There are tons of retro looks that resurface over the years, but one of my favorite silhouettes of all time is the off-the-shoulder look. Whether it’s done with a ruffle, a slim-fitting top, or some other interpretations, the look is flirty and sexy without necessarily being low cut. You can play with accessories to take it throughout the decades, often using the same piece for many different looks.
The current shoulder-baring look of the moment has been the cold shoulder look, carrying us through a couple of seasons now. However, if you want to make a timeless purchase, the key is to keep it simple and embellish with trendy accessories.
Here are 16 Plus-Size Instagram Babes Rocking The Off-The-Shoulder Look.
1. Ivory Jinelle
LA-based Ivory Jinelle’s looks are always on fire. This off-the-shoulder dark floral number is no exception to the rule. Check out the leg warmers paired with heels! As always, she nails the look.

5. Rebeca Gomez
Rebeca Gomez shows off this gorgeous off-the-shoulder look that has spring written all over it, despite it being a black maxi. This is an excellent example of how black can be used in spring looks, too!
6. LaShaunae Veggies
LaShauane Veggies is a 20-year-old fatshionista that made waves challenging the idea of what a skater could look like by wearing a Thrasher crop top. From racism to sexism to fatphobia, the rolls came out in droves to drag the young woman for her fashion choices. Instead, today we celebrate them with this killer off-the-shoulder gingham look.
7. Gaëlle Prudencio
Parisian blogger Gaëlle Prudencio features a boldly printed skirt and a nice, simple white top as the perfect combo. Pair it with spring colored sandals (as seen), and you’ve got a complete look!
