Bella Hadid Shows Us How to Wear Off-the-Shoulder Into Fall

It’s been almost impossible to ignore the fact that the off-the-shoulder silhouette has been the number one trend of the summer (by a long shot). If you’re as obsessed with the trend as we are, you probably don’t want to retire it come fall—and with a simple update, you don’t have to.
Bella Hadid stepped out in Los Angeles yesterday wearing C/Meo Collective’s Life Is Real Long Sleeve Knit Dress ($250). The key to making the off-the-shoulder trend work for fall is choosing the right fabric: Simply swap cotton and linen iterations for a ribbed knit material like Hadid’s dress is, and you can keep wearing it well into winter. Of course, the long sleeves on her version are extra helpful to offset your exposed shoulders for colder temperatures. Plus, her shoe choice is perfect for autumn: Come September, switch your strappy sandals for high-top sneakers and you’ll be comfortable and seasonally appropriate. Why is it that Bella Hadid is always ahead of the game?
