STYLE GURU STYLE: Cold Shoulder Tops

Cold shoulder tops are a chic and timeless trend that is ideal for both informal and formal events. Even the most casual styles are given a smart update with these cut-out sections, and the trend is on everything from metallic tops to black tops and printed tops. Whatever your style, there is sure to be a version for you.

My look is loosely inspired by Acne Studios‘ spring 2015 collection. I loved how floral prints were paired with fitted solid colored tops. Similarly, I paired my black cold shoulder top with a floral skirt to add some color and life to the outfit. For accessories I wore a headband and sunglasses. Lastly, I finished this ensemble with a black pair of chelsea boots.

Want to give your everyday outfits a modern update? Opt for a metallic top, or a low neckline and ruched detailing combine with the bright colors to form a top that’s perfect for wearing with jeans, and can be worn for almost any occasion. Matching eyeshadow to plus size tops in the same metallic fashion is another effortless way to merge the trends, and feature embellished shoulders and jewels to draw the eye.

Printed tops are another huge trend. A sleeveless shirt in a dark floral print is ideal for wearing out with friends, and the drawstring waist is flattering and comfortable. Long-sleeved tops feature beaded straps and a bright pattern, making sure they catch the eye. Team either with dark skinny jeans and heels to really show off the look.

For a top that’s ideal for events, choose a scoop neckline top. The loose material and long sleeves are instantly glamorous, and provides a great contrast to skinny jeans and knee-high boots. Keep hair loose, and rock with long earrings.
