A [[coat]] that is [i]naturally designed[/i] with a low and wide-cut neckline, not covering the shoulders or upper chest area, leaving them [[bare shoulders|bare]].

Similarly to [[off-shoulder jacket]], this tag tends to be frequently misused for [[open_coat|open]] or partially-open coats that are worn hanging off the upper arms, regardless of how they were designed to be worn.

A correct usage of this tag includes post #3920022, since the jacket is naturally designed with a low neckline.

The following example posts do not qualify for this tag, since these are merely regular coats that are worn hanging off the upper arms instead of the original way these coats are meant to be worn ([i]on[/i] the shoulder), despite not being designed with a low neckline: post #4262369, post #3841269, post #3981557, etc.

If unsure whether or not the clothing in question qualifies as an off-shoulder coat, use the [[off shoulder]] tag instead.
