Off Shoulder Trend and Tassel Love – Outfit Look

From tops to jumpsuits the off-shoulder trend is everywhere and clearly here to stay. So if you haven’t already invested in a few off-shoulder pieces then catch on because this style doesn’t seem to going out of fashion anytime soon. Since the time we first saw it on the runway, the basic off-shoulder top has gone from the regular solid to stripes, cold shoulder to cut out, and asymmetrical to embellish. It’s not stopping there because the off-shoulder trend seems to be getting more stylish by the day.

Off-shoulder tops are perfect for summer and look good on everyone. They are preppy, boho and fun. You can wear a striped off-shoulder coordinated set on a holiday or a warm summer day or pair an embroidered off-shoulder blouse with striped pants for work. For a casual Sunday or a day on the

For a casual Sunday or a day on the beach, you can sport a printed off-shoulder dress with a hat and flip flops or a lacy off-shoulder blouse and ripped short. The choices are endless with this versatile trend. It’s so easy and effortless to pair trend with different outfits in your wardrobe. No wonder this bohemian style is one of the hottest this season. You can even play with accessories when sporting the off-shoulder trend. You can keep it simple and elegant with a statement necklace or edgy with a lacy choker.

I recently got an Off-shoulder top with colourful tassel detailing. The colourful tassels add a bit of flirty and fun flare to the entire outfit and paired the top with a pair of ripped cropped denim. The best part of the off-shoulder trend is the unique neckline. You can keep the outfit simple by just baring your neck and shoulder as is for a sleek and elegant look or add a necklace for a stylish look. But remember one thing, when wearing an off-shoulder top, Keep the neckline of the top or dress clean and don’t go for accessories which go beyond the neckline.

You can also pair the outfit with bold statement earrings if you aren’t a fan of neck pieces. Trendy sunglasses and a hat are also a good addition to the outfit if you are wearing it on a sunny day. I paired my off-shoulder top with a short but chunky silver necklace, bracelets and a colorful bag which matches the tassel detailing. I love to flaunt my neckline when sporting this top because the detailing is so lovely, so I went for a side swept braid. Also when stepping out in the sun I make sure I always have my shades on. I believe shades are essential to a summer wardrobe. So there you go; my stylish yet casual off-shoulder trend. You can also style this top with shorts, culottes or a trouser based on the occasion.

5 Ways To Pull Off The Off-Shoulder Trend

If you’ve kept up with the latest posts from top fashion bloggers and the Spring/Summer runway trends, you’d notice that off-shoulder silhouettes are huge. From peasant blouses to boho dresses, this trend is being implemented with a wide range of wardrobe pieces. Off-shoulders let you stay cool and comfy during the warm summer months, so it’s the ideal trend to try right now. As easy as it may seem to pull off this look, you can still go wrong. Take a look at some of these tips to guide you and help you perfect the look:

Wear it as a classy evening look – The off-shoulder trend can be teamed up with evening wear for a polished and stylish look. Maybe you could wear a tight-fitting piece with a flouncy skirt courtesy of the fifties. Classic pumps will complete this outfit. You can also wear a bodycon off-shoulder cocktail dress with a statement necklace that will flatter your neckline. Graphic patterns and bold prints may look great, but opt for solids and neutrals if you’re looking for an investment piece.Off-shoulder-1

Wear it with overalls for a casual look – An off-shoulder peasant blouse looks perfect for a casual outfit. To keep up with the latest trends, pair it with overalls which have made a huge comeback. Mix it all up by wearing a Romanian-print blouse with distressed denim overalls and complete the look with pointed-toe skimmers. The distressed overalls will balance out the feminine and delicate features of the blouse and shoes.Off-shoulder-2Source: Around Lucia

For a casual chic look, wear the blouse with fitted overalls and heeled mules. A quirky graphic handbag will be perfect for adding some flair to the outfit. Otherwise, you could ditch the heels for comfortable shoes like classic white sneakers or patent leather oxfords.

Wear a cropped piece with formal separates – With cropped tops being another huge trend, you can infuse both trends together by wearing a cropped off-shoulder top. Create a polished look by pairing this top with formal separates like a midi skirt or a pair of wide-leg trousers. Culottes are also an excellent choice, which are both trendy and classy.Off-shoulder-3Source: Become chic

If you’re wearing it with midi skirts, you can either go for a layered one or a narrow pencil cut. Pull together this entire look with a pair of subdued metallic pumps. As for the wide-leg trousers, opt for strappy stilettos or heeled mules in bold solid colors.

Create a boho chic look – Nothing says boho like peasant tops, so an off-shoulder peasant top is perfect for channeling the boho chic look. Opt for pieces in lace or other lightweight materials to pull off the look. Unless you’re planning to wear it as a seventies hippie Halloween costume, avoid wearing the top with a maxi skirt. Maybe you could pair it with denim shorts instead.Off-shoulder-4Source: Where to Get It

Otherwise, get an off-shoulder boho dress that will work great with anything. You could either dress this up with stilettos or dress it down with trainers. High-rise gladiator sandals may also be a good choice for dressing down this look. Open-toe booties may be perfect for the edgy rocker chic look with elements of boho style.

Wear an off-shoulder dress as a beach cover-up – If you’re looking forward to a lazy day at the beach, why not do it in style? Instead of your usual kaftan or sarong, use a summery off-shoulder dress as a cover-up for your swimwear. Look for something that has embellishments in macramé or lace to make this look work. Don’t forget a pair of colorful sandals to complete your outfit. A straw hat and a pair of oversized sunglasses are optional but they can help you create a chic beach-bound look.

An important thing to remember before wearing the off-shoulder trend is that it’s not always easy to find the right fit. Unless you don’t mind some wardrobe malfunctions, make sure you carefully select a piece that fits perfectly along the top end. Feel how it fits around your shoulder and your bust, so you can avoid having it slip off while wearing it.

Off-shoulder tops and dresses are already a fashion statement by themselves. So you don’t want to overdo it by wearing chunky jewelry. If you feel the need to wear jewelry, opt for something that’s minimal. Maybe a thin-strand necklace or a pair of minimal dangle earrings will do the trick. The good news is that you can wear your hair however you wish. Tie your hair back in a messy bun or ponytail and leave the neckline expose. Otherwise, just wear it down for a comfortable and laid-back look.

Some women like experimenting with fashion, while some aren’t too daring. If you’re among the latter yet you wish to try the off-shoulder trend, why not go for a single off-shoulder piece? This could work with your formal trousers or skirts for a polished and stylish look. Whatever you decide to wear, make sure you express yourself boldly through your outfit.
