From crinolines to sweatshirts
This summer, women's clothing with open shoulders is at the peak of popularity again. Why again? Because this trend shook the world a long time ago, first appearing in combination with crinolines. Oddly enough, for many centuries, the guardians of morality were very worried about open legs, but not at all surprised by bare shoulders. As a result, aristocratic dresses exposed the bust and shoulders, which were only sometimes covered with a cape. These exciting images were constant must-haves of social events and successfully migrated into the twentieth century. In the 30s, the fashion for open shoulders received another surge - glamorous divas turned to it, who, together with their shoulders, exposed their backs and threw a boa over this exciting beauty. As a result, the whole world picked up this trend, imitating their heroines from Hollywood. After that, there were waves of the 70s, 80s, 90s...
Off-the-shoulder top – a must-have for summer 2016
And today, the trend of open shoulders has found its place in women's wardrobe. And it's not just about dresses: now you can reflect this trend in any item of clothing. Tops and blouses, sweaters and sweatshirts, overalls and suits, and even jackets - everything has succumbed to the fashion trend. And a dress with open shoulders or an asymmetrical cut that exposes one of them - certainly remained a favorite of fashionistas in the 21st century.
Embroidered clothes were not left aside
Have you ever thought that Ukrainian embroidery can be successfully interpreted into a modern vision of fashion?! Today's trend in the form of open shoulders has very successfully fit into things with Ukrainian embroidery. Just look how interesting ordinary embroidery becomes if you combine them with modern fashion trends. Such models are equipped with an elastic band, thanks to which you can vary the depth and width of the neckline.
Thus, it can be easily argued that everything new is a well-forgotten old, and in the case of open shoulders – it was not even necessary to forget. Some fashionable features of this trend are, of course, worth noting separately. First, unlike the last decades of the last century, open shoulders have ceased to be so firmly associated only with the hippie style. Now the emphasis can be placed on the femininity and romance of the image. And the "look" itself can be created in almost any urban style – even office style. Are you surprised? Don't be afraid, we will be happy to tell you how to correctly combine clothes with open shoulders with other wardrobe items.
What to wear with?
First, you can create a casual look with jeans or trousers. This is the easiest combination and, if you are new to the described trend, you can start with it.
Secondly, there is a trend where, for example, an off-shoulder top can be made less romantic by pairing it with leather leggings or a trench coat. This is a popular trend, especially for those who choose minimalism and don't want to dive headfirst into a whirlpool of ruffles and flounces.
Thirdly, ethnic motifs are in fashion, which go very well with bare shoulders. Since frills, ruffles and lace are necessary for such a "look", femininity, touchingness and romance are guaranteed.
In any case, whatever style you prefer, give preference to light summer fabrics. These are staple, lace, guipure, chiffon and others. But you should not overload such an image with accessories: limit yourself to bracelets, rings and earrings, without placing additional emphasis on the neckline. There, the open shoulders and neckline of your top will do all the work.
Who does it suit?
Almost everyone! Or rather, everyone in general. Women's shoulders are simply created to demonstrate them. After all, it is always sexy, feminine and elegant. And since the warm days will soon end, hurry up and enjoy your own attractiveness. It is worth noting separately, of course, that owners of broad shoulders and curvaceous shapes should be careful with such models - some may not suit them.
Where to wear it?
The idea that bare shoulders are appropriate only on the beach or at a party is completely wrong. For office work, a blouse or shirt with bare shoulders is quite suitable, its combination will be interesting with a midi skirt or culottes. Shoes can also be diverse - from rough loafers to light ballet flats.
If you are planning a walk, then confidently combine an off-shoulder top with jeans. It all depends on your taste and style: boyfriends, jeggings, classics, ripped jeans and flared jeans - whatever you want. Plus loafers or sneakers.
For a formal event, an elegant dress with open shoulders or an asymmetrical neckline is the best option. Both ballet flats and high-heeled sandals will be appropriate here.
Summing up the story, I would like to urge you, ladies, to always be feminine, gentle and stylish. And we will try to help you with this :-) And remember that embroidered dresses are an absolute must-have in the wardrobe of a true fashionista.
