Ladies, we need to talk. We need to talk about a certain fashion choice some of you have been making recently:
Cutout shoulders
Now, at first glance, I wasn’t quite sure what to make of this look. I had to ask myself: “Does this look stupid?” and after some thought, the answers was: “Wow, yes. Very.” I’ve been all about making bold fashion choices recently–largely inspired by my girl RiRi–but this is not a good look.
What exactly are you doing with this? Just baseline, this isn’t particularly flattering. I know the shoulders are universally considered to be a great feature for most women, but this is a bit ridiculous. If you must show off your shoulders, try something like this:
Plus, when you look closely this really just reveals your upper arm…
Which we all know is the sexiest part of a woman’s body. (?????) At least when there’s a cutout revealing the waist or back, it’s somewhat alluring. This is just odd.
Aside from looking real dumb, this style also has some serious practicality issues, particularly when applied to sweaters:
A sweater is supposed to keep you WARM. How is it supposed to do that with your shoulders sticking out? It looks like you were trying to be edgy and crafty by cutting a shirt into a cool new style but it ended up looking like one of those paper snowflakes gone wrong.
Now, as a rule, I don’t give a crap about what men think of our clothing choices. By and large, women are not getting dressed in order to impress some dumb guy and what the hell do they know about women’s fashion anyway? However, I am interested to hear what they think of this look. I don’t predict good things.
This falls in the same category as wedge sneakers, winter shorts, and sleeveless sweatshirts: clothing that actually doesn’t make any sense. Sneakers should not have heels, shorts should be worn when it’s warm, and sweatshirts should have sleeves.
Cutout shoulders: that’s that shit I don’t like.
