One shoulder dresses were on the runways in 2008 and are here to stay in 2009. They are a great way to show off some skin in different way…rather than the typical cleavage. Celebrities have been wearing these at premieres, the red carpet, or just out on the town. Rihanna, Lauren Conrad, Kate Winslet and Drew Barrymore have all been seen wearing this style. Because this type of dress comes in so many styles, you are bound to find one that is flattering on you.

Sleeves: One shoulder dresses look flattering whether long, short or sleeveless. Pink Mascara has a great sleeveless dress on sale for $45.99. Shopbop.com has a long bell sleeve dress in several colors for $189 and a short flutter sleeve option for $194.

Length: One shoulder dresses can be found in all lengths from mini to floor length. Although floor length is usually considered formal, Lauren Conrad’s jersey dress paired with flat sandals can be an every day look. You can find her dress on sale for $130 at shopbop.com. If you are petite, a knee-length dress will look the most flattering on you. If you want to show off your gams, Rumor.com sells a grey one shoulder mini for $64. For a knee-length style, I would check out the bright blue option on sale for $75 at edressme.com.

Color: Looking to add this to your “little black dress” collection? Try Calvin Klein’s one shoulder sheath available at Macy’s for $138. Bold colors are great for spring and ABS has a ruffled teal version of this style on sale at Nordstrom.com for $143.90. If you want a bright pattern, try Kenneth Cole’s one shoulder silk print dress on sale for $74.99. When shopping for one shoulder dresses with a pattern, keep your stature in mind…large prints will overwhelm a small frame.
