At first the one-shouldered look may catch you off guard, but it is a look that definitely grows on you.

And while it is popular on the runway recently, it’s not just for the catwalk.

To the left is Audrina Patridge showing off the look.

I like how she has her hair up to really show of the best part of the dress – that is, the one shoulder!

If you can get the look as inexpensive as the options shown here, it is definitely a trend worth your money.

Plus, simply add a dressy jacket over the top if you don’t want to be so asymmetrical or if you just want to sport a different look.

As far as accessories go, since it draws so much attention to your neckline, if you want you can head out the door without any necklaces – a perfect trend for the woman on the go.

This tight, black dress to the right is only $42 and is at American Apparel.

If you want more color, go for this lightweight, coral red dress to the right that has a tie around the waist and at the shoulder that makes it really versatile.

It is only $30 at American Apparel.

This soft, light yellow dress from lulus.com has a shoulder that reminds me of a petals on a flower.

You can get it for $60. It would look perfect with some black ankle boots.

If you are really into the trend, rock this monokini swim suit below that, yes, has only one shoulder. Get it at Charlotte Russe.

Lastly, if you don’t want a swim suit or a dress, there is this pretty magentic pink one-shouldered shirt from Forever 21.

It’s classy and less than $22 -- in other words, it's a great deal.
