Trend For Less
Asymmetrical Dresses: Trend for Less
One of the most popular trends this summer has been the asymmetrical dress. While this often translates to a one-shouldered dress or top, there are more creative styles than that - like varying lengths and patterns. We don’t like the dresses that are asymmetrical just for the sake of being asymmetrical. Everything’s gotta work together to create the perfect fashion statement.
We’ve got several asymmetrical dresses that you can nab for $100 and way under (not too shabby for quality trend-setting cocktail attire).
How to get the trend for less:
Interlock Asymmetrical Address from American Apparel, $42
Asymmetrical Silk Chifon Dress from Neiman Marcus, $88
Elle Asymmetrical Rosett Dress from Kohl’s, $29.99
Ikat Print: Trend for Less
Ikat print continues to be a major trend with pieces featuring the print popping up at every store from Forever21 to Macys to Saks. Ikat print isn’t to be confused with “African Print” - Ikat print involves the weaving of thread into a patterns, while African print usually involves the stamping/painting of a pattern on a piece of fabric. When wearing an Ikat printed item, keep the rest of your outfit simple, as the print IS your signature piece.
