Go ahead, live the adage, ‘make hay while the sun shines’, this summer!
Shed those layers and flaunt your best attributes: your shoulders and collarbones, in an off-shoulder top; or those shapely upper arms in a quirky cold-shoulder dress. Off shoulder tops give your trousers or denims an edge of elegance. Choose to embellish with a touch of embroidery, playful pompoms or dainty ruffles. Seen on the spring-summer runways of the likes of Giambattista Valli and Valentino, off shoulder dresses, tops and jumpsuits are currently on everyone’s must-have lists. Pop colours and pastels both are on fleek.
Cold shoulders work well on dresses, tops and fusion kurtas. Remember just a hint, a little peek-a- boo too works delightfully. The trick here is to ensure that the cold shoulder cut is executed to perfection to flatter your arms – the sleeves must not hang loose. Geometric patterns laid out in random blocks as you see here adds to the quirkiness of the cold-shoulder dress.
You may choose to flaunt your neck and collarbone without jewelry or try a minimal choker for the off shoulder top. For cold-shoulders, long neck pieces are your go-to. Use a cream bronzer on your shoulders & collar bones to give them a sun-kissed, glossy look… Dangle earrings if liked.
