It’s the perfect time to show a little skin. And the latest fashion trends are helping you put it all out there (in a classy way) with the popular one shoulder dresses.

First they hit runways and now they’ve landed in the hippest boutiques in the city. Where to find such a coveted frock? Head over to Le Dress, a trendy boutique in Bucktown.

Le Dress owners Robyn and Eva took note of the high demand for one shoulder pieces and have added some of the hottest ones on the market to their boutique.

Stay classic with a one shoulder version of that little black dress, perfect for a millions occasions from the classic summer wedding to a hot night out in the city.

Or, make a statement with a bright color like the Young, Fabulous, and Broke hot pink and patterned dress ($178); this one could be just the right ensemble for staging a run-in with your ex (just to let him know you are even more fabulous – and hot, you might add - since he unexpectedly stopped calling).

But if you can only afford to get your hands on one of these numbers (hey, it’s a recession, people!), we recommend hauling arse over to Le Dress asap to pick up the white Grecian number by Gado Gado ($138). Jennifer Lopez arrived just this past weekend at her 40^th birthday party dressed in a Grecian-inspired number by Roberto Cavalli, so the one shoulder plus Grecian combo is right on the money. Of course, you won’t have Marc Anthony on your arm as an accessory, but let's face it; that's a good thing.
