Paired with the fashion world’s love of bold colors, this list of asymmetrical dresses and rompers are a sure fire way to make a statement. One strap will do the trick whether it’s a playful green romper, a bold pink dolman, a body-hugging piece of plum, a sassy citron silk or a romantic red cocktail dress.
