S shoulder SEASON

Showing a little shoulder is a safe — but still alluring — way to push fashion boundaries. Here are three easy ways to show off the season’s favorite erogenous zone.

SHOULDER CUT OUTS:

The ongoing American love affair with activewear means that athletic styles now look equally at home at the gym and on the street. A top with sporty shoulder cutouts looks strong with leggings (or yes, yoga pants), while skinny jeans or a fitted pencil skirt dress it up nicely. This style offers coverage and comfort and easily accommodates bra straps.

COLD SHOULDER TOP:

The hottest silhouette of the season is quietly seductive. Thin straps and bare arms and shoulders are flirty and unexpected, but a relaxed fit elsewhere keeps things soft and pretty. Opt for statement earrings and rings instead of a necklace and let the shirt’s unusual shape shine.

OFF THE SHOULDER:

An unembellished neckline that reveals the shoulders and collarbone offers the same figure-flattering benefits as a boat neck top, just with a little more edge. And a flowing shape or strategically placed ruffles are unapologetically romantic. Balance a fitted number with a bit of volume below the waist (an A-line skirt is classic) and make a more bohemian top the star by keeping things streamlined on the bottom.
