The Peekaboo Shoulder Trend Is Huge For Spring
With the weather looking real good this past week on the east coast (like, in the 70s), I can't help but get ahead of myself in planning out my entire spring wardrobe. The biggest investment I'm making? The peekaboo shoulder trend, which is just as sexy as the off the shoulder look, with an extra bit of warmth. This season, it's not about legs. It's about your beautiful shoulders.
After a winter of random snowstorms, ice cold days, and unbearable wind, it's finally time to show off some skin. Although I'm the biggest fan of wearing minis and showcasing my legs, my new favorite body part to adore and flash are my shoulders. Even if the look is super underrated, drawing attention to the shoulders is elegant and classy. I mean, how many times did Audrey Hepburn completely stun in a strapless gown?
Since the off the shoulder look has swept street style and the runways like crazy this past year, it's time to move onto the next step: The peekaboo trend. While cut-outs have been a thing for a while now, they usually come in the form of ab and side ones. Enter the shoulder cut-outs, which are sexy enough for date night, and classic enough for a semi-formal brunch.
Join me in the peekaboo movement with these 10 options. You'll never look back.
