TREND WATCH - OFF-THE-SHOULDER

” Dare to Bare” : Ready to shrug off your sleeves !!!! If your answer is yes: then this trend is definitely for you. This shoulder-baring, off-the-shoulder trend has enjoyed a fair share in the fashion scene and continues to be a favorite this summer. Not only does it bring out the sultry in you by showing off those gym-sweated clavicle, but it also makes for the chicest beach-to-bar wear.

The key to pulling off this trend, is to wear the right kind of undergarments: a well fitted strapless bra would be an ideal choice. Steering clear of ill-fitted basics is highly recommended .. 😉 . Choose a cropped-style or a longer-hem, in a top or that sassy-summer dress, picking out one with on-point fit would bring out the old-school glamour in you.

An off-the-shoulder top can be worn with a pair of jeans, cut-off shorts or even a fitted midi/mini skirt. Keeping the bottom half fuss-free aka less detailed would be visually-balancing. With all the ruching around the elastic neckline, you don’t want to add bulk with a heavy bottom. When wearing a dress, a cute pair of wedges for the day, and a sexy pair of heels for the night, would make the look pop. Avoid wearing any/too many necklaces, let your blouse do all the talking.

I have hand-picked a few tops and dresses that are sure to make you look and feel your best this summer !
