Adele’s a fan and you will be too in no time at all, for here’s an off-the-shoulder dress perfect for keeping you cool and looking good. 

There are few things more refreshing than an off-the-shoulder dress, which manages to hit the sweet spot between being cool and comfortable, while maintaining its stylish credentials too.

Among the legions of off-the-shoulder dress’ fans are Adele, which is reason enough to invest in one if you haven’t already, Naomi Campbell and Selena Gomez. And this trio is just the headline act.
