About a month ago, just when temperatures started to creep up, I started noticing something peculiar.
Shoulders. Shoulders were suddenly everywhere.
Tanned shoulders! Freckly shoulders! Pointy shoulders! as far as the eye could see.
Yes, reader friends, the off-the-shoulder top trend has been in full swing for some weeks now and it’s about to explode all over our beloved summer.
Being a shoulder phobic, I was faced with two options: A) Scream and cry and curse the fashun gods while elbows-deep in a red bag of Doritos, or B) suck it up, do my research and embrace this intimidating trend with a smile.
I’m guessing you can deduct from the headline that I picked B.
I promptly gathered my sparkliest, trendiest, fashun-iest girlfriends, and picked their sparkly, trendy, fashun brains for all the tips and tricks to wearing off-the-shoulder tops.
Here’s what I learned.
1. Buy ze right bra
Easier said than done – I KNOW – but it’s a good idea to get your mitts on a comfy, well-fitting strapless bra. This will save you from that questionable ‘exposed bra straps’ look that your mum used to scold you about when you were 15.
Make mum happy, guys. Get the right bra.

Is it okay to wear like a bralette under?
don't bother, they are ugly and you will look like a fashion victim.
I quite like them on some, but as with most trends, they're just not flattering on everyone..!
to me, they are flattering to literally noone.
What a sad sack of crap you are. Maybe it doesn't look good on you, that doesn't mean every single woman on this planet is ugly too. It just means it doesn't look good on you. Just you.
we shouldn't need tips to make something look good - how about we just don't wear that something that doesn't look good? :)
