Thanks to the strapless trend, we’ve exposed our shoulders all summer. It was a very nice time to show off sun-kissed skin and look stylish.
The off shoulder dress is a staple that I honestly thought would only last a year. But I was obviously wrong. All the fashion girls loved the strapless dress and it was a pleasure to see all the cuts, colors and patterns they were wearing.
This post will teach you how to combine, wear and style a different type of off shoulder dress.
I’ve broken them down into four sections so we’re going to talk about classic and A-line dresses, then gingham and striped, and last but not least. At the end we will also see how you can wear maxi, midi and floral pattern dresses.
