If you thought you can’t channel cold shoulder with a formal look, take a cue from Priyanka Chopra. The Baywatch villain did androgyny in a chequered grey pantsuit with a plunging neckline. Add a sleek side-parted low chignon and diamond ear studs, and PeeCee is boss babe.
Have toned arms and slender shoulders like Deepika Padukone? Go ahead and pluck out a deep cold-shoulder sleeve that will show off your collar bones to maximum effect.
Play up your cute factor just like Disha patani who opted for a long-sleeve cold-shoulder top with knots near the wrist. The soft beach curls and smoky eyes completed her look.
Cold shoulder has made crop tops cooler, and it’s also a fave in the wedding lookbook! Wear the crop top with a lehnga like Sonakshi Sinha, or team it with a sari or dhoti pants. Sequinned or embroidered, experiment with fabrics that will lend a desi touch.
If you are not a fan of showing too much flesh, a small cold-shoulder cut will do. Watch how Kriti Sanon does it in a flared-sleeve dress with a modest cold shoulder.
Age is just a number if you are thinking of working this trend. Malaika Arora, 43, showed how to be hot in an oversized cold-shoulder camo top that she teamed with a plain black mini skirt and ankle boots.
PARTY CODE: GIVE THE COLD SHOULDER
“What I love about the cold shoulder trend is that it’s flattering and ultra feminine. And it is perfect when you just wanna show a little skin,” said Tanumita Ghosh, a fashion blogger wearing a Forever 21 cold-shoulder dress in Nocturne.
Poonam Prasad cut a chic picture in a red cold-shoulder top and black skirt. “There are about 35 cold-shoulder outfits in my wardrobe. Sometimes for official meetings I go for cold-shoulder shirts instead of formal shirts. This is the only current trend that is casual yet passes off as a party look!” said the aviation professional partying at Club Boudoir.
“I love wearing black and the cold shoulder trend has made little dresses and tops in black cooler. I prefer just a hint of cut” — Priyanka Dutta, clubbing in Club Boudoir.
I think the cold shoulder trend is still in vogue because it’s chic without us having to try too hard! My friends and I wear cold-shoulder tops as well as dresses. They keep us high on the fashion meter while being summery and cool! — Sulogna Ghosh, third year, St. Xavier’s College
Comfortable, easy to carry and easy to flaunt, unlike crop tops, which is why I love cold-shoulder tops. From floral prints to pastel colors, a cold-shoulder top is ideal for all occasions and all seasons — Anandita Thakker, second year, The Bhawanipur Education Society College
The coolest thing about wearing a cold-shoulder top is that it allows my shoulders to breathe. When I am bored wearing sleeveless tops, cold shoulder comes to the rescue. I can pair it with anything, from ripped jeans to mini skirts — Debolina Banerjee, first year, Shri Shikshayatan College
The cold shoulder is perfect for the day-to-night transition that you need when you don’t have the time to glam up. Classy, dressy and summery, the cold shoulder is perfect for any body shape and I’m glad it’s here to stay — Sehrish Hazarika, second year, Jadavpur University
