The gathered open neckline with “lowered” shoulders (especially in combination with a long skirt) always suggests hot flamenco and fire flower in the tarry black hair of the legendary Carmen - this is the name for this type of neckline that flaunts on dresses today, blouses and overalls.
Whatever you add to Carmen, this is an a priori romantic summer look with its own characteristics that should not be ignored.

Who will go for the carmen cutout

It is traditionally believed that a blouse with a “carmen” neckline will look best on the figures “rectangle”, “hourglass” and “pear”. If you are thin, then such a blouse will help you make the figure more appetizing, thanks to the free cut. Figures of types "pear" and "hourglass" neckline "carmen" in combination with a wide shuttlecock will help balance proportions.

There are also disadvantages: such a cut line inevitably visually expands the shoulders, so those with naturally wide shoulders (as a rule, this is typical for apple-shaped figures) should avoid this type of cut.In addition, the "Carmen" focuses on a lush bust, so if you do not want to emphasize this feature, you will have to abandon such a cut.
If you have already decided that the cutout "carmen" in your wardrobe is definitely to be, you just need to figure out where to put on a thing with such a spectacular accent.

For a more casual look, opt for free and comfortable carmen blouses. Firstly, it’s really comfortable in them, and at the height of summer it’s not hot either, and secondly, they are so easy to combine with jeans, trousers and skirts that you can easily “integrate” a new thing into your usual wardrobe.

Despite the fact that it would be difficult to imagine open shoulders in a working wardrobe, this also has a place to be, but only if your office has a loyal dress code or, of course, if there is none at all.
To create more rigorous looks, choose classic straight pants, tight skirts, culottes. Low-heeled shoes and accessories in neutral colors complement the kit.

For a trip to the beach, we suggest you choose a short jumpsuit (aka romper) and complement it with a straw hat, espadrilles and a rag tote bag - the perfect kit for a carefree day on the beach.

Open chiseled shoulders are very elegant, so, of course, can not do without classic evening looks. For going to an official event, choose noble, heavier fabrics that emphasize the beauty of your skin.
In combination with bare shoulders, long earrings will look great, as well as any jewelry on the neck that emphasizes it.
