Asymmetric Fashion – Still a Strong Trend


Last year the major trend for women’s clothing shapes was the asymmetric cut aka the one shoulder. This was a massive trend for dresses throughout the year and it looks set to continue right the way through Spring/Summer 2010. Celebrities have quickly adopted this trend, bravely baring one shoulder on red carpets everywhere whether it be at the latest première or at fashion events. There is something ever so sexy and womanly about exposing the shoulder, and when you get your outfit correct it can be a complete show stopper. The diagonal line of the garment narrows across the upper body and the look is seductive and chic without being over the top or the dreaded “slutty”. Now is time ladies to update your asymmetric wardrobe with some new Spring/Summer styles.

This spring sees a rise in short, sassy asymmetric dresses in bold bright colours such as coral and pink which arebound to get you noticed. You do not have to plump for a dress however… there are many variations on the trend and this year you can pick up a playsuit, top or even a body in a one shoulder cut. This means this year we should see more variation than ever on the trend with women pairing asymmetric bodies with jeans and a blazer for cooler days and when the weather picks up; shorts, wedges and one shoulder tops for a simple day time look. Of course in order to wear a one-shouldered style well then a good strapless bra is essential to give an uplifting silhouette, whilst smooth and tanned shoulders are a must; so exfoliate and apply the fake tan for that exposed glowing summer skin.

Celebrity Examples

This trend has been picked up by all the A-List Fashionistas recently including Cheryl Cole, Victoria Beckham, Katy Perry and Blake Lively so you know you will be in good company this season:


Hope everyone had a great weekend! XO
