Off-the-shoulder tops to wear to your vaccine appointment

The original that started it all – how could we not include it? The high wool content and on-trend roll neck make this a cosy piece that’s effortlessly stylish over jeans. It also comes in pink, black and camel. 

Top marks go to this affordable ribbed knit from Asos for an eternally wearable colourway and the elegant sweetheart neckline. It’s also an excellent reminder to keep your posture in check, as shoulders cut that low will surely slip down if you slouch.

We get strong ballerina energy from this Bella bodysuit from fashion editor-approved brand Sézane, which is made from comfortable organic cotton. The sunflower hue is especially cheering as summer draws nearer, but there’s a rainbow of other options, from mint green to basic black, up for grabs.

We can imagine few things more fabulous than turning up to the vaccine centre in this extravagant H&M design. The cropped off-the-shoulder shape is ideal for tucking into tailored trousers to balance out your silhouette, and the eyecatching pattern and metallic thread woven throughout mean this is one you’ll want to rewear for outings on 21st June and beyond, too.

Remember you don’t need to bare both shoulders – an asymmetric style like this gingham Zara top will do the job just as well. We like the fresh, springy colour palette, which is just as perfect for picnics as it is for your jab. The blue will even coordinate nicely with your “I’ve been vaccinated” sticker.

We’re also fans of this striped maeve top from Reiss; it’s a relaxed, easy option that’s simple to style for the daytime or evenings out (remember those?) when the time comes. The straight one-shoulder neckline is smartened up a little by the button cuffs on the sleeves.

Mango pairs this off-the-shoulder crop top with its matching cotton poplin skirt for maximum romance, but we think it’d look just as good with slightly more casual attire from your existing collection. No extra jewellery or accessories required with this one – those voluminous sleeves do all the talking.

Classic, chic, contemporary – this isn’t a flash-in-the-pan purchase for just one day, it’s an investment that you’ll pull out and rewear over and over again. The deep fold of the neckline and ribbed material make it look far more expensive than its £55 price tag.

A puffed, pleated shoulder, a flattering fitted bodice, and a choice of staple black or white to coordinate with any outfit – this is the most affordable way to tap into the off-the-shoulder top trend we’ve found. For a tenner, you really can’t go wrong.

Not strictly a top, we’ll admit, but we couldn’t resist that diamante strap. Plus, a crisp white shirt dress in a lightweight material will never go out of style – we like the oversized fit and dropped waist on this quirky River Island design.
