Purple One Shoulder Dress

Purple one shoulder dresses are here! From the deepest grapes to the palest pastels, purple is illustriously majestic, and bursting with character. Matched with an asymmetrical design, the purple one shoulder dress unveils skin baring detail, ideal for creating angles and introducing unique structure to an ensemble.

The purple one shoulder dress can be worn well with contrasting hues (yellows, golds, oranges), these dresses are quintessentially sound in creating vibrant and exotic looks and for something more understated, can be balanced with classic pearl, noir and silver tones.

Donna Karan is renowned for her articulation of asymmetric designs, with Megan Fox being just one of the starlets to parade a sumptuous purple DK number. This piece in particular focused on lux ruching and a drama infused thigh high split, which guaranteed to brandish those enviable pins and supply reams and reams of glamour.

For your own purple one shoulder dress, consider various asymmetric detailing from shoulder straps and bands to flute wings and full length sleeves. Magnify purple tones and contrast with chic tailoring from structured blazers and sleek fitted jackets; this will create sharpness and will inevitably enhance the angularity of the dress. Go geek chic by teaming these elements with a skinny patterned belt, snowy ankle socks and polished platform brogues, developing further with a pair of tortoise shell frames to really round off the outfit.

As an ultimate party piece, the purple one shoulder dress can be frosted with jewels stemming from chandelier earrings and encrusted cuffs (note: neck pieces can unbalance a one shoulder look, so approach with care when accessorising). Embellished belts can also be an effortless means of injecting a little sparkle (dress dependant, of course), whilst also emphasising curves and cinching waists, creating beautifully defined silhouettes.

The same applies to the purple one shoulder dress should a formal occasion arise; pay homage to the first lady’s recent purple asymmetric gown (a Doo-Ri Chung creation), by finding designs which display snug fitting bodices, jewelled waists and full, floaty skirts. Mrs O keeps hair and make up simple with an understated up do and a natural complexion, allowing the one shoulder purple dress to take centre stage. Her shoes were kept understated in black but if you’re looking for more dashes of purple, check out Office for a unique collection of shoe candy, ranging from patent peep toes to strappy stilettoes, styles of which are sure to compliment your shoulder baring threads.
