Hands up if you are bored of winter now.

Well then shrug off your woolly knits and make a stand against the chilly temperatures by baring the high street’s new favourite erogenous zone.

Cut-out sleeves and Bardot necklines are everywhere, giving tantalising glimpses of shoulders.

So whether you are planning your holiday wardrobe or just feeling optimistic about England’s weather, this trend is perfect for those who want to flash a little flesh but keep the dreaded upper arm area well covered.
