Ask BB: How to Wear a One-Shoulder Ruffle Dress





Rashida Jones, Kate Hudson, and Rachel Bilson reveal three stylish ways to wear a one-shoulder ruffle dress.


I just bought a one-shoulder, ruffled, little black dress because I absolutely fell in love with it. [How can I] dress it up to make it look fresh and fun for a 20 year old? —RD

Three words: Bracelet, clutch, pumps. A bold cuff bracelet or bangle is all the jewelry you really need. Skip a necklace, which will just compete with the one-shoulder neckline for attention. Carry a clutch and avoid the awkward dilemma of placing a purse strap across the ruffle or your bare shoulder. And rock some ladylike, closed-toe pumps which will balance the look and give it a polished finish. Here are some sample accessories to help you get started:

Good call. Bold-yet-simple accessories are the way to go with a dress that kinda has a lot going on already.

I've got a one-shoulder royal blue bubble hem dress from F21 that I've had for a year almost and still haven't worn yet! I'm waiting for my arms to get slimmer, lol.

Do love the look though - so exotic and Grecian. Just better for thinner arms :S

My one accessory for sure would be double sided tape....just to be sure that everything stays in place!
