Trend to Try: Off-the-Shoulder Shirts

nordstrom white off the shoulder top

Off-the-shoulder tops are all the rage right now! And this won’t be a short-lived trend, either. Off-the-shoulder and shoulder-bearing tops were pretty prevalent last summer, but they’re back again this spring season! I think it’s safe to say that off-the-shoulder just might be my favorite spring trend. I mentioned this a few weeks ago, but I shied away from off-the-shoulder shirts last year because of my broad shoulders. I didn’t bother trying them on because I just figured they wouldn’t be flattering on me. Quite the contrary, though! A great-fitting off-the-shoulder top can be super slimming for your shoulders, and also looks super cute with a pair of slim-fitting skinny jeans on the bottom. The perfect outfit for a girls night out or date night!

I love the look of a white off-the-shoulder top in the spring and summer months, but so many white summer-weight tops can look wrinkly once you’ve been sitting for a while.. You know?! The look of wrinkled clothes after you’ve done a proper steaming before leaving the house is one of my biggest pet peeves. So as you can imagine, I quickly snatched up this textured polka dot top when I found it! The white-on-white polka dots and the ruffled sleeves were calling my name. Plus, it doesn’t show wrinkles easily since there is a pattern and texture. Win, win!

Here are a few more off-the-shoulder tops I’m loving at Nordstrom…

And a few off-the-shoulder dresses that are super fun, too…

Oh, and these shoes? Back at it… I told you I bought them in three colors! I’m obsessed. They’re *so* comfortable with the block heel and not too high… I’ve worn them for quite a few nights out already and they’re easy to wear all night long. I love how you can tie them in the front or the back, too. I tied them in the front to add some personality with an all-white dress, and then tied them in the back with my skinny jeans here. Cute both ways! … And yes, I need a pedicure. No judging, okay? 😉

    Adorable, Jess! I am dying to try the off-the-shoulder look, but I guess I need to wait until July or else Oompaloompa. 😉 Gorgeous, Girl!

    This trend of going ‘off’ seems like a refreshing way to disconnect from the constant digital buzz and reconnect with the simple pleasures of the offline world!
