Wearable spring fashion trend #3 for 2010 is asymmetric fashion. Designers have come up with all sorts of ways to create asymmetric fashion looks from one-shoulder dresses to hems that dip at the side or back to style details concentrated on just one side of a garment.

Although some of these asymmetric features may seem a bit quirky at times, asymmetric fashion can be quite lovely and flattering when it's done well. There's no reason for a petite woman to avoid one-shoulder styles or other asymmetrical details as long as they don't create horizontal lines or drape in a way that creates too much bulk or a great deal of volume in an overwhelming amount of fabric.

Compare prices on one-shoulder tops.
