One Shouldered Tops and Dresses
The one shouldered trend has been roaring all summer, and to be honest, I have a mixed feelings about it. It can be a modern and sexy take on Grecian, especially if you have great arms, but take note of a few guidelines when wearing it.
I've seen many women who are unaware of their bodies and the lines they are creating, and they end up with a one-shouldered top that makes them look overly broad-shouldered or does strange things to their breasts. This can be solved with a different strap width.
Also, this trend requires a strapless or convertible bra. Wearing a normal bra looks out of place. Going without a bra can make you look lopsided. Also, make sure you're not showing cleavage as that makes you, not the shirt, look asymmetrical.
In summation, think of your boobies, ladies!![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNa8007KEHZAbd0PLupY0NfIr6ZYufG5j6cD1QcMxhx7VElIXOl_zgEyxrdld_jsUzpDkE6htJAR-f11Kv6CFI_nOjMQ4q3yzVCoiZeyVYLMTQ9Dm_b6vkCiFxiV3oPfH2uF4H28xFtDru/s400/one+shouldered+dresses.jpeg)
