Everywhere I turn it seems off-the-shoulder tops are slowly taking over the world, urging collarbones and clavicles to shimmy their ways out of normal shoulder-covering tops and into something a little more flirty. I for one love any chance to show off my shoulders, so count me as part of the fan club!
Off-the-shoulder tops come in two basic variations (fitted and loose) but for this post I've mainly focused on loose tops, as I think they are more suited for spring and summer. If it's a tunic-length top, I like pairing it with fitted pants or tucked in to a pencil or A-line skirt. If it's short or cropped, wide-leg trousers are the perfect compliment! As I always say, good styling is all about balancing proportions, so keep that in mind when creating an outfit featuring an off-the-shoulder top.
I also love the addition of a simple necklace, as it draws attention to the neckline and dresses things up a bit. A thin gold or silver pendant necklace is all you need.
