A strong shouldered trend is emerging as the weather changes from summer to fall. At recent events, Katie Holmes (in Calvin Klein), Lea Michele (in Michael Kors), and Kate Bosworth wore halter dresses, but with a twist. I tried to think of a way to describe the neckline and came up with "racerfront" (from racerback but it's in the front). I love this spin on the traditional halter, and it's so flattering in various colors and fabrics. I found a few options to show some shoulders in everyday life.

loving this trend. (though i think that dress looks weird on Kate, but the other two look great!)
ReplyDeleteLove this look! I'm a big fan of racerbacks. For some reason they make my not so great arms look good. Wonder how this would look. Defintely have to give it a shot :) xoxo
ReplyDeleteLove love and love!

suuuch cute looks!
ReplyDeleteloving the Forever 21 dress!
ReplyDeleteI know not everyone was into it, but I loved Katie Holmes' whole look: the hair, the color of the dress, the minimal make up. She just looked... "pretty" and sometimes that is enough!
ReplyDeleteThis shape reminds me of my favorite bridesmaid dress from David's Bridal, the Y-Neck style. I have been seeing it everywhere, and I totally get why!
Love the post!
Racerfront is the perfect term for that. I think it would do bad things to my heavier top half but I like the way it looks on Ms. Bosworth!
ReplyDeleteYes, the Nordstrom dress is my favorite! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThe Nordstrom dress is adorbs!
ReplyDeleteoh man. i love shoulders. and collarbones! so stunning.
ReplyDeleteThese dresses are stunning! : )
ReplyDeleteLove the look. Might have to go get one while it's still warm enough to wear a dress!
ReplyDeleteJust purchased a dress with the same neckline! I think it's so chic and sexy yet sophisticated!
ReplyDeletei'm a big fan of this neckline too, it's really pretty and i love how it shows off the shoulders. i only have 1 dress like this, but since it's an emerging trend, hopefully i'll start to see more like it in the stores.
