Christian Siriano AW09
One shouldered dresses are nothing new in fashion but they are indeed the style of choice at the moment, we counted just 81 in New York from everyone from Michael Kors to Badgley Mischka. Celebrities including Cheryl Cole and Freida Pinto are also big fans of the look.
What is it about these dresses that has made them so popular with designers and celebrities alike though?
Perhaps it's the way that this cut allows you to show some skin but in a classier way than a low cleavage or a short skirt. A flash of shoulder, and a hint of the back can be very sexy.
Another bonus from this style is that the asymmetrical cut can have a slimming effect on the body. Brilliant!
You don't have to have a catwalk friendly budget to try out this trend though. We've picked our three favourite from the high street so the hard work is done for you!
For a classic look we love River Island's little black dress with a one shoulder twist, £39.99. It is the perfect number for any occasion. If you fancy something a bit more colourful though try Topshop's colour block dress, £38, perfect for this season's 80s trend.
If it's something special you're after though what about this Matthew Williamson-esque dress by Warehouse, £75. Not only does it have the one shoulder trend but it also ticks the 3D detail and draoing material trend boxes! It's a fashion hat-trick!
