Cold Shoulder Tops have been popular in the last few years because they add a subtle sexiness to a casual summer outfit. I’ve recently had a few emails asking if cold shoulder tops are still in style in 2021?
The answer is yes! While it is true that cold shoulder tops have peaked, they have managed to hold their own and still look fabulous for spring and summer. Here are a few I found that stand out.
1. Bell Sleeve Cold Shoulder Top
Delicate Spaghetti straps and floaty bell sleeves make this pretty salmon top look soft and feminine. Pair it with wide crop jeans and some square toe sandals for a chic summer look.

Do you like cold shoulder tops? How do you wear them?
My friend called cold-shoulders “covid vaccine tops”, cuz they make it easy to get your vaccination :-)
That’s funny Lisa!
Love your site, Deborah. I went out and got three new pair of long shorts this week after reading about them here :-)
That’s great Lisa. Please tell me what else you’d like me to write about. Cheers!
I’m glad you posted this. I’ve been wondering the same. My take is that they are now a little dated, but can still be worn another season or two before they look completely dated. I actually just purchased one from Old Navy, a blue tropical floral. I think it’s such a pretty look, I wish it was here to stay.
