Trend to try: Shoulder exposure

There’s something so alluring about off-the-shoulder dresses: They’re sexy yet discreet – and they create a diagonal line that visually whittles your waist. The trick is to go with a shape that isn’t too clingy. And if the strap is topped with a ruffle or flower, make sure that it doesn’t overpower you. The bare slice of skin is usually statement enough.

What I'm wearing:

I have always considered the shoulder one of the sexiest, and most underrated, regions of a woman’s body which is why I’m all about the shoulder exposure trend that’s currently sweeping in.

An exposed shoulder creates that accidental sexy-effect which is super hot but not in an intimidating kind of way. I love the bohemian sensibility of this look, it just has that effortlessness to it that always looks amazing. 

I am also an avid fan of sweetly slouchystyles and this definitely fits the bill.

You can rock an off the shoulder slouchy dress like Lindsay Lohan wearing Rachel Pally or with a mini-skirt for a night out like Jessica Szohr. 

Pair a muted top with skinny pants like Lauren Conrad wearing a Vince long sleeve top; rock a Flashdance style tee likeVanessa Hudgens wearing a printed top by Free People, $29.95; or rock an oversized fashion-forward style like Ashley Greene, wearing a button-sleeve top by Prodigal Daughter.

Either way, this look always translates to hot and is a great way to rock the 80′s trend that’s trickling in while still keeping it modern.
