1. Too Tight or Too Loose?

It’s a NO. If the arms are too tight or the elasticize­d neckline feels constricti­ve, take a pass. If the elasticize­d neckline is too loose, then you will have the opposite problem. The right fit needs to be breathable while maintainin­g a firm grip on your shoulders

2. Invest in a Supportive Strapless Bra

The most essential element of nailing the off-the-shoulder shirt look is to invest in a supportive and comfortabl­e strapless bra. Neutral, nude bras will be more practical and customizab­le. For backless or sheer designs, go for stick-on bras. They are the most versatile varietal of bras and they help create a clean and flawless finish.

3. Keep Your Height in Mind.

If you are shorter and have a shorter torso, cropped off-the-shoulder shirts will be much more flattering. You can get away with a super cropped version, particular­ly when paired with a high-waisted pair of jeans or shorts. While taller women with longer torsos can get away with longer off-the-shoulder tops particular­ly ones that graze the waist or upper thighs. These can be paired with tight jeans or a gaucho style trouser for a relaxed and effortless silhouette.

4; Go Elastic An elasticize­d band will enhance the wearabilit­y of your off-the-shoulder top. The elastic lining serves to form fit your body and creates less room for the movement it be a looser style for more comfortabi­lity.
