When the temperatures start dropping, we have no choice but to start covering up more. But it’s possible to dress for fall and still show a little bit of skin. Cold shoulder and off-the-shoulder dresses, shirts and even sweaters with a ’70s vibe have skyrocketed to popularity this summer. You can easily transition this comfy trend into fall, too!
The best part about the off-the-shoulder trend is that you can wear it casually or out at night. Dress it down for daytime like this Fashionista by pairing a flowing off-the-shoulder dress with simple jewelry, comfortable shoes and a leather tote. Dress it up for a night on the town by wearing an off-the-shoulder cropped top with dark or black denim and your favorite pair of wedges.
I caught this Fashionista on her way to the farmer’s market in a surefire off-the-shoulder dress. She added a simple layered necklace from Urban Outfitters, but didn’t take any attention away from her shoulders. You don’t need too many extravagant accessories with an off-the-shoulder dress because the center of focus is your shoulders. To complete her look, she added a pair of lace-up sandals, which really gave the whole outfit a boho vibe.
If the weather is too chilly for open-toe shoes, try pairing your off-the-shoulder ensemble with a pair of lace-up flats. With lace-up flats, you still get the boho feel of lace-up sandals, but you don’t have to sacrifice having warm feet.
