‘Off the shoulder tops have been a huge trend for several seasons now and that has continued for SS17. I fell in love with this Victoria Victoria Beckham off the shoulder shirt when I first spotted it months ago and seeing it featured in every magazine only made me more obsessed.’
‘I massively respect Victoria Beckham as a designer and businesswomen, attending her shows during NYFW is incredibly inspiring every time. Her Victoria Victoria Beckham line has always really appealed to me because of its slightly more girlish, playful edge.’
‘This top made me think of the Côte d'Azur so I tried to build on that timeless aesthetic with elements of city tailoring and fun, playfulness... The latter of which obviously means cartoon sunglasses and floral print mega wedges.’

‘The modern and minimal design of the top is a real attention catcher and it’s one of Tibi's signature pieces. It’s made out of a lightweight high-quality cotton and perfect for the upcoming warm summer days.’
‘I really love the branding of Tibi. The collections are always minimal and subtle with a focus on a little detail here and there, which makes every piece special. Tibi’s current collection, featuring a mix of vibrant colors and statement sleeves, is a true eye-catcher.’

‘Off-the-shoulder tops and dresses is a trend that I am always so happy to return to time and time again. The pieces capture a feminine vibe while being modern and truly functional, I love them so much that at this point I probably could find at least 10 off-the-shoulder tops in my wardrobe right now. The latest and possibly favourite addition to my wardrobe is this stunning top from Victoria by Victoria Beckham. Burgundy and white stripes are perfect for spring, and the good quality cotton is easy to maintain and style. I could wear this top for any occasion, but you can see how I styled it for a casual Sunday brunch with the girls. Simple jeans, classic Gucci moccasins and a matching bag were all I decided to put on. I guess sometimes less is really more!’
‘When it comes to Victoria Beckham and both of her lines, I have to admit that I’m such a huge fan. Not only does she have great aesthetics, but her attention to detail and obsession with quality always get me excited. Currently I am considering this top in another colour too.’

‘I love the off-the-shoulder style – it’s an amazingly versatile way to turn a shirt and jeans into an incredibly unique look. The asymmetrical nature of this piece, mixed with oversized dramatic shoulders makes it an incredibly cool piece to wear with high-waisted jeans or wide leg pants. I love the bold buttons and masculine cut of the top – this top has definitely become my go to piece.’
‘Jaquemus is one of my favourites at the moment. The designer takes classic French concepts like the Breton stripe and deconstructs them in an incredibly playful way. The pieces are constructed beautifully and they have a contemporary price point without being boring or mainstream. I am obsessed with this brand.’
‘Because the top is deconstructed and oversized, I paired it with some high-waisted stone-wash tight jeans to give it the same feel as a white shirt and jeans look, although with an edge. The white loafers added to this.’

‘This Forte Couture top truly evokes summer with the white linens and pom-poms. It was so flattering on! Lightweight, simple and comfortable, I loved how versatile the top was and this was one of many ways I can wear it. Definitely a timeless piece.’
‘I've never heard of the brand before but this is definitely the first of many from the brand. The quality was beautiful and it fitted perfectly without being too tight or too loose. I love how the brand is all about creating fun accents to simple pieces like white linen tops, denim jackets and denim cut offs.’
‘I decided to dress it up with jeans and neon colored kitten heels from a few seasons ago. I would also pair it with denim cut-offs and sandals or dress it up with tailored shorts and point toed heels.’
