From knee-high boots and our favourite pair of jeans to the way casually throwing on a trench can instantly elevate the most basic outfit, there’s so much to love about autumn and winter fashion.
That being said, when we reach the icy depths of the winter months, layering up with the same jumpers and knits can quickly become monotonous.
Enter the cold shoulder top.
Whether it’s a double shoulder-baring cut or an asymmetrical neckline, the cold shoulder style’s peekaboo detailing and flashes of skin bring a new, interesting, and sultry element to the classic knit while maintaining enough coverage and warmth for the cold weather.
Pairing perfectly with jeans, relaxed trousers, denim maxi skirts and minis, you’ll be reaching for these styles from mild autumn nights right through to the coldest of winter days.
