Why Is the Red Off The Shoulder Dress Suddenly Everywhere This Summer?

This summer, all of our most revered style savants and pop culture icons are opting for one specific style—the red off-the-shoulder dress. A timeless, classic feminine piece, a red off-the-shoulder dress is a summertime staple that can be worn for any and every occasion, whether you're planning a romantic picnic date, hitting the town on a night out with friends, or searching for your next favorite dress to sport all summer long. 

Below, see how some of the world's most fashionable women have styled this trendy look, each with unique, alluring takes, ranging from everyday street-style looks perfect for running afternoon errands to head-turning outfits worthy of the most formal of events. 

Emily Ratajkowski recently sported an ultra-chic red off-the-shoulder dress while strutting the streets of New York City. The model opted for a casual, grungier take on the style, as seen in her tomato-red jersey minidress, complete with silver hardware detailing around the collar. Ratajkowski finished off the look with white leather Loewe sneakers and yellow cat-eye sunglasses for another playful pop of color, resulting in an effortlessly put-together street-style moment. 

In the latest collection for her clothing brand, KHY, Kylie Jenner donned a suede gown with twisted strap details. The sleek, elegant look was accompanied by another emerging trend—the wet hair look—and glowy makeup, courtesy of her very own Kylie Cosmetics products. Although she's sported numerous different styles over the years, this latest look is another classically chic look in a recent string of more polished, sophisticated styles worn by Jenner, illustrating both her personal style journey as well as the versatility of the timeless red off-the-shoulder dress.
