gown really makes a statement, and it isn’t “take me to the roller rink”. This drapey, dead sexy take on the one-shouldered look makes it black tie or red carpet ready. One way to keep a one-shouldered look current is by making sure it’s composed of a nice, sophisticated fabric, and not a shiny poly blend. Available for $459 (from $995).

This short, red one-shouldered dress has a caftan/kimono look. It’s not at the same level of chic as the gown above, but it would definitely start some fires on a night on the town. This look is going to take a good shoe choice to keep it from the nightgown arena, so I’d go with a closed toe to avoid the come-hither look of a mule. Flats would work, too. Available for $199 (from $440).

This sweet, short, one-shouldered dress walks the line between the other two. It’s dressy enough for an event, but too casual for black tie. As one the other dresses, the soft, gathered look of the fabric keeps the asymmetry from looking too severe. I love this dress with sparkly stilettos and a patent clutch. Available for $319 (from $695).
