The summer season of 2024 pleases with open, airy and candid outfits. Fashion bloggers and fashionistas from all over the world opt for dresses with bare shoulders, focusing on an elegant neck, beautiful posture and a playful mood.

Dress with open shoulders and frill
Femininity, lightness, airiness, carelessness - these are the associations that come to mind when a beauty in a fashionable image with bare shoulders swims by.
Romantic natures, who are characterized by carelessness of being and addiction to fashionable novelties, can easily stay in trend this year. A dress with bare shoulders and frills is just a hit of the season! Regardless of what it was decided to complement the image with sandals, wedges, ballet shoes or croc-kings, admiring glances and compliments are provided.
Wavy elements in the dress are not only elegant, but also relevant for those who want to hide the minor flaws of the figure. Dresses with frills are chosen from thin, flowing fabrics, such as chintz or chiffon. Models must be selected according to the figure, or one size larger. The dress should give coquettishness, but do not sit in a bag, do not puff in the sides, and do not squeeze the shoulders with an elastic band, which is the basis for creating the shuttlecock.
Stylish long floor models
From the point of view of men, a seductive dress is a mini in all variants. But, you do not always want to attract, charm and look sexy, sometimes in plans - just go shopping. In this case, a dress with bare shoulders to the floor will become a convenient and stylish option. Free cut makes it as comfortable as possible. In such a dress, one should not be shy of his imaginary enemies - a wide waist, thick knees and unshaven legs.
In the summer months, a long dress with bare shoulders will be a salvation for pregnant women. Firstly, a free cut allows you to emphasize a round tummy and a full chest. Not all future mummies emphasize their interesting position in clothes, and to expose a growing belly, according to some people, is considered a sign of bad taste and a way to incur evil eye or damage. Therefore, the most superstitious girls, avoiding fitted styles while waiting, prefer open shoulders, length to heels, free cut and plenty of flounces.
The desire to hide the tummy does not carry any additional restrictions when choosing colors and accessories.Here, fantasy and personal addictions come to the fore: cotton or knitted, blue or blue, striped or polka dot, with cups for the chest or simply with supporting straps.
Peasant dress in the style of "A la Rus"
In the wake of various trainings and courses on gaining femininity and attractiveness, outfits in the style of noble noble ladies and simple peasant motifs “A la Rus” returned to fashion. While the former involve a complex cut of expensive dense fabrics with a closed neck and shoulders, the latter are lightweight airy outfits available to almost every woman both in price and in the choice of style. Over the past year, the "Russian style" has taken a leading place in social events. No one else needs to be convinced that Russian silhouettes are feminine and romantic. Therefore, this season, along with open dresses to the floor, the leading position in sales and independent sewing was taken by the “peasant dress” style.
This style has distinctive details that remain unchanged: an open neck, shoulders and chest, accentuated waist and a full skirt-sun. Dresses in this style are sewn mainly from simple fabrics, such as cotton or dense viscose. The color scheme is often monophonic, less often - ethnic Slavic motifs are used, for example, a bright floral print. The main emphasis in the style of “young lady-peasant woman” is placed on the waist, which is distinguished with the help of a belt, drawstring or belt. To dilute the image and add a touch of modernity to it, the belt can be selected from the collection of the current year.
Off Shoulder Evening Dress
For an evening out dress with bare shoulders fits perfectly. You just need to choose the appropriate style for a particular event. For example, it can be a classic black cocktail sheath dress just below the knees, or an elegant red floor dress made of silk flowing fabric that completely covers the chest, but exposes the shoulders and back. This season, models with a corset base and a fluffy mid-length skirt with falling shoulders are very popular. Following the fashionable protocol, an evening dress with bare shoulders is worn without a bra. It should fit well, not be too tight and defiantly short. In other words, the evening dress is designed to add elegance to the female image, so that even in a bar with friends, she would present herself as the queen of the catwalk.
Off Shoulder White Wedding Dress
Off-shoulder wedding dresses are an absolute classic of the genre. The most bought models of recent years are the silhouette of a “mermaid”, a case (to the knee), and, of course, a princess dress with a flounce skirt, which is in any wedding salon in different variations and all kinds of colors.
Historically, a wedding is a stage of transition, a change of one social role to another. A kind of farewell to girlish carelessness, teenage pigtails and open dresses. After the wedding, at all times, women preferred dresses to the floor with a closed neckline in moderate colors. Therefore, the wedding ceremony is an excellent occasion to sparkle with graceful fragile shoulders to this day.
Ideas for Fat Women
It is believed that dresses with bare shoulders look exquisitely only on fragile girls with an hourglass figure and protruding collarbones, because it makes the upper part of the silhouette visually wider. But this is not so. The signal “stop” can serve only massive shoulders, which draw all the attention to themselves.
On the owners of mouth-watering forms, the models of the V-shaped variant are most seductive. It is better to select the size of the cutout in moderation so that the neckline is not flashy and does not distract from the image as a whole.
A supporting bra is required, otherwise even the most chic outfit made of quality material will look ridiculous. A good solution would be a dress with a high waist, which will cover the stomach and other shortcomings of the figure.
Another image in which a full lady will look luxurious and bold is an elongated shirt with bare shoulders, which is complemented by only one belt.This is an easy summer option that perfectly models the figure and does not require anything other than seamless underwear and a good pedicure.
What to choose jewelry for dresses with open shoulders
The best decoration for a dress with bare shoulders will be a tan and velvet well-groomed skin. If we talk about accessories, then this season golden and silver flash tattoos are extremely popular, which can be easily ordered on the Internet, for example, aliexpress. Even at the school graduation, the girls made a choice in favor of youth jeans and tight-knit dresses with open shoulders, and decorated the upper part of the body with sparkling tattoos.
Lovers of classics can recommend bunch earrings hanging to the shoulders, medium-diameter ring earrings, or a variety of jewelry. Also, an elegant chiffon wrap on the shoulders can become a decoration in the evening. And in hot weather, you can focus on shoes. It can be simple slates, but embroidered with glass pebbles. Of the many options for hairstyles, you can stop on a small egg and a simple pigtail, and for young girls, loose wavy hair will be the best decoration.
