Summer Fashion That Works For Fall: Off The Shoulder Top

Arianne Suggs August 11, 2015August 11, 2015Leave a Comment

Buying essentials that can last more than one season will not only make your wallet fatter, but will make styling much simpler. One piece that will still be good to go come fall is the off the shoulder blouse. Right now this top is most likely being paired with short-shorts or a mini due to the heat. Nevertheless, once the temperature starts to fall some only a few tweaks will be necessary to transform the look for autumn.

Denim will never fail you when it comes to rocking this top. Jeans are the perfect vehicle to make your off shoulder tops fall ready. Keep things causal yet sexy thanks to the hints of skin.

If you want to make your look a little more dressy try pairing your off shoulder top with a pencil skirt. Curves will be instantly noticeable driving the sassy appeal meter upwards. Add a side split for even more head turning appeal.

As it it gets colder most feel its impossible to display curves like they once did in the summer heat. Combat this by wearing your top with high-waisted pants which will give a sexier illusion without being too exposed.

Whoever said you couldn’t wear white after Labor Day didn’t know how to have some fashion fun! Yes, even after the holiday ends white pants and an off shoulder top is oh tres’ chic!

Growing up in California you quickly learn that there is no such thing as fall LOL it’s still hot! So for those of us you leave in warmer climates continue to wear those shorts by try wearing a pair with embellishment. Also, if you want to infuse some Cali flair into your ensemble, tie a side knot in your off the shoulder top and you will fit right in.

Wow, it seems like several noted black musicians are bringing some serious heat to the fashion industry! Ciara gets a nod from Topshop, Rihanna begins to front Stance and now Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson had an announcement of her very own. JHud is now the face of New York & Company’s SOHO Jeans.

Hudson looked beyond cute for the launch party celebrating her momentous new job position . We loved the retro hair touch that she added to her denim on denim ensemble which is a very hot trend right now. Jennifer incorporated a headscarf aka bandana to complete her chic head-to-toe look. Bandana’s are a great hair accessory to hold hair in place or simply change up a classic. We love the short cut that Hudson is rocking yet the addition of the scarf helped her hairstyle take on a new life. This one little and simple accessory cause her to morph from edgy to sassy girly-girl.

The collection that Jennifer Hudson will be the face of is a quite affordable with all pieces being under $70. If you wish that you had lived during the disco era or are hoping that there really is a Doc out there creating a DeLorean time machine so that you can return to that decade then you’re going to love these jeans. The entire collection was inspired and designed with the 70’s solely in mind. Groovy baby!

Actress Gabrielle Union is one of the many celebrity sightings this week in NYC. Gabrielle was spotted leaving Milk Studios after taking part in a photo shoot. Union blessed The Big Apple with her fashion presence by rocking a trend that at times can be quite challenging to pull off. That trend is the denim on denim.

Women have worn long denim gowns or the denim suit with some successes or needing to be put on the worst dress list. However, Gabrielle is a sterling example on how to wear this trend correctly. Union matched the correct denim tint when it came to her skirt and top so that the rinses were not so far apart in shade. Also, by revealing a few touches of skin it helped to break up the monotony of the look. Her neutral accessories kept the outfit relaxed keeping the attention on the coolness of the jeans.

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 5, 2015February 11, 2015Leave a Comment

As we sip our coffees all of us here at 1966 had to agree that is never too early for a little eye candy! One of Oklahoma City Thunder’s finest players stars in True Religion’s Spring/Summer 2015 ad campaign. We’ll gladly gaze upon Westbrook in tight pants while flexing for the camera any day.

True Religion’s chief executive officer David Conn spoke on the brand’s move to cast someone from the sports realm for their ad campaign. He explained that the “influence of sports on fashion has increased dramatically. Working with a pro athlete was a natural for us. A lot of players shop in our stores, and Russell is as well known for what he does on the court as what he wears at the press conference after the game.”

What do you think of Russell Westbrook’s new ad for True Religion and should sports as well as fashion continue to be married together? Talk all things fashion with us on our Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr or tweet us @1966magazine.
