How To Wear A One-Shouldered Top In Cooler Weather

If you love the disco-era sequin apparel you’ve been seeing around, then you’ll probably like the equally Studio 54-worthy one shouldered top trend. Personally, I’m all about these sexy one sleeved blouses – since they show just enough skin and not too much. Here’s how to sport this style in an ultra-classy way, straight through winter.

how to wear a one shouldered top

So, you’ve picked out a gorgeous one shouldered style (we are in love with Robert Rodriguez’ ruffled version), next you need a truly, seamless, strapless bra to wear underneath – bra lines will so ruin the effect. Color is big, and bandage skirts are even bigger, so pick out a design that creates an eye-catching contrast with your top. Finally, shimmy into some creative hosiery – my personal favorite is the swiss dot pattern – and some sensible, standard booties (after all, you’ve got a lot going on upwards of the ankle).

Whose Head Is Bigger Than Her Waist? Ideally, Nobody’s.

ralph lauren over photoshops filippa hamiltonfilippa hamilton

Ralph Lauren recently apologized to the model Filippa Hamilton for the photoshop disaster shown above.  The slender model’s image was distorted to the point that her head was wider than her waist, and her legs…well, we don’t even know what to compare those to.  Pencils, chopsticks, and string beans all come to mind.

The apology and subsequent removal of the photograph follows the announcement from German magazine Brigitte that it will be banning models from its pages beginning in 2010.  We hope these two events signal the end of a skinnier-than-thou era.

ralph lauren ruffled plaid shirt

In the meantime, we’re glad Ralph Lauren stepped up and corrected its error.  After all, we’re all for the brand’s contemporary take on classic looks, like this ruffled plaid top (shown here on a model who does not look like she is about to die).

For more of this style, take a look at the best plaid shirts out there.  Then pair one off with boyfriend jeans or a pencil skirt.

The Top Five Plaid Shirts That Won’t Make You Look Like A Lumberjack

The popularity of plaid tops was one of last fall’s most pleasant surprises, so we’re happy to see that this (rural) boyfriend-inspired trend has returned along with colder weather. The problem with plaid is that if it’s not executed properly, you can look a bit like you’re prepping to cut down down some trees (or like you missed the memo that grunge-chic was over about fifteen years ago).  So, since we’re nothing if not a bunch of tree-lovers over here at SheFinds (and know you are too!) here are our favorite plaid looks that won’t make you look like a lumberjack heading off to cut down the forest.

MARC JACOBSRED PLAID

Proof that plaid can be very girly, we’d wear this vintage-inspired Marc Jacobs tee ($148) tucked into a classic pleated skirt for a polite school-girl look.

re collection green elastic waist flannel shirt

With its cropped cut and short sleeves, this plaid shirt from Re Collection ($88), which is made from recycled fabric, is cute in addition to being eco-friendly.

vince plaid shirt

Feminize this oversized Vince boyfriend shirt ($195) with a thick belt, a pair of creative leggings, and some suede booties with sky-high heels.

ruffle bib plaid shirt

We love the light color scheme and retro ruffles on this ultra-charming Banana Republic ruffle bib plaid shirt ($70).

lamb shirt

With its sexy plunging neckline and wide collar, the menswear-inspired pattern is the only thing masculine about this flirty top from L.A.M.B ($165).
