The Bridal Trend That Will Be Big in 2017
You saw the trend on celebrities like Olivia Palermo and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, on bloggers like Aimee Song, and (more than likely) hanging in your own closet as well. So was there any doubt that the off-the-shoulder craze would eventually permeate every single facet of women's wardrobes, including wedding dresses?
The fall 2017 bridal collections debuted this week, and we spotted many an off-the-shoulder silhouette from some of the biggest designers out there. Vera Wang, for one, took an especially unique route, creating an off-the-shoulder dress with slouchy, extra-long sleeves. Sachin & Babi also put a cool spin on the look with bow-bedecked sleeves. Reem Acra and Marchesa's gowns were more traditional, featuring dainty lace details and feminine necklines. All in all, there's no doubt about it: Tons of brides will be wearing off-the-shoulder dresses come 2017.
Scroll down to see how four different designers interpreted the off-the-shoulder trend for the fall 2017 bridal collections!

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
