Every Off-the-Shoulder Top Style You Need to Know

Off-the-shoulder tops for summer are a fashion phenomenon unlike any we've seen before. The second this trend was called out, it seemed as though every single retailer's racks were filled with shoulder-exposing styles that they couldn't keep in stock.

Since its debut, the style has evolved to take the form of a variety of new silhouettes that you absolutely must know about. It's no longer just about the straight-across style—there are one-shoulder, cutout, asymmetrical, and strappy counterparts that are just as stylish.
