The shoulder is the only part of a woman’s body that doesn’t age, so there is no wonder that this trend was spotted on almost everybody this year. Whether it was off the shoulder tops, one shoulder dresses or showing both shoulders, all of it exudes femininity and sexiness. However, this trend is nothing new, as a Chanel dress from 1930, introduced the structured exposed shoulder trend (which less than 100 years later, has burst back on the scene in popularity).
