A piece I've been really loving this summer, that I think can definitely be transitioned into these early fall months is the off the shoulder top. They’re great in the summer heat for festivals, paired with high waisted shorts and chokers as seen below, but you can definitely take this slightly risqué piece with you as you transition into the colder fall months.

Paired with ripped boyfriend jeans, you can definitely harden the look of the off-the shoulder top and add a bit of edge. The strappy heels make this is a sophisticated yet casual look for running errands in the city.

For the colder fall months, a soft cashmere off the shoulder top can be dressed down with light wash jeans. Comfortable, but yet effortlessly chic and classy. Pair this look with large hoops and red lipstick for a more retro vibe and to liven a simple outfit.

For a more edgy look, pair your off the shoulder top with slicked back hair, large statement earrings and a bright lipstick.

My favorite is the off the shoulder knit tops. They're super lightweight and easy to wear with cropped skinny jeans. Pair it with flared jeans for a more 70's style look. Add on a lightweight trench coat to keep yourself warm on chilly fall nights.

I definitely think an off-the-shoulder top is an essential for this fall season. It's a simple top with a lot to say.
