Earlier this season we wrote about transparency and the little black dress but there's another silhouette gaining momentum--the one shouldered look. One shouldered looks are popping up in all colors and prints but we happen to think they look best on a solid black, body-skimming dress. Glamorous and sophisticated we find this modern LBD a chic choice indeed.

This season's little black dress comes in as many varieties as ever but this time around they're rendered with mesh. Whether you're going for the power babe, body-con Alexander Wang look or something more demure and geometric like Acne's version you can pretty much find what you want. We especially love this look with dewy, minimal makeup and bare legs--it certainly makes the old LBD routine seem fresh again.
