Keep the heat at bay with these 11 stylish off-the-shoulder dresses

Adele’s a fan and you will be too in no time at all, for here’s an off-the-shoulder dress perfect for keeping you cool and looking good. 

There are few things more refreshing than an off-the-shoulder dress, which manages to hit the sweet spot between being cool and comfortable, while maintaining its stylish credentials too.

Among the legions of off-the-shoulder dress’ fans are Adele, which is reason enough to invest in one if you haven’t already, Naomi Campbell and Selena Gomez. And this trio is just the headline act.  

An off-the-shoulder dress can be made more appropriate for more formal daytime events by slipping one of the shoulders on, and keeping one off.

For those looking to emulate the celebrity-approved, shoulder-flashing look but with a more day-to-day dress, look to Instagram favourite Sleeper, whose linen off-the-shoulder frocks struggle to stay in stock for good reason. There’s a wealth of off-the-shoulder gems on the high street, too, with Asos’s virtual shelves jam-packed with floaty iterations of the trend.

Whichever style you choose to embrace, here are the 11 best off-the-shoulder dresses to add to your basket bella, pronto.
