Fashion trends do not care that we are in a pandemic. These little persistent buggers press on, popping up in magazines and IG feeds urging us to spend any extra coinz we have. One trend that took me by surprise was the shoulder pad T-shirt. Yes, you read that right! Shoulder pads are back in style in 2020!! I never would’ve thought they’d make a comeback but let’s face it, stranger things have happened this year.
The current shoulder pad T-shirt trend is an ode to the 80s muscle tee. What I love most about the style is that it adds just a little bit of extraness to an otherwise basic fit. As a girl, who’s daily uniform is jeans and a Tee, I appreciate this subtle way to elevate my look. Honestly, the strength of this trend is its simplicity. Think about it! There’s already a million ways to style a basic T-shirt and now you can swap a shoulder pad T-shirt any time you want to switch things up.

You don’t have to spend a lot of money to achieve this look either. There are plenty of affordable options available like this one from ASOS or this glitter option from Mango. Even better you can DIY this look! Just remove the shoulder pads from one of your dad’s old blazers or order shoulder pads offline and sew (aka safety pin if you’re like me and can’t sew) them into the sleeves of your favorite tee. Instant on trend T-shirt.
Don’t be surprised if you see me wearing this shirt style in a million different colors. It’s too good not to!
