FASHION: THE NEW COOL ON HOW TO STYLE THE OFF-THE-SHOULDER TREND STRAIGHT FROM THE RUNWAY!

While we'll always have a special place in our hearts for the off-the-shoulder shirts, we've been going on seasons and seasons of seeing street style bloggers, chic fashion editors, and everyone in between wear them and honestly it would be nice to know more ways to style the-off-shoulder top trend apart form the norm we are so used to.
After going through countless shows at New York Fashion Week, we've spotted a new way to style OTS tops that will possibly renew our love for them.
Left to right: Vera Wang, Tome, Gabriela Hearst, Altuzarra, Delpozo

For spring 2017 it's all about layering an OTS top over tank tops and other blouses. The simple styling trick (as seen at Altuzarra, Vera Wang, Gabriela Hearst, and a few others shows) has taken us from "just liking the shirt" to "OK, time to get more OTS" faster than you can say cold shoulder. It adds sex appeal, breathes new life into the silhouette, and the best part: the look can be achieved with preexisting items in your closet.
Bra straps from Altuzarra
Take Altuzarra's Wild at Heart-inspired show, for example. Ruffled bra straps under knit dresses brought the right amount of sass to the designer's Lynchian look.

Vera Wang Spring 2017
At Vera Wang tops were layered over Hanes-like ribbed tanks, giving a boyish sensibility to the noir collection.

Tome spring/summer 2017
Tome switched things up by layering the tank over the OTS shirt and slung a strap to the side for a casual elegance.

Delpozo spring/summer 2017
As for Delpozo, the brand skipped the tank altogether and styled an oversized OTS top with a sheer button-down underneath.


So rummage through your donation box and put your off-the-shoulder tops back in the 'keep' pile. As it turns out, it's not time to let go of this trend quite yet. And as for me, I can never get tired of this trend. Always a keeper, irrespective of the seasons. So ladies,  are we loving the new spin on how to rock your OTS shirts or what?
