The BEST 17+ Off Shoulder Top Outfit Ideas You NEED to Try

I feel like I literally have not talked to you in a solid week and I am actually going crazy. I am currently just sitting here on my living room floor surrounded by a massive pile of laundry that I am actively refusing to fold. It is Saturday morning, I have my giant iced vanilla latte, and I am just completely avoiding all my adult responsibilities right now. The weather outside is actually super nice today, it is perfectly sunny but not too hot, but I am just having a lazy rot day inside.

So listen, we really need to talk about my new obsession. I have been scrolling on Pinterest for like three hours straight, and I am officially entering my off shoulder top outfit era. I know, I know. It sounds so specific! But hear me out, because I feel like this is exactly the vibe we need for the next few months.

It is actually so funny because do you remember last summer when we went back to the reservation for that huge family powwow? I was wearing this bright red off-shoulder top that I bought from some random boutique online. The elastic band on the top was insanely tight. I was standing by the food stands, and right when I reached my arms up high to grab a piece of frybread from my auntie, the entire shirt literally snapped up violently and trapped me around my neck like a weird red choker. My older brother was standing right there and he was crying laughing at me. I was choking on my own shirt in front of half our family! It was so humiliating haha.

I feel like our style is really evolving lately. We are not doing the super tight, uncomfortable club clothes anymore. I want to look elegant and a little bit romantic, but still super effortless. So I put together this massive list of my absolute favorite looks I found this morning.

17+ Off Shoulder Top Outfit Ideas You NEED to Try

Crisp White Pants And Bare Shoulders

Okay please look at this first one. I think it is so crazy how chic a simple black top looks when you pair it with crisp white pants. It instantly gives off major “rich mom on vacation” energy and I am so obsessed with it. Imagine you wearing this to our next brunch date! You would look absolutely stunning. I know you are always terrified of spilling coffee on white pants, but I seriously think we just need to risk it because the aesthetic is too good to pass up.

Handmade Knits In Matcha Green

I am literally in love with anything matcha colored right now. This handmade knit texture just looks so incredibly soft and cozy, it is perfect for when the weather is kind of in between seasons.

The Freya Beige Essential

You literally cannot ever go wrong with a good beige basic. It is the ultimate blank canvas for an outfit. I feel like this specific cut is so flattering because it drapes instead of clinging to your stomach. We both know how much I hate tight clothes after eating a massive dinner haha.

Denim Top With A Belted Look

This is giving me such major Y2K nostalgia but in a really modernized, wearable way. The denim-on-denim trend is back and I am totally here for it.

Strapless Cream For Going Out

This is exactly the kind of top I need for my date next week! It is so romantic and pretty. Though I have to admit, I always get so paranoid wearing strapless stuff. Do you remember that guy I went out with last year, the one with the weird laugh? I wore a top like this and I was sweating so much out of nervousness that the shirt literally started sliding down my torso. I had to keep going to the bathroom just to hike my shirt back up so I wouldn’t flash him over the dinner table. So embarrassing! But this cream one looks like it actually has some good grip to it.

Baggy Relaxed Modern Vibe

Balancing a tight little top with some massive, baggy pants is basically my uniform right now. It is just the most comfortable way to still look fashionable.

White Pants Outfit Take Two

I am telling you, the white pants combo is just undefeated. It looks so fresh and clean. If you style it right with some chunky gold jewelry and a slicked back bun, you honestly look like you stepped right out of a magazine. I need to go to the mall this weekend and find pants that fit me exactly like this.

Effortless Shopping-Day Chic

Just slide into this and throw on your favorite comfy sneakers. Absolute perfection for running around the city all day when you still want to look somewhat put together for society.

Emma Leger Fall Fashion Aesthetic

Emma always has the absolute best style, I swear I save every single picture she posts. I love how she transitions the bare shoulder look into the colder months by using heavier knit fabrics. It proves you don’t have to put away your cute tops just because the temperature drops a little bit. You just have to be smart about layering.

Cold Shoulder Blouses Return

The cold shoulder cutout is making a sneaky little comeback! It is such a fun, playful detail that elevates a totally normal long sleeve shirt.

Off Shoulder Top White Pants Outfit Three

Okay, another one because I am clearly hyper-fixating. But looking at this reminds me of when we were in high school. Do you remember when we watched that DIY YouTube tutorial and tried to cut the collars out of all my mom’s old band tees to make them off-shoulder? We completely ruined like four vintage shirts. The necklines were all jagged and uneven, and they just ended up falling completely off our bodies. My mom was so mad at me for weeks! Thank god we can just buy them properly made now instead of taking fabric scissors to everything in my closet.

Best Street Style From New York

This is giving me major New York fashion week off-duty model energy. Just throw on a relaxed fit, grab a tiny little shoulder bag and you are totally golden.

Elodie Label Ara Styling

I love finding unique little brands like this that make cool structural tops. Having a shirt with a really interesting fold or drape just acts as such a good conversation starter when you are out at a bar. It makes it look like you really know exactly what you are doing with your style.

Miami Outfit Inspiration

I am absolutely saving this one for whenever we finally book that beach trip we keep talking about. It is so vibrant and fun, perfect for getting drinks by the water.

Rita Ora Fall Version Style

Celebrity street style is my ultimate weakness. I love seeing how they take these trends and make them look so edgy. Adding some leather pants or heavy boots to a delicate top creates such a cool contrast. I honestly think you would look so incredibly badass in an outfit exactly like this. We need to raid your closet later and see if we can recreate this with stuff you already own.

Delicate Lace Top Outfit

Lace just makes everything look instantly more romantic. Paired with some loose vintage denim, it is just peak cozy cute aesthetic and I am so here for it.

Phew, okay, I think that is enough fashion rambling from me for one day! I swear my brain just completely empties out when I start looking at clothes online. I seriously need to stop staring at my computer screen and actually fold this laundry on my floor before my living room becomes totally unlivable. I am my own worst enemy when it comes to keeping my apartment clean on the weekends.

Please take your time looking through all these pictures when you get a chance, and definitely text me back with your honest thoughts! I trust your fashion sense so much more than my own sometimes. Tell me which of these looks is your absolute favorite, or if you think I should order some of these for that party we are going to next month. Also, let me know what time you want to come over later today! I am thinking we should just order some massive pizzas, drink a little bit of wine, and watch a movie tonight because I am way too exhausted to go anywhere loud or crowded. Love you so much, text me when you see this!
