Bump Fashion: Off-The-Shoulder Outfits

By Samantha Jong
April 26, 2017

This is one of those trends that you can wear whether you’re expecting or not as it shows of assets that don’t change much even after you get pregnant – your shoulders. Plus, unlike tube top or dresses, the chances of the tops slipping down are lower, so you don’t have to be constantly hiking up your top!

An off-the-shoulder dress is particularly perfect if you’re heading to a beachside resort for a babymoon as it works for both a beachside dinner or a stroll in the city. To keep things interesting, choose one with embroidered details or colourful prints. Also, pick a flowy material such as cotton or chiffon that will keep you comfortable and cool.

If you are a solid colour gal, pick a off-the-shoulder dress that has a layered look, such as one with a ruffled hem on top and below. Don’t overcomplicate the outfit by keeping it simple with a cute pair of sandals or slippers.

The off-the-shoulder dress isn’t just for beach vacations, there are knit versions too that are good for keeping a bit warmer or simply lounging at home.

You can also wear it for occasions that require the dressing to be more formal. Pick an off-the-shoulder dress that’s made of a thicker material and a bit more fitting, and you’ll probably still be able to wear the dress even after you deliver.

Another alternative for if you are attending an important function is to take a page out of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s style book and pick an all black ensemble and pair with heels and an IT bag for a look that works both in the day and at night.

This versatile style isn’t just confined to dresses – off-the-shoulder tops are perfectly on trend and can be worn both form fitting or loosey-goosey. Just remember to pair with jeans or plain bottoms if wearing a patterned top – too much going on is never a good idea.

If you have a date night, pick a flowy top and figure-hugging bottoms. Pair with loose curls and a smokey eye and you’re all set for a romantic date!
