Trend alert: The off-shoulder silhouette

By  | 

Are you over the current crop top trend? It’s time to celebrate as this season we are all about baring the shoulders and not abs. This shoulder baring trend is the it thing now thanks to the countless number of celebrities who are embracing it.

There’s something dainty and feminine about well sculpted collar bones, why not show them off? Almost every piece of clothing has a make with the Off-shoulder silhouette; from frills to rompers and dresses. The styling is also super easy. It is all about feeling girly so match your off-shoulder piece with something fun, funky and playful i.e. high waisted trousers or mid length skirts.
