The crop top has been the go-to style for a few summers now. We’ve gotten into the habit of choosing midriff-baring tops and haven’t really thought about much else. But there are other body parts to show off besides a sliver of stomach. It’s time to make these other areas the focus and off-the-shoulder tops are a great place to start.
Showing a bit of shoulder is actually very sexy. It’s not as overt as showing off your chest or back. Of course, if you’re still partial to your beloved crop tops, you can choose a cropped off-the-shoulder top. It’s basically a win-win.
Off-the-shoulder tops are also versatile. Favor a go big or go home strategy with a top boasting big sleeves. Or you can take a sleeker approach. Go ahead and pair your top with lace-up sandals and a maxi skirt for day and skinny jeans and mules for a night out. An off-the-shoulder top is also the perfect canvas. It draws attention upward to your décolletage and face. You can pair the top with a statement necklace or shoulder-grazing earrings. Beauty girls can skip the jewelry and try a bold metallic lipstick.
