Off Shoulder Trend

The off-shoulder (also known as cold-shoulder) trend has been making waves for a couple of seasons now and much to our delight it doesnt seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. One of the main reasons for this stickiness, which such few trends can achieve, is the fact that this silhouette is universal; it looks absolutely amazing on every woman, regardless of her body shape and size.

And like most popular fashion trends, the off-shoulder style has made its way into the world of swimwear as well. You can find it on everything from bikinis to kaftans, dresses and rompers and in every style you can imagine, from sexy to sophisticated and everything in between the possibilities are endless!

To rock this trend, the most important thing to keep in mind is fit. It is imperative that you get the right size and fit around your shoulders and bust, especially in swimwear, to ensure that your top is not slipping off your shoulders when you wear it.Not only is this embarrassing; it may also leave you feeling uncomfortable, especially when you're at the beach or in the pool. 

One of our favourite off-shoulder swimsuits is the Amelie Lola bikini by Vitamin A Swimwear a beautiful polkadot bikini with flirty ruffles across the neckline and backline. The beauty of this piece lies in its simplicity and can be dressed up or down to suit the occasion. Take this bikini crop top to the streets by rocking it with a pair of high waisted denim shorts.

Another favorite is the Farrah Bikini from Beach Bunny Swimwear. The dainty lace on this little black bikini is perfect for the pool party. Pair it with a flowing printed kaftan and tie-up gladiator sandals to complete the look.

If you're looking to make a statement, opt for a swimsuit that combines the off-shoulder style with a bold, on-trend print like big florals or bold stripes or both. This ruffled one-piece swimsuit from Malai Swimwear has multiple ways to wear it: As a one-shoulder giving it an asymmetric look, or pulling it up.

To make the most of the off-shoulder style, dust on a smidgen of bronzer or body shimmer powder onto your collar bones and shoulder blades for some extra oomph. Voila!
