As the temperatures rise, many fashionistas are reaching for their off-the-shoulder dresses to stay cool and stylish this summer. This versatile and trendy piece is perfect for a chic summer look, whether you’re heading to a rooftop party or a beachside dinner. We have just released our stunning linen bespoke embroidered “Olympia” dress to have you feeling “goddess – like”, so it is the perfect time to explain how with the right accessories and styling techniques, you can easily take your off-the-shoulder dress from day to night with ease. 


One of the key things to keep in mind when styling an off-the-shoulder dress is to choose the right accessories. Since the focus is on your shoulders and neckline, opt for delicate and minimalistic jewelry such as dainty layered necklaces or just fabulous earrings and a bracelet. Avoid overwhelming the look with heavy necklaces which might take away from the dress itself. For a touch of glam, add a pair of strappy sandals or espadrilles to complete the outfit.


When it comes to choosing the right shoes to wear with your off-the-shoulder dress, think about the occasion and the overall look you’re going for. For a casual daytime look, flat sandals or sneakers are a great choice, while heels or wedges can elevate the outfit for a more formal event. Remember to consider the length of the dress when selecting your shoes – ankle strap sandals may cut off your legs and make you appear shorter, so opt for nude pumps or pointed flats for a more elongated silhouette.


For a laid-back summer vibe, pair your off-the-shoulder dress with a straw or raffia bag like our Bodicia or Kristen series or a crossbody purse in a neutral shade. This will add a touch of boho chic to your look and keep you feeling comfortable and stylish all day long. If you’re heading out for a night on the town, a sleek clutch or a statement handbag like our Amara can add a pop of color and personality to your outfit.


When it comes to hair and makeup, keep things simple and effortless to complement the relaxed vibe of the off-the-shoulder dress. Opt for loose waves or a messy bun for a carefree look, and choose dewy makeup with a nude lip to enhance your natural beauty. Add a swipe of highlighter to your cheekbones for a fresh and glowing complexion that will turn heads wherever you go.

In conclusion, styling an off-the-shoulder dress for a chic summer look is all about keeping things effortless and elegant. By choosing the right accessories, shoes, and beauty details, you can easily create a stunning outfit that is perfect for any occasion. Take a moment to look at our just arrived Off the Shoulder Olympia Dress in off white linen and brushed Gold. Show off those shoulders this summer in style!
