Thanks to the off-the-shoulder trend we kept our shoulders exposed during entire summer. It was a very nice time to show off some sun-kissed skin and to look stylish.
The off-the-shoulder dress is a staple that I honestly thought will be only a one-year thing. But, I was obviously wrong. All the fashion girls loved the off-the-shoulder dress and it was a pleasure to watch all that cuts, colors and patterns that they wore.
In this post, we will see how you can combine, wear and style a different kind of off-the-shoulder dresses.
I divided them into four sections, so we will talk about Classic and A-line dresses, then Gingham and Striped and last but not least. By the end we will also see how you can wear Maxi, Midi and Floral patterned dresses.
