13 Off The Shoulder Dresses For Spring — Because This Trend Is Both Classic And Funky
There is a stylish staple amongst Coachella goers that has also been making a wave with Hollywood’s fashion elite (with Emma Watson and Sienna Miller recently sporting the style on the red carpet): the off the shoulder dress. While it may not be an everyday item that you want to invest in, an inexpensive off-the-shoulder style is perfect for those times when you just want to dress it up a bit.
When I think off-the-shoulder silhouette, my mind instantly races to its uncomfortable counterpart, the strapless bra. While the thought of wearing a strapless in hot, humid weather sounds less than appealing, I love the allure of the strapless look. And besides, not everything in my closet has to be practical!
So I set off on the search for the perfect OTS dress for spring. And I was pleasantly surprised with the variety of dresses out there... I even found ones with support!
Since I no longer had an excuse to avoid the trend, I purchased a demure black midi that is both flirty and classic. Needless to say, it has become one of my trademark pieces. I wear it with slide sandals to picnics, with wedges for a dinner date, and with a strappy heel for a night on the town.
Whether you need a fashion savvy item for a summer soiree or just want to add a little spark to your wardrobe, an off-the-shoulder style is just the trick. So check out some of the best and most affordable OTS styles on the market now.
