Seducing, vintage, romantic and sexy. These are the most important features of an off the shoulder top. This model was made famous (even in its dress version) by one of the most beautiful women ever, Brigitte Bardot, which is why some people just call it “the Bardot”.

And yet, this clothing piece is not very easy to match. If it is well made, it has a great modeling effect on your body and, also, it is perfect for any season: great in spring and summer, but even greater in autumn and winter.

It all depends on what you wear with it (and what fabric you choose, of course). Exactly this morning, I decided to wear an off the shoulder top (I love them especially in this season), but at first I had some difficulty finding the perfect match. Thus, here’s some suggestion to get a perfect silhouette with a Bardot.

First of all, choose a pair of eccentric denim, maybe with a ripped effect, just like a “bad girl” would do. The off the shoulder top is very romantic, therefore a rock element will enhance it and let you avoid a too classy effect. After that, choose your favorite leather jacket. I suggest that you don’t choose a too sporty model (you’re already wearing denim), like this interesting bomber-like model by Goosecraft, with a quilted pattern, or even a classic biker model, like this one by Mango. As an alternative to denim, you cane use a pair of pants like ‘Grease Style ‘. And finally, the cherry on top: a scarf. Feel free playing with patterns, because a scarf doesn’t only have to keep you warm, but also add an original touch to your outfit. It has to make you special and match your personality: in this way your look will never be boring.

I can suggest you this wonderful model in silk and wool by Versace, or this elegant scarf by Missoni. You’ll be perfect, both if you’re going to a nightclub or to a formal job lunch.
