April may be the cruelest month, but March is the most indecisive – you need your snow boots one day and shorts the next, and here at Bullet Blues we can find dressing for early spring to be a bit of a sartorial conundrum. After bundling up for four long months, we want to show some skin, but we don’t want to shiver, either! Enter: the cold shoulder top.

Spring’s 2016’s latest trend shows off a flirty bit of skin without exposing too much, making it the perfect trend for light spring layering that will protect you from the unpredictable weather while still looking cute. Bonus: when paired with a classic pair of Made in USA designer denim from Bullet Blues, the cold shoulder top becomes an instant fashion hit. Read on to learn how to pair a cold shoulder top with all your designer faves from Bullet Blues!

Classic Cold Shoulder Top Look

For Bullet Blues girls who adore classic french-girl style, nothing is more je ne sais quoi  then a black and white striped top paired with skinny white jeans and neutral accessories, but a black and white striped cold shoulder top gives this look an extra sexy punch. A pair of cropped white skinny jeans, like the Miami Chic Cropped Skinny Jean made in USA from Bullet Blues, shows an extra bit of flirty skin at the ankle, while an on-trend army green vest provides a masculine counterpoint. Slip into a pair of nude flats, put on a cute pair of mother-of-pearl earrings, and grab your favorite burgundy bucket bag, and you’re ready to take on a weekend exploring the city with your BAE or your bestie.

Femme Cold Shoulder Top Look

For a sweeter, more femme look, opt for a flowier white cold shoulder top in a creamy white paired with a slouchy pair of boyfriend jeans, like the Le Copain Reverie Boyfriend Jean Made in USA from Bullet Blues. Edgy accessories, like a leather backpack, stacked heel booties, and an inky black floppy brimmed hat, add a bit of punch to this otherwise basic outfit, while blush touches, like a soft rose quartz nail polish paired with a rose gold bangle, provide a soft pop of color. Wear this girly look with soft pink blush and loose waves at a cool outdoor concert with friends or for a day at the mall.

Boho Cold Shoulder Top Look

If the boho book is more your bag, the cold shoulder top trend is right up your alley! Opt for a cold shoulder top that’s super flowy paired with super skinny black jeans  (we like the Chic Parisien Skinny Cigarette Jean Made in USA from Bullet Blues, natch) and tall suede booties for a look with tons of drama. Boho accessories like a fringe-y cognac suede bag, lots of layered necklaces, and gold mandala phone case play up the boho vibe, while a swipe of inky cat-eye liner adds a subtle sexy, edgy touch. This look is perfect for casual drinks or a second or third date with that cutie you met at the coffee shop!
