The Hot Cold Shoulders

Off-The-Shoulder tops are having a moment. The origin being unclear, bare collarbones have long been another sizzling feature. And given the practical paradox of a cozy cold-shoulder knit, the style is just as tempting when it is constructed in the tender cashmere.

But scratch all that today.

You’re about to enter the funkiest way to wear this elegant style: don’t doubt it – flip the top over and wiggle through upside down.

Now casually hang over the relaxed waist tube over the shoulders as you will with a shawl and you snatched natural draping and an open back. The fitted roll-down is now the new bodice – tuck it in like I did or pull it all the way down and you get a mini dress. I have done both with success.

Extra long sleeves is too a cinch to achieve this way – dropped shoulders give you as much floppy tubes as you want.

What do you say? Not a bad idea for one of those days when looking proper with every piece of hair in place feels too much, eh?
