One shoulder looks are hot for the upcoming 2013 prom season! What better way to rock a sculpted shoulder than with a tease of skin that’s still classy, but also sexy. The great thing about off-the-shoulder prom gowns is that they work well on almost any female body type and height because they bring attention up, which is great for those with heavier bottom halves. They also do their part to emphasize the waist on short or hour-glass shapes, as well as willowy shapes with few curves.

The geometric cut of many off-the-shoulder styles sweeps just across the chest and lands just below the shoulders to accentuate long arms, back, shoulders, as well as a full chest in a romantic, sweep.

You can easily add some sparkle to your off-the-shoulder gown because the neck placement allows for accessories – like a statement necklace or bracelets, shiny gloves, or even shimmering body lotion to show off your beautiful skin.

Here are the top 10 one-shoulder looks for prom night 2013…

Don’t forget the hair…

Now that you’ve found the perfect one-shoulder prom dress, you’ll need an equally stunning hair style to show off those gorgeous shoulders, back, and geometric neckline. Here are 3 hairstyles that I would recommend for off-the-shoulder gowns…

1. Tasseled up-do
Think wavy and pulled-back with a seemingly off-center part to play up and flatter your high cheek bones, sculpted shoulders, and gorgeous neckline. [Instructional video here]

2. The asymmetrical bob
If you’ve got sculpted shoulders worth showing off, you’ll do them justice in a shoulder skimming asymmetric bob that adds a little edge to your already sexy style. Willing to take the plunge and get the cut? Try taking your asymmetrical bob curly! [Instructional video here]

3. Long, loose, side-swept curls
To balance out a fuller face, try long, loose curls, side-parted with bangs that sweep everything to the bare shoulder side. This will help draw focus to your embellished strap or stunning peek-a-boo neckline. [Instructional video here]
