Our shoulders have hibernating for several months now – covered by chunky turtlenecks and cable knit sweaters under heavy coats. It’s time to bare those shoulders and try a new and flirty neckline called the “cold shoulder,” aka off the shoulder style. Cue your inner-child because this “sexy” trend was also popularized by favorite Disney characters like Esmeralda and Belle. Exposed shoulders are playful and springtime friendly and showing a bit of shoulder is a fantastic alternative for those of us who don’t like to show our upper arms.
