HOT LOOK: SUBTLE & SMOOTH SHOULDER ACCENTED DRESS

2009 saw the '80s trend of large, sharp accented shoulders return to top fashion sported by the likes of Rihanna and Lady Gaga, then the trend fell quiet for a short while. Its now the year 2011 and the accented shoulder has returned - this time in a subtler style.

The smooth accented shoulder, displayed on designer dresses such as Roland Mouret and Antonio Berardi, is perfect for heightening the style of a plain gown elevating a look to glamorous, high fashion standards. For Kim Kardashian, who has a voluptuous figure, this subtle shoulder height can stretch her appearance creating a more flattering, balanced proportion of body shape.

Although a subtle feature on a dress, smooth accented shoulders create enough of a striking effect that the rest of the dress should remain plain in colour, simple in cut and body skimming in shape. Just enough of a modernised twist on your plain evening gown.
