Give Em The Cold Shoulder: The Off The Shoulder Dress Trend

With the onset of summer, the off the shoulder dress trend is all the rage.  So we thought we'd take a look at some that have  caught our eye.

 Yvonne Orji wore a body conscious turquise dress to the NAACP Image Awards Luncheon that showed off her muscular shoulders.  Designed by Chiara Boni (La Petite Robemi), we love the sleek look and uniquely puffed volume on the sleeves.

On Oscars night, actress Taraji P. Henson wore a sleek, custom, velvet off the shoulder gown by Alberta Ferretti.  The low cut neckline that transitions around the shoulder made for a classic, yet romantic look.  Oh how we would have loved to get our hands on that velvet fabric to feel it's plushness.

The off shoulder trend is nothing new so it's here to stay.  Showing off chiseled shoulders can be quite flirty, so be ready to give em the cold shoulder when you strut by in this trend.  We love seeing the variations of this classic trend.  So much so that we've designed our own .  Though it's a long time in the making, we hope you'll stay tuned to see the finished version.  Be sure to sign up to our newsletter in the sidebar to stay informed on the progress!
