Shopping for flattering tops is honestly hard, especially if you want to find ones that are equally lightweight and comfortable . . . don’t we all? Pants are easy — just look for a high waist and elastic waistband and you’re good to go — but tops require more thought. We have our arms, busts and midsections to think about, not to mention trouble areas behind our arms and around our waists.
Off-the-shoulder tops are a secret hack; they work wonders in the flattering department, particularly for your midsection and arms. Whether you want to conceal a food baby or just love the look of an off-the-shoulder blouse, we gathered 13 of our absolute favorite off-the-shoulder tops. Some are loose, others are flowy and some are smocked, but one thing’s for sure: They’re all flattering!
