Meet the Zoom Shoulder, Your WFH Fashion Hack

The Soirée Women’s Leadership Symposium delivered outstanding content all around, but for the fashion-addicted, keynote speaker Rebecca Minkoff was definitely a highlight. Minkoff discussed building a clothing and accessories empire, how she’s managing her WFH flow and introduced everyone to the Zoom shoulder. 

Zoom meetings and virtual social calls are a new normal in 2020, and now we’re learning how to dress for it. Minkoff is all about creating cool looks even if you can only show off the top few inches of your outfit. Shoulder details are proving to be a great way to deliver on screen and in person. Of all the new things we’ve learned in 2020, we gladly welcome The Zoom Shoulder.

The shoulder trend continues IRL, too! Sometimes the best shoulder detail is keeping it bare.
