If you want to add an unpredictable twist to your wardrobe, select and wear an asymmetrical dress. This is an easy way to display your fashion sense.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Asymmetrical print wrap dress
  • Asymmetrical black dress
  • Leggings
  • Tights
  • Booties
  • Pumps
  • Skinny jeans
  • Gold necklaces
  • Gold knot earrings
Step1
Select an asymmetrical dress that has a classic feel to it. For instance, a wrap dress in a subtle print of navy and white or red and cream will add a sophisticated touch when worn with well-cut pumps and a simple clutch bag. Try on patterned dresses in different cuts and lengths to find an uneven hemline that flatters your legs.
Step2
Instantly transform a simpler dress into a trendier look by pairing it with leggings and shoe booties and adding a big, slouchy bag.
Step3
Choose a simple black dress with an asymmetrical neckline that you can dress up or dress down. Wear it to work belted with a cardigan or blazer and tights and flats or heels. Or make it work for a formal occasion by baring your arms and adding strapping sandals and sparkling accessories.
Step4
Change a sleeveless asymmetrical dress into a jumper by slipping a turtleneck or long-sleeve t-shirt underneath. Also try it with skinny jeans or leggings for a different vibe.
Step5
Explore the range of asymmetrical styles that exist. You can find off-center necklines, hemlines, seams, shoulders and other unique details to distinguish your dress from others out there.
Step6
Keep your accessories simple with an asymmetrical dress. Try gold chains, simple gold knot earrings or thin gold bracelets to offset the trendiness of the dress.

Tips & Warnings

  • Play with different fabrics to find what suits you best. Asymmetrical dresses can come in any weight and cut.
  • Look for dresses with a custom designer feel. Make sure they fit you well, or have them tailored to your form.
  • Avoid an asymmetrical dress that looks dowdy. A too-long hemline or big shoulder pads can look dated instead of chic.
