How to Style a One-Shoulder Top by Body Type?

Apple-Shaped

  • Tip: Look for flowy one-shoulder tops that define the waist and draw attention to the neckline. Balance with wide-leg pants or A-line skirts.

Pear-Shaped

  • Tip: Use the one-shoulder design to bring the eye upward. Opt for tops with detailing (ruffles, pleats) on the shoulder, and keep bottoms sleek and dark.

Hourglass

  • Tip: Choose fitted styles that hug the waist. Tuck into high-rise bottoms to accentuate your shape.

Rectangle

  • Tip: Create volume and curves with ruching, draping, or layered textures. Try asymmetric hems or peplum details.

What Bra to Wear with a One-Shoulder Top?

  • Strapless bras: A classic solution that keeps the neckline clean.

  • Convertible bras: Adjustable straps can be configured to one-shoulder mode.

  • Adhesive bras or nipple covers: Great for low-cut or tight-fitting styles that don’t work with traditional bras.
