One of the latests trends that I have been loving, is the off the shoulder look. It's a timeless piece that can suit anybody. There is something about showing off your shoulders that is flirty, yet classy. This trend can really be worn as a shirt, dress, or even a bodysuit. There are so many ways to make it your own, it is hard to just pick one. Personally, I love to wear an off the shoulder shirt with ripped jeans and a chocker. By adding the chocker, it elevates the look from simple to edgy. It's a casual look that takes us back to the 50s, where we can channel our inner Sandy Olsson.
This trend does not just have to be edgy, but it can also be more feminine. The way to dress this up is to wear a dress that is off the shoulder. It can be worn with a pair of heels and you instantly have an outfit that can be worn to a party or a special occasion. I think that the key to fashion is to explore and try things that you usually would not. This trend is so versatile that it will become a staple in a lot of people's closets. It is one of the main reasons why it has become so popular in the past few months. Also because we are in summer and people tend to show a little more skin.
Most of the inspiration for this trend was brought to us by the runway during the spring show at New York fashion week. It also helps that we now have social media to see what everybody is wearing, especially on Instagram. There are many celebrities that have been sporting the off the shoulder look, such as models like Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid. The thing is,not only super models can wear them. Model and body activist Ashley Graham has also been wearing this trend as seen on her Instagram account. In one of her pictures she was wearing a fitted black off the shoulder dress and in another a loose fitted dress. These pictures are just examples of how to style this trend and to show that really anyone can wear it. But it does not stop there. The trend has expanded to swimsuits that have an off the shoulder ruffle, making it a little more fun! I think that it is really inspirational and interesting how we can bring back styles that have already been worn in other decades. The difference is that with so many new things to accessories and add to an outfit, the look totally changes and then it becomes ours. The good thing about this trend being so popular is that you can find it in almost any clothing store. Such as Target, American Eagle, Old Navy and so much more. You do not have to spend a lot of money to always be on point and on trend!
