Must-Have One Shoulder Dresses For Summer

If you ask us, one-shoulder dresses are a must for summer 2022. Firstly, they’re seriously pretty and work for so many different occasions. Secondly, their asymmetric style gives you a truly unique, and memorable look every time. Therefore, we’re adding the Riley ring dress by Nookie to our lineup immediately. This slinky white maxi is perfectly fresh and cool for summer. Additionally, the cut-out waist, thick one-shoulder strap, and thigh-high split are eternally sultry and right on trend! Finally, add the 95mm Nudistsong leather sandals by Stuart Weitzman for an enviable block color look.

 

Meanwhile, we have print connoisseurs covered too! The Mckinnon dress by Amanda Uprichard x Revolve is the mini dress of our summer dreams. Its one shoulder strap is fun and playful thanks to its fluttery, ruffle effect. Additionally, the sweetheart neckline, fitted waist, and gently flared skirt are playful and undeniably pretty. Therefore, they tie in perfectly with the eye-catching floral print! Finally, opt for metallic heels to lengthen your silhouette or a colorful pair to enhance the print. We’ll be reaching for the hot pink open-toe strap sandals by Gianvito Rossi without a doubt.

Unforgettable Designer One Shoulder Dresses

Though we adore all of the one-shoulder dresses on our list, these two are especially stunning. Firstly, the San Basilio asymmetric mini by Johanna Ortiz. Its eternally elegant draped neckline and bodice give it a luxurious, Grecian vibe that we just adore. Meanwhile, the flattering wrap skirt accentuates your curves and allows for more than a glimpse at your legs. Additionally, its khaki green hue and vibrant brown and fuchsia floral print are a match made in heaven. Team this dress with flat tan sandals or add heels to dress it up!

 

Alternatively, when the occasion or your style calls for more muted tones, Ulla Johnson has you covered. The Hazel gown has the most beautiful leopard ikat print, one long sleeve, and a gorgeous tiered ankle-length skirt. Additionally, the muted tones are ideal for this time of year and will pair perfectly with simple heels and gold jewelry. Our advice? Style yours with the exquisite Rockstud No Limit 100 leather sandals by Valentino Garavani!
