One-shoulder and off-shoulder dresses have long been a red carpet favorite. These frocks are not too revealing, but they show off a subtle kind of sexiness and femininity without trying too hard.
They work regardless of the event, season, and even your figure because they keep you sophisticated with just a hint of sexiness.
Sexy shoulder-baring dresses are also perfect for the spring and summer seasons. If you’ve grown tired of the usual cleavage- and leg-baring dresses and want to turn things up a bit, shoulder-baring frocks have just the right amount of “oomph” to add sizzle to your wardrobe.
We scouted photos of celebrities baring their sexy shoulders on the red carpet. We can’t decide which one is sexier, though — the off-shoulder or the one-shoulder dress. What do you think?
