The trend for tight one-shoulder tops is nothing new, but it’s making a refreshing comeback. What makes the look particularly exciting is that it’s a perfect example of how fashion statements don’t always have to be colorful and eye-catching—sometimes a fine fabric, a clever cut, and a flash of nipple are enough.

Semi-sheer tops à la Bella Hadid prove that bold styles have long been suitable for everyday wear if you combine them correctly. Her secret recipe: Play with contrasts.
Instead of overloading with opulent accessories, she wears her delicate top in the earthy trend color with raw denim pieces. The result is a look that is by no means overstyled, but instead it fits in with the trend. And because the off-the-shoulder silhouette leaves room for a summer breeze, it lends every outfit a certain lightness—ideal for warm days when we want to feel comfortable.
With the “Free the Nipple” look, Bella Hadid is also making a statement for self-determination: Because everyone should decide for themselves how much skin they want to show.
