The model of a dress with one sleeve has been a fashion trend for several years. Chiffon and silk dresses of this style are in demand in summer, and knitted dresses are very popular in winter. However, such dresses are not suitable for all women at all and are not worn for any reason. Let's discuss what is interesting about outfits with one sleeve, who should wear them and what they wear this style with.

Peculiarities
A dress with only one sleeve is classified as an asymmetrical outfit. They are chosen mainly for special occasions, since such dresses attract the eyes and help to stand out against the background of other beauties. In addition, such an original top of the outfit shifts the emphasis from the lower part of the figure, which is suitable in cases where it is imperfect.

Most often, a dress with one sleeve is presented in monochromatic models, since they are expressive and original even without a bright print. In addition, a multi-colored motif will distract attention from an interesting cut and affect the contrast with the skin. For the same reason, decor is used to a minimum for such outfits.

Who is it suitable for?
Depending on the style, a dress with asymmetrical sleeves will suit both a slender beauty and a girl with curvaceous shapes. This dress will look best on a girl whose figure looks like a trapeze.
Skinny women should pay attention to tight-fitting outfits, while overweight women should pay attention to loose models. If you have imperfect legs, you can hide their unattractiveness with a long dress with asymmetrical sleeves.

You should avoid this style of dress in cases where:
- Your back is very broad and your shoulders are masculine.
- The skin on your hands looks saggy and loose.
- The chest or back is covered with rashes.
- Your breasts are large and without a bra they lose their shape.

Sleeve types
The sleeve in a dress of this style may differ in its length as well as in width. It can be both tight and long, and small, for example, in the form of a "wing". There are options for tight sleeves with a length slightly above the elbow, as well as long and wide sleeves. Three-quarter sleeves are also quite common. According to its location, the only sleeve can be both on the left and on the right side of the outfit.

Styles
The most common models without one sleeve are long evening dresses. They have a looser cut than short, tight outfits with asymmetric sleeves.

A minimally trimmed dress can serve as an everyday outfit, and a product made of velvet, brocade, silk and other expensive fabrics, which is trimmed with beads, lace inserts or rhinestones, will be an excellent choice for a celebration.
In short dresses without one sleeve, you can often see other interesting details of the cut, for example, a cutout at the waist or a bare back.

The most common dress models with asymmetric sleeves are:

What to wear with?
- Covering a dress with a single sleeve with outerwear (a jacket, cardigan or something similar) is not worth it, because then all the charm of the outfit and its main highlight are lost.
- If the dress with one sleeve is presented by a maxi model with a loose fit, then for an accent at the waist it can be worn with a belt.
- Loose dresses can be complemented with a hat, and a monochromatic clutch should be selected for a short, tight-fitting outfit.
- Tights or stockings are not worn under such dresses.

Shoes
You can wear sandals and sandals, as well as shoes under a dress with one sleeve. An evening outfit of this style goes well with open stiletto heels.

Accessories
If your dress with asymmetrical sleeves is rather laconic and is made in one color without much decoration, you should not choose too massive decorations for it in large quantities. Discreet earrings, one bracelet and a ring are enough.

I really like the one sleeve dresses. If one shoulder is exposed, the dress adds seductiveness.
