Shake Up Your Shoulders With Cutouts, Embellishments, Ruffles, And More!

imageOnce upon a time, I used to raid my mother’s closet for her best ’80s garb and shuffle around in front of the mirror, giggling relentlessly at how ridiculous I looked with glossy patent pumps devouring my feet and a good 6 inches of extra material protruding from my shoulders. I have to say I honestly never thought I’d see the day when my mother’s Goodwill-bound shoulder-padded sweaters would once again become runway gold. But believe it or not, the latest trend in details is the highlighted shoulder, popping up all over the style spectrum with everything from beading and cutouts to serious structure and modern padding. This may sound like another unwisely resurrected trend of the past (*cough* scrunchies *cough*), but emphasized shoulders can look chic and updated, as long as you keep the rest of your outfit slim-fitting and understated. Too much bulk and you may just end up looking like a linebacker… or like you’re swimming in your mother’s wardrobe rejects once again. Take a look at the slideshow for a dozen ways to shimmy in style this season!
