Hole-In-The-Shoulder Tops

During the Easter holidays, I started looking at spring/summer fashion in stores and for some unknown reason, I really got into what I call the 'hole-in-the-shoulder tops'. Maybe it's because I like the look with the sleeves sort of droopy and hanging. It gives the outfit a sort of effortless, casual chic feeling.

One brand which is doing these tops is Zucca.
These (Zucca) tops are so casual and easy to wear. Just throw them on with jeans or denim shorts.
Another brand which is doing this is Vanessa Bruno. The VB ones are of course, more elegant and feminine and less of the jeans-and-t-shirt look than Zucca's. Love the dress on the right.
I think this is the top that got me into this look. Don't the 'sleeves' look like wings? It's style can be casual or smart -makes it kind of suitable for different looks.
Daryl K's Doctored Dress is more of 'hole-in-the-sleeves' dress. I think the black and orange dress (right) is sort of cool, but I've tried it on and the dress is hard to pull off. (That's when I realised I should stop obsessing over this type of tops.)
Now this Ann Demeulemeester tunic is just simple and cool. It has a very effortless vibe. A similar top is the one on the right by Maria Bonita. It feels younger than the Demeulemeester tunic but just not as chic.
And here is how real life people (as opposed to mannequins) wear these tops. Isn't it so cute? And see what I mean by the sleeves dangling down?
Nicole Richie looking very casual chic in one of these tops and shorts. Loves it!

This trend isn't so appealing, in my opinion.

an interesting top, but why are you showing us poor Richie wearing it? With her weight problem, she's no good advertisement for clothing.

I actually like this look very much, it's quite feminine. Although I don't think the cut sleeves look nice when they're too "neat"(for example the Zucca tops, which I think look too contrived). I think the white shirt (fourth picture from the top) achieves this look perfectly, its natural-looking and hangs beautifully me thinks.

the asian girl picture, very cute! I have to admit, this style can be done very well and look cute or just be a disaster

I think this style can be great when it's done in a very loose, drapey, breezy way. Neat little holes on a fitted top/dress can look contrived. Love the Vanessa Bruno and Maria Bonita tops!

Haha I didn't realise there was so much resentment towards Nicole. And Jennifer is right, you must be careful to not look trashy with some of these looks. Loose and drapey is the way to go.

Asian girl is part of an infinitely successful pop duo from Hong Kong, so technically, she's not a "real person". I suspect stylists lurking, haha.

Yeah, doesn't really float my boat.

no offense.. but somehow to me, the top looks like a piece of rag with holes through it on charlene.

the first top really caught my attention and made the style look nice though.

btw do u know where i can find high waist wide leg pants in hk?

I'm still deciding whether I like the style or not. I noticed that the fabric used in the photos is very plain. I think it would a lot better with sheer, patterned fabrics.

oh the 'real-life' ones look a lot cuter than the model ones!

I love the look when it is both shoulders, but when it is asymmetrical, I don't care for it as much.

I think only people with buff/skinny arms are allowed to wear these types of shirts, ie Charlene Choi and Nicole Richie. Bigger arms just look ridiculous in these tops IMO

Maybe it's edcurenz.com because I like the look bluemanspill.com with the sleeves sort of droopy and hanging. It gives sildenafrance.com the outfit a sort of effortless, casual chic feeling.
