Correct examples

Incorrect examples

The jacket can be pulled up and worn normally without hanging off the arms

Jackets that are merely worn on the shoulders like capes are not off-shoulder jackets.

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