Trending: One-Shoulder Tops and Dresses

Off-the-shoulder tops and dresses are all the rage right now. Everywhere you turn, stylish women are baring their shoulders with gorgeous off-the-shoulder pieces. But if you’re like me and experiencing a bout of OTS fatigue, I present the trending alternative: the one-shoulder top!

Like its collarbone-baring counterpart, the one-shoulder top (or dress!) allows you to wear some skin and show off all those arm exercises you’ve been doing in preparation for summer, but with an asymmetric twist. One-shoulder tops can work for a number of occasions, from covering up at the cabana poolside to an elegant wedding guest look.

The combination of ruffles and sharp lines adds an edgy yet flirty vibe to the top! Pair it with a flowy skirt for a full-on feminine look, or straight cut jeans for a sharp and effortless outfit.

This dress strikes a balance with its short hemline and loose silhouette, while giving a little extra skin in the back. I love the hand-painted effect of the print, great for a summer stroll on the town!

Alice + Olivia Melina One-Shoulder Dress

The minimalist in me couldn't be more in love! The pleated detail gives the perfect pinch of tailoring to an otherwise simple sheath dress. Hair-up, with fresh, dewy makeup, you'll be sure to feel like a modern-day greek goddess in this number.

What would be a summer shopping list without at least one wear-anywhere maxi? The light blue color is great on all skin tones, and the cinched waist with the bow-tie shoulder makes it stand out from all the other maxis out there.

M Missoni Metallic Knit One-Shoulder Top

The bright color combo makes this top great for summer outdoors events, like a concert in the park or a Sunday bbq. Wear it with a clean pair of white shorts to soak up the summer sun!
