FASHION FROM ABROAD: Give ‘Em the Bold Shoulder

When you’re exploring a new place, it’s normal to want to wear an outfit that makes you feel as pretty as the scenery around you. I mean if you’re surrounded by beautiful vineyards and ancient architecture, it’s tough to feel adequate sporting a ratty T-shirt from your middle school field day. The tricky part about travel is finding a balance between being dressed to nines but unable to walk or breathe in your outfit, versus being comfortable as heck but looking like you just rolled out of bed ten minutes ago. Eek.

This Fashionista did it just right. For a wine tasting trip in Tuscany, she styled an outfit that was both classy and colorful, while still being relatively casual.

Newsflash ladies: giving people the cold shoulder is out. The bold shoulder is in.

Instead of the typical cotton tee or tank top, this traveler chose an off-the-shoulder top as the statement piece of her look. The bright, golden color catches your eye, and the feminine silhouette makes for a romantic aesthetic. White distressed skinny jeans balance the flowy proportions of the top while also enhancing the golden color.

Flat strappy sandals are a good option for the girl who wants to stroll city streets in style. This Fashionista chose a neutral lace up pair with pops of citrus. She also accessorized with a simple pendent necklace to complement the off-the-shoulder neckline, classic aviators, and a tan crossbody bag for her travel essentials.

If you’re planning to explore a new place, take a cue from this traveler. An off-the-shoulder top is the perfect statement piece for a stylish, yet comfy outfit. Now all you need is a plane ticket and a dash of curiosity.
